Improve Over Time
Improve Over Time
The best prompters are not born—they build their skills over time. Here is how to keep getting better.
Ask Companions to Improve a Prompt After a Workflow Runs
After completing a task, ask for feedback:
- "How could I have asked for this more effectively?"
- "What would have made this request clearer?"
- "If I need to do this again, what prompt should I use?"
Your Companion can learn from the experience and suggest improvements.
Turn Successful Workflows Into Reusable Skills
When you find a prompt or workflow that works well, save it:
- Copy the prompt somewhere you can find it later
- Note what made it effective
- Refine it based on what you learned
The next time you need to do something similar, you have a starting point.
Create New Skills From Ideas or Repeated Tasks
If you find yourself doing the same thing repeatedly:
- Notice the pattern
- Write a generalized version of the prompt
- Turn it into a skill you can reuse
For example:
- "Analyze a product page" → Reusable for any product research
- "Compare two articles" → Reusable for any comparison task
- "Extract key data from a page" → Reusable for any data extraction
Build a Personal Library of Prompts and Skills
Over time, build a collection of:
- Prompts that work — Your best formulations for common tasks
- Templates — Fill-in-the-blank prompts for recurring situations
- Skills — Reusable capabilities you have created or discovered
This library becomes a personal asset that makes you faster and more effective over time.
Summary
Effective prompting comes down to:
✅ Outcomes — Know what you want before you ask ✅ Structure — Break things down, keep requests focused ✅ Meta-prompting — Let Companions help you prompt better ✅ Improvement — Learn from experience, build your library
The more you practice, the more natural it becomes. 🍓
