Set the task and role
State the goal plainly and, if useful, assign a concise role to guide tone or expertise.
Add constraints and format
Specify required fields, length, style, and avoidance criteria to reduce ambiguity.
Use examples wisely
Include 1-2 short exemplars to anchor style; avoid bloating prompts with extras.
Iterate and test
Run small trials, inspect failures, and refine instructions; version prompts for reuse.

API Basics
APIs let software request data or actions from other systems through defined endpoints and responses.
Comparison
RAM vs Storage
RAM handles what your device is actively working on, while storage keeps apps, files, and system data available over time.
How it works
Global Positioning System
GPS uses timing signals from satellites to calculate a receiver's position on Earth.
What it is
Blockchain
A blockchain is a distributed ledger secured by cryptography and consensus nodes.
