Clarification Prompts

Clarification prompts are used to resolve ambiguity, request more information, or ensure understanding before proceeding.

Key Characteristics

• Ask for additional details or explanation
• Useful for follow-up questions or when instructions are unclear
• Help prevent misunderstandings

When to Use

• When a response is vague or incomplete
• For iterative conversations or troubleshooting

Example Prompts

• "Can you clarify what you mean by 'scalable'?"
• "Could you provide more details about the process?"

Example Result

By 'scalable,' I mean the system can handle increased workload or users without significant performance loss. For example, cloud services can add resources as demand grows.

Best Practices

• Be specific about what needs clarification
• Use follow-up prompts to dig deeper
• Encourage the AI to ask clarifying questions as well
