Think of a task you recently handed to AI — say, "write me an Instagram post."
Don't dissect the request. Picture it as the turning of seasons. Winter is a command with no context: a bare branch, no leaf, no fruit. Spring is the first hint of a topic. Summer is full context — audience, goal, tone, length. Autumn is iteration, refinement.
Run it in your head: which season was your request in? What hadn't bloomed in it yet?
Getting it wrong is fine: it is part of learning. Guessing first helps the answer stick later, and the answer itself comes after the explanation.
Copy your personal prompt and paste it into your agent's learn mode — it picks up your context and takes you forward.
Honestly: with AI it feels like you can do more than you can without it. After practice, check yourself without AI. (Bastani et al., PNAS 2025)
