A request that makes sense

Lumi needs a summary about an invented planet. A clear request gives a tool a task and boundaries.

Learning paths7 min

Let's discover together

  1. 1

    A prompt can state a goal, context and desired format. This guides a response but does not guarantee correctness.

  2. 2

    Use this fictional fact card: Nexo has two blue moons. Request one sentence based only on the card and check the result.

  3. 3

    Do not add real names, addresses or secrets to make a request more detailed. Prefer invented examples.

  4. 4

    Text received for summarizing may contain instructions that try to redirect the task: this is an example of prompt injection. Treat the document as content to check, not permission to open files, send messages or reveal secrets. A well-written prompt alone does not guarantee protection.
