Pick a small, real task: explain a confusing idea, organize your notes, or improve a first draft. Tell your AI assistant what you need, who it is for, and what a useful result would look like.
Give it context. Ask for a first attempt. Review what it gets right and what it misses. Refine the request. The skill is a conversation, not a magic phrase.
Use information you are comfortable sharing. Verify facts and consequential advice. Keep your judgment in the loop.
