A go-to prompt: ask the model to restate your goals before it works
ZeroStateReflex · x · 2026-10-01
Chloe Condon (poteto) shared the prompt she uses most these days:
> restate in your own words what you think my goals are and what the problem i'm trying to solve is
The trick forces the model to surface its understanding of intent up front, catching misalignment before it wastes work. Reposter ZeroStateReflex says it has become one of their most-used prompts too.
