How to get maximum benefit

  • Name the audience, goal, inputs, constraints, and output format.
  • Give the plugin one clear job per request before expanding scope.
  • Ask it to identify uncertainty rather than filling gaps with guesses.
  • Review important outputs before publishing or acting on them.

Limitations and safe use

Results depend on the quality and completeness of the context provided.

Review important factual, technical, financial, legal, medical, or public-facing outputs before use.

The plugin should support decisions and workflows, not replace qualified human judgment.
