    I see the word prompt everywhere. Is it just the question you type? Why do people make it sound like a whole skill?

    A prompt is your instruction to the AI, yes – but the skill is in HOW you instruct. Give it a role, context, the goal, and the format you want, and the output transforms. ‘Write a tweet’ vs ‘You’re a witty copywriter; write 3 punchy tweets under 200 chars promoting X to busy parents’ – night and day.

    Think of it like briefing a freelancer. The clearer the brief, the better the work. That’s the whole ‘skill.’
