- SNK3-205generalSay what NOT to do — negative constraints workExplicit must-nots (no hype words, no invented stats, no preamble) shape output as much as positive instructions.L0–L1 · Curious–Hands On (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-201generalAsk for a table — structured output beats proseAsking for output as a table with named columns makes AI answers easier to scan, compare, and paste into real tools.L0–L1 · Curious–Hands On (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-053toolsX-style: AIDA sales email with constraintsSales copy (AIDA) can use AI if constraints ban fake stats and human owns send.L0–L2 · Curious–Capable (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-046toolsX snack: force clarifying questions firstForce clarifying questions first when the task is ambiguous — ambiguity kills quality.L0–L2 · Curious–Capable (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-006toolsForce bullets — constraint promptingHard constraints (exactly N bullets, format, must/must-not) steer models better than polite-but-vague requests.L0–L2 · Curious–Capable (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
