Checkpoint: Prompting as a Skill

Clear asks, roles, examples, formats and the refinement loop: one clean run, no hints from the story.

A module assessment: no story, just the skills you've built. Hints and retries stay, but the silver bar is higher here (85%+ first try), so a checkpoint medal means more.

Check your intuition

Which of these four asks is the strongest, most likely to come back usable first time?

Drag the labels

Roles the team tried. Drag each to whether it does real work (changes the answer) or is just theatre.

Drag each label onto its home, or tap a label, then tap a card.

Working role

Changes perspective, standards or tone

Theatre

Sounds impressive, changes nothing

Predict the response

You paste a warm, chatty product email you love and ask the AI to write a new one about a different product "in this exact style".

Here's an email our customers loved: [pasted]. Write one about our new returns policy in exactly this style.
