Where it shows up
The prompt is short, the output is generic, and the person using AI has to keep explaining the same context again.
Look for missing audience, task, source material, examples, constraints, output format, and review criteria.
No technology
Before writing the prompt, write the work brief: who is this for, what are we trying to do, and what source material is trusted?
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Keep reusable prompt briefs in Word, Docs, SharePoint, or a team prompt library with owner and last reviewed date.
AI-assisted
Ask AI to turn a rough goal into a prompt brief, then add the real source material and review criteria before running the prompt.
