Write instructions your AI cannot misread

Jay WestOut of My Head · about 14 min

By the end of this step you have:

The instruction you give your AI most often rewritten so it cannot be read two ways
A five-line shape you can reuse for every instruction after it
A stop-and-ask line, so the AI hands back what it is unsure of instead of guessing
A side-by-side test of the old instruction against the new one
For an AI that answers customers or clients, the decisions it must never make, how it says no, and how it hands back to a person
