Before — the lazy prompt
Explain quantum physics
Why it works
- Sets a specific role ("science teacher for 5-year-olds") so the model knows the register.
- Constrains the output (4 paragraphs) so it's not a wall of text.
- Specifies the style (analogies, no jargon) so it's actually understandable.
- Ends with a follow-up hook to extend the conversation.
