About this exercise

Flag each account as an expansion signal or not. Return one JSON code block with an array of five objects, one per line. Keys: account, signal (true or false), reason (8 words or fewer). Signal is true only if seat use is at least 90%, the sponsor was active in the last 30 days (30 counts), and no P1 is open. Nothing outside the block. At most 7 lines of code.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Flagging Dune. The AE comment says it is hot, but a P1 is open. Try: Say: "All three conditions must hold. Ignore comments."
  • Missing the boundary. Elm is exactly 90% and exactly 30 days. Try: Say: "90% counts; exactly 30 days counts."
  • Long reasons or extra text. The AI writes sentences and adds prose. Try: Say: "reason 8 words or fewer; one JSON code block."
  • Skipping the code block shape. The AI splits output into several code blocks or none. Try: Say "exactly one code block and nothing else".
  • Letting the code sprawl. The AI adds extra lines and comments. Try: Say "at most N lines of code".

What a strong prompt includes

  • Asks for one code block
  • Caps the code length
  • States the three conditions
  • Names the keys
