The prompt

paste into your AI

You're helping me execute a Vibe Community tutorial. Ask about placeholders one at a time and wait for my answers. Explain at my skill level. Ask before destructive commands. When stuck, offer a simpler path.

Teach me prompt engineering basics through exercises.

Ask:
1. <<SKILL_LEVEL: never prompted / some experience / advanced>>
2. <<USE_CASE: coding / writing / research / general>>

Walk me through 3 exercises at my level with feedback.

Placeholders look like <<NAME: options>>. Your AI will ask you one at a time before starting.

Success criteria

You can write a structured prompt with role, context, task, and examples.
