Prompting Basics
Getting value out of PlayerZero is closely linked to the quality of prompts that are used to talk to your code and data.
PlayerZero prompting basics
- Be specific and detailed – The more context you provide, the better the AI can understand and respond. Include relevant details, links, or examples when possible.
- Start with a clear “kickoff” question – Use your first question to set the direction. This helps the AI frame the context window and stay focused on your objective.
- Embrace follow-ups as part of the process – You don’t need to get everything perfect upfront. Think of prompting as a back-and-forth—refine and redirect as needed.
- Assign tasks like you would with a teammate – Approach PlayerZero as if you’re delegating a job. Be clear about what you want done, and give it the same guidance you’d give a human peer.
- Use complete thoughts and full sentences – This helps reduce ambiguity and ensures your intent is understood the first time.
- Have a goal before you start – Whether you’re trying to debug an issue, summarize internal context, or explore part of the codebase—know what you’re aiming to accomplish so the AI can guide you there faster.
Great prompts ask for clear outputs by linking specific concepts together
Sample Prompts:
- “Tell me different actions users can take when managing invoices and explain how different user roles change what they’re allowed to do.”
- “I’m getting this error [Paste in Error]. Show me functions that are linked to this error and summarize the impact this has on the user.”
