The author shares one prompt pattern: don't just write "act as a lawyer" — write "act as a lawyer who only answers in plain English, flags risk, and refuses to give advice outside US law."
The core idea: the constraint is what makes the role useful. This role-plus-boundary approach can be applied to professional prompt design in any domain.
