Tip #10 in this prompt-engineering thread — "Reverse Prompt": instead of guessing what to include, ask the model to interview you: "Ask me 5 questions that would help you give a better answer." The output gets tuned to details you never thought to provide. The prior tip (#9, "Decomposition"): break one giant ask into chained small steps — outline the structure first, then write each section. Big prompts fail; chained small prompts win.
