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. 🍓
