Prompting Grok well

A one-page briefing style that works in chat, Voice, and the API.

  1. 01Job — the artifact.
  2. 02Audience — who it is for.
  3. 03Inputs — paste them.
  4. 04Bar — format, length, tone, must-nots.
  5. 05Uncertainty — ask, mark, or stop.
Skeleton
You are [stance]. Produce [artifact] for [audience]. Use only [inputs]. Constraints: [list]. If a needed fact is missing: [behavior]. First restate the job in one sentence, then do it.

Iterate. The second prompt in a thread is allowed to be 'too long, and you invented the metric in paragraph two.' That is Description plus Discernment, in the wild.
