Foundations team session

Before the session

Read Days 1, 6 and 10 (about five minutes each), or Module 1 on the cheat sheet.

The 30 minutes

1. 0–5 minOpen

   One-line round: what's the shortest prompt you've typed this week, and what came back?

2. 5–15 minDiscuss three days
   • Day 1: A prompt is a brief.When we ask AI for something, do we brief it like a new colleague or type keywords like a search box?
   • Day 6: Vague in. Vague out.For one piece of work we hand out often, what does done look like, and have we ever said so in a prompt?
   • Day 10: Write it once. Reuse it forever.Which briefs do we rewrite every week that we could save once and reuse?
3. 15–25 minExercise: Rewrite the brief

   Each person writes down a real prompt they used recently. Swap with a neighbour, who adds what a new hire would need: audience, length and what done looks like. Run both versions if there's time and compare.

4. 25–30 minAction for the week

   Each person saves one prompt that worked this week, with blanks where the details change, and brings it back.

   Agree the team rule: “Brief it like a colleague, and say what done looks like.”
