Context in a prompt: Basics explained clearly
This guide covers Context in a prompt. Use one real case and keep the next step clear.
What matters in practice
Key rule: Give only background that actually changes the decision or the form of the answer.
Set the goal first. Then use one real case.
A reliable way to work
Set one question before the test. Decide what result should count.
Name one owner. Record the current state.
Change one point only. Then check the result.
If money, customers or public claims are involved, add a human review.
Check the result again later. Keep only what helps the goal.
