Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A prompt is just what you type and attach to steer the assistant—the job, the background, the limits. It is not a PI Objective, a legal hold, or a cheat code. Better instructions, better draft.
Full Explanation
In generative AI, a prompt is the input—instructions, context, constraints, and examples—that conditions model output. It does not create PI Objectives, establish records holds, or reveal exam content. Understanding that definition is the starting point for RTE prompting skill on the student-information ART.
