A Signal-Processing Analogy for Structured AI Prompts
The author’s signal-processing analogy for six-field prompt structure and questions for reviewing an AI vendor’s task-specification workflow.

I Treat My LLM Like a Genie (And It Fixed My Prompt Problems)
The genie analogy unlocked something for me about how to write prompts. Genies grant exactly what you ask — no more, no less. LLMs do too. Here's how I fixed my wishmaking.
I Was the Broken Instrument, Not the AI
I spent months thinking the model was flawed. The flaw was in my approach the entire time. This is the story of how I realized the instrument was fine.
I Wasted 80,000 Tokens Because I Forgot to Point at the Line
A 3-line CONSTRAINTS band would have saved 80,000 tokens. I didn't write it. This is the full story of what went wrong and how I fixed my prompting forever after.
