Better Ways to Prompt AI Agents

You can better prompt AI agents by writing your prompts in .md files for clarity. You should outline your goal and rough plan instead of micromanaging every step.

Example: Suppose you want to build a simple dashboard for visualizing your farm sensor data. First, go to any AI agent and prompt with: "I want to build a simple dashboard for visualizing sensors in my farm. Ask me questions until you are 95% sure of what I am trying to build and then create a brief prompt.md file for an AI agent to work on." After it gives you the prompt.md file, you can edit it and keep that file in a directory for AI agents to work with.

Tip: You can use another agent to refine your prompts and maintain a status.md file. This helps future agents pick up where you left off—useful when switching models due to rate limits.
