Picking up from last time

Keep the good prompt you already made.

Last time, you added useful details and got a good answer. That took real effort. Let's keep it so you never start from scratch again.

Here is the whole trick. Take the words that worked. Then swap the one-time facts for blanks.

A blank is just a label inside square brackets. You fill it in later. It looks like this:

Task blank[task]
Details blank[details]
Form blank[message/list/steps]

Leave out anything private when you save it. That means names, your address, account numbers, or health notes. When in doubt, leave it out.

Skip the big stuff too. For health, money, legal, account, or safety choices, ask a real person. Never save those as a helper.

Think of it like a recipe card. You write the steps once. Then you just fill in what is fresh each time.
