Break a big job into pieces

Do a big task in small steps in one chat, checking each before moving on.

Remove names and account numbers before you paste.

Prompt · 3 lines
We're going to build [THING, e.g. "a simple pricing sheet for our three service packages"] in steps. Do only step 1 now:
Step 1: list what each package should include, based on this: [NOTES].
Stop after step 1. When I say "next," do step 2: pricing logic. Then step 3: the customer-facing wording.
How to adapt it
  • Use this when one big prompt gives you a mushy answer.
  • Name the steps up front. Don't let it run ahead.
Don't paste this in
  • Competitor pricing you got under a confidentiality agreement
  • Use a business AI account, not a personal one, for company data.
