Bring one real task

5 minutes of suggested practice.

Choose a small thing you need to do tomorrow and turn it into a short conversation.

Request to adapt

Help me with [task]. Here is my situation: [two relevant facts]. Suggest three options and tell me what information would change your recommendation.

Check your attempt

Choose an option for a reason you can explain. Correct an assumption before using it.

A harder variation

Add a new constraint and see which parts of the answer need to change.

Rescue a disappointing answer

5 minutes of suggested practice.

Find a reply that missed the point. Fix one specific problem with a follow-up.

Check your attempt

The revision fixes your issue without altering a detail you wanted to preserve.

A harder variation

Write a second follow-up for a different kind of problem: factual, structural, or stylistic.

Catch the unsupported leap

5 minutes of suggested practice.

Read a short generated answer and identify its most consequential factual claim.

Request to adapt

Identify the claim here that most needs verification. What source passage would establish it, and what would remain uncertain?

Explain it without the chat

10 minutes of suggested practice.

Related lesson

Rehearse the difficult minute

Related lesson

Ask for a decision, not a bigger list

5 minutes of suggested practice.

Compare these three options against [two criteria]. Explain the tradeoff in each. Ask for any missing fact that would materially change the choice.

Check your attempt

Your choice follows your criteria, rather than simply picking the first option.

A harder variation

Change one priority and see whether the recommendation should change.

Related lesson

Teach a format with one example

10 minutes of suggested practice.

Build a reusable format for a message or update you write regularly.

Request to adapt

Use this example only for structure: [short fictional example]. Apply it to these new notes: [notes]. Use “not stated” for missing facts.

Check your attempt

Names, dates, and numbers come from the new notes, not the fictional example.

A harder variation

Try a note with a missing owner and another with a cancelled action.

Related lesson

Make a one-page context pack

15 minutes of suggested practice.

Write the background you repeatedly explain for one project.

Request to adapt

Help organize my project context into goal, audience, approved facts, constraints, example output, and open questions. Flag conflicting or outdated information.

Check your attempt

Remove obsolete facts and identify which source governs each important detail.

A harder variation

Give the pack to a fresh conversation and see what it still needs to ask.

Related lesson

Keep your favorite sentence

10 minutes of suggested practice.

Improve a draft while protecting the part that sounds most like you.

A harder variation

Supply a short voice sample and name two features that should carry over.

Related lesson

Find an agreement and a disagreement

15 minutes of suggested practice.

Compare two short public sources on a topic you care about.

Request to adapt

Using these sources, show one agreement, one difference, and one question they cannot answer. Cite the relevant passage for each observation.

Check your attempt

Check that the differences are not simply different dates or definitions.

A harder variation

Explain what additional evidence would resolve the disagreement.

Related lesson

Run a fair tool comparison

15 minutes of suggested practice.

Try the same small task in two tools you already have access to.

Request to adapt

Complete [task] using only these inputs. The result must satisfy [three observable criteria]. Flag missing information.

Check your attempt

Record the corrections each result needs, including work required to use the output.

A harder variation

Try an awkward second input to see whether the initial difference holds.

Related lesson

Improve a brief by removing something

5 minutes of suggested practice.

Find a reusable prompt with redundant or conflicting instructions.

Request to adapt

Review this brief. Identify one instruction that conflicts with the goal or repeats another instruction. Explain the effect before proposing a smaller version.

Check your attempt

Test the shorter version on the same task and see whether any useful instruction was lost.

A harder variation

Add back only a rule tied to a failure you can demonstrate.

Related lesson

Explore three different premises

10 minutes of suggested practice.

Find distinct directions for a small creative project.

Request to adapt

For [project], propose a practical direction, a story direction, and a surprising-question direction. Include audience fit, a sample, and one drawback for each.

Check your attempt

The directions differ in their underlying idea, not just their adjectives.

A harder variation

Choose one and make a rough sample before polishing the wording.

Related lesson

Give an image somewhere to live

10 minutes of suggested practice.

Build a brief for an actual banner, invitation, or illustration.

Keep the subject fixed and compare two compositions.

Related lesson

A harder variation

Make a simple version log showing which details changed unexpectedly.

Related lesson

Make a tiny creative package

20 minutes of suggested practice.

Combine a direction, image brief, and short message for one event.

Request to adapt

Develop this chosen direction into a headline, a 60-word invitation, and a visual brief. Use only the confirmed facts below and flag any missing event details.

Check your attempt

All three pieces express the same idea and agree on the practical details.

A harder variation

Show someone the sample and ask what action they think it invites.

Related lesson

Delegate one inspectable artifact

Draw the action boundary

10 minutes of suggested practice.

Separate what an agent can prepare from what you want to review.

Request to adapt

For this workflow, list actions required to prepare a draft, actions that change external state, and the exact artifact I should review before those changes.

Remove one unnecessary permission and confirm the task still works.

Related lesson

Build a five-case test

20 minutes of suggested practice.

Challenge a recurring workflow with ordinary and awkward inputs.
