Prompt Engineering Simulator
Practice writing prompts that get exactly what you want. Compare bad prompts vs good prompts and learn the patterns.
Why Prompts Matter
The way you ask determines what you get. Vague prompts get vague answers. Specific prompts get specific, useful results.
Explain Like I'm 5
It's like when you ask your mom for food. If you just say 'I'm hungry,' she might give you anything. But if you say 'Can I have a peanut butter sandwich with no crust, cut into triangles?' you get exactly what you want!
Explain Like You're My Boss
Prompt engineering directly impacts output quality and iteration time. Well-structured prompts reduce revision cycles by 60-80%. It's the difference between 'make it better' and actionable specifications.
Explain Like I'm Learning This
Think of it like ordering at a restaurant. 'Give me food' vs 'I'd like the grilled salmon, medium, with extra lemon, no dill, and the asparagus on the side.' Same effort to ask, wildly different results.
