Fix a prompt that gave a vague answer
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini
Diagnose why a prompt got a vague reply and rewrite it.
The problem
Vague answers usually come from vague prompts, not a dumb AI.
What this skill does
AI explains what was underspecified and rewrites the prompt to be specific.
When to use it
- Use when an answer was generic or off-target.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: vague in, vague out — the fix is almost always in your prompt.

Weak vs. better
the answer was bad
Diagnose why this prompt — [prompt] — produced a vague answer. Name what was underspecified (goal, context, format, audience), then give a rewritten prompt that fixes each gap.
Why this works
Fixing the prompt's missing goal/context/format is what turns vague replies into useful ones.
Practice task
Take a prompt that flopped and diagnose then rewrite it.
Self-check
- The missing elements are named specifically
- The rewrite adds goal, context, and format
- The new prompt is clearly more specific
Common mistakes to avoid
- Blaming the AI instead of the prompt
- Rewriting without identifying what was missing
- Adding length but not specificity
