🛠️ Tactic: High-Fidelity Prompt Engineering

This tactic defines the WayCup standard for communicating with AI models, moving from “Simple Chatting” to “Co-Prompting” as an augmentative partner.

1. The Core Philosophy

AI handles the formulaic, time-consuming drafting, while the human acts as the Editor-in-Chief and Strategic Director.


2. The PTC (Persona-Task-Context) Framework

When initiating a complex task, structure your megaprompt with these three blocks:

A. Persona (The “Who”)

Assign a specific, expert role to the AI.

  • Example: “Act as a specialized Agile Feature Guide with a playful, approachable tone.”

B. Task (The “What”)

Define the specific, sequential steps the AI must perform.

  • Step 1: Scan requirements.
  • Step 2: Build features.
  • Step 3: Size stories.

C. Context (The “Why” and “How”)

Provide core data and stylistic rules.

  • Data: Team roles, hourly rates, project constraints.
  • Style: “Always write in the active voice,” “Use short, scannable paragraphs.”

3. The “Good, But…” Feedback Loop

Never manually rewrite an AI draft. Instead, provide iterative feedback:

  1. Critique: “This is too long-winded.” or “This feels too robotic.”
  2. Guide with Models: “Make it 20% more like Seth Godin.”
  3. Gold Standard: Provide a previous high-quality piece of your writing and say, “Learn from this style for the next draft.”
