Rescue a prompt that ignored your instructions

Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini

What you’ll be able to do

Fix a prompt when the AI skipped part of what you asked.

The problem

AI sometimes ignores constraints buried in a long prompt.

What this skill does

AI restructures the prompt so key instructions can't be missed.

When to use it

  • Use when the answer dropped a requirement you stated.

Juni’s tip

Juni says: bury a rule in a paragraph and it gets skipped — list it up top.

The prompt

Main prompt
The AI ignored part of my instructions in this prompt: [prompt]. Restructure it so the key requirements aren't missed.

Weak vs. better

✗ Weak prompt

it didn't do what I asked

✓ Better prompt

This prompt — [prompt] — got an answer that ignored [which instruction]. Restructure it: put hard requirements as a short numbered list at the top, separate context from task, and end with 'confirm you followed all numbered rules'.

Why this works

Front-loading rules as a numbered list makes constraints far harder for the model to drop.

Practice task

Try it now

Take a prompt whose constraint was ignored and restructure it.

Self-check

  • Hard requirements are a numbered list up top
  • Context and task are clearly separated
  • It asks the AI to confirm it followed the rules

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Repeating the same buried instruction
  • Mixing rules into long context
  • Not asking the AI to verify compliance
