End a prompt with "Before you start, ask me up to 5 questions you need answered." You'll get far better output than guessing at what context it needs.
One good example of the output you want beats a paragraph describing it. Paste a sample and say "match this format and tone".
Wrap pasted material in tags like <document>…</document> or triple quotes. The model can tell your instructions apart from the content you want it to work on.
Add "If you're not sure, say so rather than guessing." It's a simple line that cuts down on confident nonsense.
After a draft, ask: "Critique this as a sceptical expert, then rewrite it fixing the three biggest problems." Two passes beat one long prompt.
Long chats collect stale context. When answers get worse, ask for a summary of decisions so far, open a new chat and paste it in.
