Assumption Audit prompt: list assumptions first, then confirm before answering
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-10-22
Prompt 4, the "Assumption Audit": before answering, the model lists every assumption about what you know, the output's purpose, constraints, and what counts as a good answer — then asks you to confirm or correct each one before starting. Key insight: most bad outputs start with wrong assumptions nobody caught, and hard constraints outperform soft instructions.
