When in doubt, remember: Clarity beats complexity. The best prompts are often the simplest ones with the clearest instructions. If your prompt takes more than 30 seconds to read, it's probably too complex.
Start simple. Test. Add complexity only as needed. This approach will solve 90% of your prompting challenges.
Remember: Every "failed" prompt is a learning opportunity. The masters became masters by troubleshooting thousands of prompts. Your expertise grows with every fix.
