Clarity
Domain: Prompt Engineering
🎯 Motivation
Clear, unambiguous prompts prevent the model from guessing what you mean. Clarity is the #1 rule of prompt engineering.
📋 Concrete Example
Unclear: ‘Make it better.’ Clear: ‘Fix the grammar errors in this paragraph. Do not change the meaning. Keep the same tone.’ The model knows exactly what to do.
🔗 Analogy
Giving directions to a stranger - ‘go that way’ (unclear) vs ‘walk straight for 100 meters, turn left at the 7-Eleven, it is the blue building on your right’ (clear). Clarity prevents getting lost.
