01 / Find the basics
Identify where to start a conversation, attach permitted files, view history, and read privacy or workspace settings. Interfaces change, so learn the concepts rather than memorizing button positions.
02 / Use the four-part request
Describe your goal, give relevant context, specify the format, and explain how you will evaluate the answer.
03 / Iterate deliberately
Ask what the tool assumed, correct one issue at a time, and compare versions.
04 / Know when to stop
If a task requires sensitive information, specialized judgment, or high-stakes accuracy, pause and use the approved process.
