Meta-prompting
Using AI to help clarify and develop the instructions for a task.
In the book
Work through your goal, context, material and criteria before asking for the final result. Configuring an assistant this way is distinct from training its underlying model; continuity depends on the context available to it.
Introduced in chapter 8, “Neverending ConversAItions”.
Put it into practice: Meta-prompting. Ask AI to help clarify the task before it starts solving it.
