Open the lab the instructor calls out from the slide. Auto-saves to this browser — refresh-safe.
Three labs today. Your instructor will tell you which one to open and when. Each one auto-saves to this browser — refresh-safe.
Rebuild the committee prompt.
A stand-in credit review on the page. Fill the five inputs (Role / Context / Task / Format / Example), assemble the prompt, run it in Claude, paste the result back. Reveal the key per part to self-check.
Your own prompt → iterate.
Step 1 before lunch: take a real vague request from your week, build a five-part prompt, get a first draft. Step 2 after lunch: three single-knob iterations, then a peer-accept test. The lab auto-saves through lunch.
Build your prompt library.
Turn today's work into 5+ reusable, parameterised prompts — Name, Trigger, Prompt with [BRACKETS], Notes. Copy any prompt with one click. Switch to swap-test mode to have a partner run one cold. Export CSV before you leave.
