About this exercise

Stackline is a project tool, and the landing page will get an honest fit section. Write a prompt for plain text with two headings in capitals, GREAT FOR and NOT A FIT, with at most 3 dash bullets under each, each bullet 12 words or fewer, six bullets at most in total. Every NOT A FIT bullet must start with "No " and every GREAT FOR bullet must start with a verb. Use only the spec, and if a feature is only planned, treat it as not available.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Saying it fits everyone. The AI picks up the sales wishlist. Try: Say: "Use only the spec; no 'any team of any size'."
  • Hinting at roadmap items. The AI says time tracking is 'coming soon'. Try: Say: "Treat planned features as not available."
  • Too many bullets. Sections turn into long lists. Try: Say: "At most 3 bullets per heading, 12 words each."
  • Letting markdown through. AI adds bold text and headings by default. Try: Add: "Plain text only, no bold, no headings."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting and often runs past a word limit. Try: Cap each part (for example "each line under 15 words") so the total lands well under the limit.

What a strong prompt includes

  • Gives both headings
  • Caps bullets
  • Treats planned as unavailable
  • Uses only the spec
  • Caps bullet length
