Look for this insight
Force clarifying questions first when the task is ambiguous — ambiguity kills quality.
Lesson hook
Here's a bit of Practical Magic straight from the feed: before you ask for an answer, make the model prove it understands the task first. The pattern to use: 'Before responding, ask clarifying questions until you are confident you understand the task.'
Do this now
Click the post (or skip straight to the chat if the image is loading slowly). Open any chat tool and paste: 'Before responding, ask clarifying questions until you understand. Task: plan a 20-minute team AI training.' Answer a couple of its questions. You're done once the model has asked at least one clarifying question before handing you a full plan.
