Incorporate project background (Context) and examples (References) into your prompts to guide the AI toward your specific style and requirements.
The Golden Rule of Prompting
The more information (Context) you provide, the less the AI has to rely on guessing. Never assume the AI will automatically understand your requirements without background data.
The True Purpose of References
References transform vague instructions into concrete targets. They force the AI to follow a specific vibe or structure that is often difficult to explain with words alone.
