Prompt Engineering: Enforce Single-Turn Questions to Prevent Info Overload
dejanseo · x · 2026-08-24
Shared a prompt engineering rule to optimize AI interaction: Ask one question per turn, act only when all are answered. The instruction requires putting a single question with options per turn, waiting for a reply to lock it in, and never stacking multiple questions in one turn. The agent should only act after every open question is answered. This patch addresses the issue where models try to cram multiple questions into a single turn masquerading as choices.
