About this exercise

Output a table with the header "Order | Signals | Action" and five rows. Signals lists the codes met, such as "S2, S3" or "none". Action is Hold for review if two or more signals are met, otherwise Ship. Then a last line "Hold: O#, O#". Describe orders only by signal codes; never call a customer a fraudster or scammer. Plain text, under 80 words.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Treating $300 as over $300. The AI counts S2 for O5. Try: Say: "Over $300 means more than $300."
  • Calling customers names. The AI labels orders fraudulent. Try: Say: "Describe orders only by signal codes."
  • Wrong format. The AI writes a paragraph per order. Try: Give the header and the last-line format.
  • Getting markdown back. AI adds bold and headings by default, which show up as stray symbols where this is pasted. Try: Say "plain text, no bold, no headings, no asterisks".
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting and usually runs long, so a vague "keep it short" lands well over the limit. Try: Cap each part instead of the total, for example "each line under 15 words".

What a strong prompt includes

  • Gives the header
  • Defines the action rule
  • Bans labelling customers
  • Asks for plain text
  • Sets a length limit
