A practical first session with clear goals.

Choose one small task

Start with a task whose result you can check yourself. For a conversation, ask for an explanation and a worked example. For a coding task, work in a small project and identify the behavior you want to change.

Give useful context

Describe your goal, relevant files or input, constraints and what a successful result looks like. Ask for clarification when essential information is missing.

Output
Goal: explain this function to a beginner.
Context: [paste the function and its inputs].
Output: a plain-language explanation, one worked example,
and two questions that check my understanding.

Try it

Use a function you already understand. Compare the explanation with its actual behavior, then refine your prompt.
