Select a prompt for a specific design task

Goal

Choose design prompts by deliverable and provide enough evidence to evaluate their output.

Step-by-step

1. Start with one task.
2. supply constraints.
3. specify output.
4. review the result against source material.

Worked scenario

Give a case-study prompt verified decisions and outcomes.

Write down the current behavior, the intended change, and the evidence you would need before deciding it worked. Use synthetic or anonymized material for exploration.

Acceptance check

Research, handoff, and career tasks do not share an undifferentiated mega-prompt.

Common failure

A convincing artifact can hide untested assumptions. Keep an explicit list of unknowns and test the highest-consequence transition before expanding the work.

Next step

Apply the guide to one bounded task, review the evidence, and adjust the approach. The linked reference is a separate publication; this guide is Knoveya's independent treatment of the topic.
