Goal

Know which of the 4 prompt types fits a job, and build one tested master prompt for a job you do every week.

Why it matters

You already used two of these in the last two lessons. Prompting isn’t one thing. Ask for a whole website at once and you get a wall of copy you can’t check. Ask for one piece at a time and you can check every line. These 4 types are the first thing I’d teach anyone building with AI on my team.

In the full lesson

  1. Step 1 · Atomic: one small job, by hand
  2. Step 2 · Few-shot: show it, don't describe it
  3. Step 3 · Step-by-step: ask for a plan first
  4. Step 4 · Meta: have AI write the prompt
  5. Step 5 · Pick the type for the job
