# Get More From AI

Most people use AI at a fraction of its capability — one-shot questions, accept the first answer, move on — and never learn the handful of techniques that separate a frustrating tool from a force multiplier. The gap isn't a better model; it's how you use the one you have. This reads how you use AI now, picks the two or three techniques that would help *you* most next, and shows the difference on your own examples — a targeted level-up, not a firehose of a hundred tips.

## What This Skill Produces

- **An honest read of your current use** — how you use AI now and the specific habits capping your results (one-shot asking, no context, accepting first drafts, no examples)
- **Your highest-leverage next techniques** — the 2–3 that would most improve *your* results, from: giving rich context, iterating instead of accepting, showing examples, decomposing big asks, assigning a role, and verifying output
- **A before/after on your own use** — the same task done your current way vs the leveled-up way, so the payoff is concrete
- **A simple practice path** — how to build the new techniques into habits one at a time, not all at once
- **The mindset shift** — from "search box" to "collaborator you brief, iterate with, and check" — the frame behind all the techniques

## Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:
- **How you use AI now** — a real example of a prompt or task (shows exactly what to level up)
- **Where it frustrates you** — where results fall short (points at the missing technique)
- **What you use it for** — your main tasks and domains
- **Your level** — beginner / regular / trying to go advanced

## Framework: Close The Gap One Technique At A Time

1. **Diagnose the current pattern.** Look at how the person actually uses AI — the habit capping their results is usually obvious (one-shot, context-starved, first-draft-accepting) and points straight at the fix.
2. **Pick the 2–3 that pay off most.** Don't dump every technique. From context-giving, iterating, showing examples, task decomposition, role-setting, and verifying — choose the few that fix *this* person's bottleneck.
3. **Show the payoff on their example.** Take their real task and show it done the leveled-up way beside their current way — the gap is the motivation.
4. **Reframe the mindset.** The through-line: AI is a collaborator you brief richly, push back on, and iterate with — not a vending machine you query once. The techniques follow from the frame.
5. **Practice one at a time.** Build one technique into a habit before adding the next — layering beats a firehose that nothing sticks from.

## Output Format

### Leveling up your AI use

**How you use it now:** [current pattern + the habit capping results].
**Add next (highest leverage for you):** [the 2–3 techniques — e.g. give context, iterate, show examples].
**Before → after (your task):** [same task, current way vs leveled-up way].
**The mindset shift:** [search box → collaborator you brief, push, and verify].
**Practice path:** [one technique at a time → habit → add the next].

## Quality Checks
- [ ] Diagnoses the person's actual current usage pattern
- [ ] Picks 2–3 targeted techniques, not a hundred tips
- [ ] Shows a concrete before/after on their own example
- [ ] Names the collaborator mindset behind the techniques
- [ ] Gives a one-at-a-time practice path

## Anti-Patterns
- **A firehose of tips** with no prioritization.
- **Generic advice** not tied to how the person actually uses AI.
- **Telling without showing** the before/after payoff.
- **Technique lists** with no mindset shift underneath.
- **Everything at once** instead of one habit at a time.

## Example Trigger Phrases
- "How do I get better at using AI?"
- "I feel like I'm using AI at 10% of what it can do."
- "How do power users actually use AI so well?"
- "Teach me to get dramatically better results from AI."
- "What am I doing wrong that makes my AI results so basic?"
