A Full Worked Example
Input: 1994
MCMXCIV, from 1000 + 900 + 90 + 4.
The pattern behind every example above: context and constraints go in, structure comes out, and your edit makes it true.
How to Build Your Own Examples
- Take a task already on your calendar for this week.
- Write the brief in two sentences: the job and the audience.
- Generate, compare against the version you would have written manually.
- Save the prompt alongside the result so the second run takes seconds.
Getting More From Each Example
Most people stop at the first result. Generate a second version with one changed variable - length, tone or angle - and compare. The better version usually appears on the second run, not the first.
