MCQ · NO COST

Vega has to put together a shift plan for you. She doesn't quite know your role, your priority, or the resources you have. You can open the conversation two ways. Which one saves more round-trip turns?

Why?. optional

Look for: closed contract, explicit fallback, scaffold at the end.

Invert the flow: have it ask before it guesses

The default first-turn trap: you ask for something, the model doesn't know what's missing, it invents it. Then you spend three turns correcting what it assumed wrong.

Vega and the rest of the crew work differently when you ask them right. Instead of opening with the deliverable, you first ask them to ask you the questions they need. Numbered, concrete.

Why it works

The model doesn't know what it doesn't know. But if you force it to enumerate what it doesn't know before proposing, it names it out loud. And you answer those three things once. by the second turn, it has everything to assemble something useful without assuming.

The pattern

code

"I'm going to ask you for X. Before proposing anything, ask me 3
concrete questions you need to put it together well. Number them."

Three is the practical number. Less and it gathers little. More and the model starts fabricating filler questions.

The same technique works with humans. When you're the one without context, instead of firing off a blind proposal, ask three concrete things first. It saves you the "no, actually..."

On the right, two openings. Which one opens fewer doors for the model to invent?
