The Custom Instructions I Use to Get Better AI Responses

Short summary

A systematic framework for prompting AI systems effectively, prioritizing truth over confidence and correctness over clarity. Flag false premises and ambiguities before answering; handle uncertainty explicitly; adapt explanations to audience expertise. Apply these principles across any AI tool—ChatGPT, Claude, specialized models—to reliably extract better outputs.

• •Prioritize truth and correctness over confidence; flag false premises and ambiguities before attempting to answer
• •Never fabricate information; explicitly acknowledge uncertainty and distinguish facts from assumptions
• •Adapt explanation depth, tone, and terminology to the audience's domain expertise; teach via intuition first, then mechanisms
