Improve one thing at a time

A practical lesson with an example you can adapt.

Treat the first output as a draft. Give specific feedback: preserve the main idea, shorten the opening, replace jargon or add a missing example. Save useful versions and compare them against your stated criteria.

A vague request

Not good. Try again.

A more useful brief

Keep the three recommendations. Shorten the introduction to one sentence, replace technical terms with plain language, and add one example after the second recommendation.

Try it yourself

Rewrite the example for your own project. Replace the audience, confirmed facts and requested output. Compare the answer against those requirements and improve one element at a time.
