Prompting Skills playbook/Module 3 · Core techniques

Day 28 / 100 · Core techniques · Self-critique

Make it check its own work.

A second pass catches a surprising amount. The trick is asking for specific weaknesses, not a verdict.

01

Draft

Get the first version as usual.

02

Critique

Ask it to find weaknesses against named criteria or a reader's view.

03

Revise

Have it fix what it found, and list the changes.

04

You review

It can't catch facts it never had. You can.

Don't ask if it's good. Ask what's weak.
