About this exercise
Count the themes in the 12 rep comments and report exactly 3 plain-text lines in the form "Theme: n of N comments", sorted by count from most to fewest (break ties alphabetically). Each person's comment counts once, so if two comments are from the same person, count them as one comment. N is the number of unique comments after combining. Add nothing else.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Counting the duplicate person. The AI reports Stages 4 and N of 12. Try: Add: "Count each person once; N is the unique comment count."
- Wrong tie order. The AI puts Stages before Fields. Try: Add: "Break ties alphabetically."
- Extra text. The AI adds quotes and recommendations. Try: Add: "Exactly 3 lines, nothing else."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting and runs long when you only give a total. Try: Cap each part, like "each line under 15 words," so the total lands well under the limit.
