- In short
- Diagnosing a weak prompt means holding a disappointing output against the five components to identify which one was left implicit. Generic output usually traces to missing context, an answer to the wrong question traces to an ambiguous task verb, and wrong length, tone, or shape traces to a missing constraint or output format. Running the five-component checklist before sending catches most of these gaps in advance.
