How to Write an AI Prompt: Stop Asking Tiny Questions

Most people ask one small question at a time and stitch the answers together themselves — which makes them the bottleneck. Hand the AI the whole goal with rich context and let it do the assembly. That single shift is the line between a user and a builder.

How do you write a good AI prompt?

Give it the whole goal, not the next step: what you want, who it's for, the constraints, and what good looks like. Then add the autonomy line — tell it to make smart decisions and finish before coming back to you. A good prompt reads like a brief to a contractor, not a question to a search engine.
