Request: to AI effectively and efficiently {the right Tone}

Situation:

I need an effective and efficient way to request something from AI:

  • no over-explaining
  • no long paragraphs
  • AI immediately understands everything that is needed

Solution

  • provide enough context
  • not excessive instructions

Too Few vs Too Much

❌ Too Few   → Incomplete, not useful
❌ Too Much  → Overwhelmed, information overload
✅ Pragmatic

I need to find the sweet spot – the one that feels “just right”.

The right Tone

not rigid instructions like: “make me a code for…”

but rather like talking to a teammate who is very smart:

I have A and B
please help me make C
following the pattern of A

the difference:

  • rigid → AI answers literally, nothing more
  • natural → AI understands the intent, the result is far better

Case study 1: Request - generate Code from an Image

I have A: {fileName.html}
I have B: an image

please make C for me:

  • based on B
  • following the pattern of A

Description:

  • A = pattern/style reference
  • B = content/layout reference
  • C = desired output

example:

Case study 2: Request - generate Code from another Code

I have A: {fileName.cs}
I have B: {fileName.js}
I have C: {fileName2.cs}

please make D for me:

  • based on C
  • following the pattern of A and B
