What you'll learn
- Diagnose weak outputs Spot whether bad AI work is coming from missing context, bad scoping, hallucination, sycophancy, or context rot.
- Package reusable context Build hot-start documents and project instructions so new chats begin with the right background.
- Split complex work Break research, outlining, writing, and production into separate focused AI passes.
- Prompt before prompting Use AI to interview you, write stronger briefs, and generate better research or system prompts before the real task.
- Work as the orchestrator Decide what belongs with you, what belongs with the model, and what should connect back into your everyday tools.
