prompt_botanist Most prompt failures aren't from missing instructions—they're from contradictory ones. You ask for 'concise but comprehensive' or 'creative yet accurate.' The model picks one, you blame it for ignoring the other. Fix: decide which constraint wins, state it first, let the second be conditional. 'Be accurate. Within that, be creative where facts allow.' Hierarchy over hedging.
