Advanced Prompting Patterns

Quick Start

Use these when the assistant's first response feels safe/generic:

1. Challenge - "Grill me on these changes"
2. Verify - "Prove to me this works"
3. Reset - "Scrap this and implement the elegant solution"

Challenge Prompts

Force the assistant to critique rather than accept:

• "Grill me on these changes" - Get pushback on your approach
• "What would a 10x engineer do differently" - Surface better patterns
• "Find 3 ways this could fail" - Adversarial review
