Prompt to Workflow

A half-day workshop. One task, one prompt, one workflow you can run on Monday.

The morning

Three blocks. One workflow.

Block What you do Output
Open Pick one real task A written brief
Build Draft, test, revise A working prompt
Share Run it on a second case A workflow card

The rule: no generic examples. Use your own work.

Exercise 120 MIN ยท SOLO

Write the brief before the prompt.

  1. Name the task and the reader.
  2. Write the context the tool cannot guess.
  3. Name the check that decides if the output is good.

Test

Give the brief to a partner. Can they produce the same output without asking you a question? If not, the brief is not finished.

The template

Four lines. Every time.

Task:     what to produce, for whom
Context:  what the tool cannot know
Format:   length, shape, audience
Check:    what makes the answer acceptable

Save it. The next prompt starts from this, not from a blank box.

Take it with you

One task. One check.

Name the task. Name the check. Run it three times on real work before you trust it.

A workflow is a prompt you have tested, with a person still deciding.

Close

The prompt is not the workflow. The check is.

Next step: run your workflow on one real task this week and note where it broke.
