Recently I’ve been experimenting with leveling up my prompt engineering – and I have to say the difference in the thoroughness, competeness and quality has been nothing short of outstanding.
I used to prompt by throwing random into the chat box and hoping something useful crawls out.
That’s not prompting. That’s haste with punctuation.
Now, I’m using this framework and methodoly (offered by Dan Koe – check out his YouTube channel.
𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 + 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 = “𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴”
Using the “prompt to do the thing” has yielded more thorough answers, better output, and far less time spent cleaning up the digital equivalent of confident nonsense.
A metaprompt (link to mine in the comments) gives you the structure. Expertise gives you the judgment. Put the two together, and you get a prompt that can actually produce something sharp, useful, and usable.
It’s a bit like handing someone a violin.
A random prompt says: play something good.
A proper prompt says: here’s the piece, here’s the tempo, here’s the standard, now perform.
One is vague optimism. The other is how you get something worth listening to.
In this video, I’m showing you how to combine a more complex metaprompt with real expertise to build an advanced prompt that can actually do the thing.
Because “just winging it” is not a prompt strategy.
It’s improvisation with consequences.
