I wanted to get better at prompt engineering. Not the trick-the-robot kind, the boring-but-useful kind: how to ask a model a question so you get an answer you can actually trust. The trouble with practicing is that most tutorials use made-up examples, and it's hard to tell a good answer from a bad one when you don't care about the topic. So I practiced on something I did care about: the deals sitting in my Amazon cart. I had a vacuum I'd been eyeing and a hair styler that was "43% off," and I genuinely wanted to know if those were good prices or just good marketing. The stakes were real, actual money on an actual decision, and that's what made it a good drill. A vague prompt gives you a confident answer, and when you actually care, you can feel that the answer is hollow. What I learned, with the real deals and the actual before-and-after prompts: The trap hiding in every deal Start with the hair styler. The listing said: Shark FlexStyle. Limited time deal. $199.00, 43% savings. List Price: $349.99. My first instinct was the prompt most people write: "Shark FlexStyle $199, 43% off list $349.99, is that a good deal?" This feels reasonable. It is also nearly useless: it lets the model answer the easy question (is 43% off a big discount? sure!) instead of the real one (is $199 actually a good price?). That $349.99 list price is a marketing anchor. A lazy prompt accepts it, and so you get a lazy "yes, great deal!" back. The fix was re-framing this: Act as a pricing analyst. I don't care whether $199 looks like a discount off list. I care whether $199 is a genuinely good price for the Shark FlexStyle right now. Before concluding, work through: (1) the actual street price over the last 6-12 months, (2) how often it drops to or below $199, (3) the real discount vs. its typical selling price, not vs. list. Cite a source and date for each price, or mark it unverified. Same question, completely different answer. What the assistant came back with, in its own telling: $199 is a
