Explore insights, guides, tutorials, and ideas across AI, technology, productivity, and other topics worth reading.

Learn how to design instructions for tool-using AI agents, including goals, scope, tool policies, handoffs, state, verification, stop conditions, and evaluation.

Learn how to design long-context prompts, organize documents and instructions, choose between direct context and RAG, manage growing conversations, and preserve important information across large AI context windows.

Learn how to structure prompts for cache reuse, separate stable prefixes from dynamic inputs, measure cache hits, and compare current OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini caching behavior.

Learn how to analyze a reference video’s subject, motion, camera, lighting, timing, style, audio, and shot structure, then reconstruct those observable signals into a reusable AI video-generation prompt

Learn which prompt-engineering principles transfer across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, which model-specific techniques need adaptation, and how to evaluate cross-model prompt portability.

Learn how to turn one-off prompts into reusable prompt templates with variables, runtime context, validation, versioning, testing, and prompt-as-code practices.

Learn how few-shot prompting uses carefully chosen examples to teach AI models task patterns, output formats, decision boundaries, tone, and edge-case behavior without fine-tuning.

Learn how structured outputs turn model responses into predictable, machine-readable contracts using JSON Schema, validation, tool calling, error handling, and provider-native schema enforcement.

Learn how to design the information environment around an AI model by selecting, structuring, retrieving, compressing, and updating the instructions, memory, tools, state, and evidence it needs for each task.
