š” Tips for Writing Effective Prompts
ā Be Specific
ā "Clean my files"
ā
"Delete temporary files older than 30 days from my Downloads folder"
ā Provide Context
ā "Find that document"
ā
"Find the PDF invoice from December containing 'Amazon'"
ā Use Natural Language
ā
"Show me which app is slowing down my computer"
ā
"Find photos from my last vacation"
ā
"Back up my work files to the external drive"
ā Break Complex Tasks into Steps
Instead of one massive request, try:
"First, show me all files in Downloads"
[Review results]
"Now delete the files older than 60 days"
[Confirm]
"Create a report of what was deleted"
ā Ask for Explanations
"Explain what this command will do before running it"
"What are the risks of this operation?"
"Can you show me a preview before making changes?"
ā Iterate and Refine
You: "Find large files"
AI: [Shows files over 1GB]
You: "Actually, show files over 500MB"
AI: [Updates results]
You: "Only show video files"
AI: [Filters to videos]
