WHAT MAKES THIS WORK
Give it context.
Keep your judgment.
- Bring a bounded task. One reply or one messy file is easier to check than “organize my life.”
- Supply the facts. Include the source material, constraints, and the output you need. Share only material you are comfortable putting in your chosen tool.
- Compare before using. Check names, dates, totals, missing information, and any commitments. Use the follow-up prompt when something is off.
