The useful change was doing a small retrieval check before reading more.

I want to learn human review for automated workflows, but I keep collecting explanations instead of getting better at it. I have 35 minutes. Start by checking what I already know.

ChatGPTgpt-5

Good. Do these without looking anything up: 1. Explain human review for automated workflows in two sentences. 2. Give one situation where you would use it and one where you would not. I am checking your current model, not your vocabulary. A partial answer is more useful than a polished guess.

How I ask for help with accessibility review for a form

Not magic wording, just enough context and a clear definition of done. Easy to adapt.

Leila Lane

Be blunt about my plan for accessibility review for a form. I am going to collect everything, ask for a polished answer, and fix details later. What is likely to go wrong?

Three things. - “Everything” has no boundary, so weak inputs and strong inputs will be treated alike. - A polished answer can hide missing evidence. Ask for gaps and assumptions before prose. - “Fix details later” means there is no acceptance test now. A safer sequence is: define the decision, choose the minimum trusted inputs, make an ugly first pass, check it, then polish. For this task, check the keyboard path.

What finally made accessibility review for a form click for me

The first answers were broad enough to be useless. This version asks for assumptions, evidence, and a next step.

Help me check labels, focus order, errors, contrast, and keyboard behavior for a form. Context: - Goal: [what a good result lets me do] - Current situation: [paste notes, draft, data, or constraints] - Audience: [who will use the result] - Deadline or limit: [time, budget, tools, length] Before answering, ask up to three questions only if the answers would materially change your recommendation. Ot

This is usable as written. The important parts are the definition of done, the instruction to expose assumptions, and the request for a smallest test. For accessibility review for a form, I would start with these checks: - Name the user decision first - Check the keyboard path - Remove one competing action If you share real material, remove anything private first and replace bracketed fields with concrete details.

Gemini found the hole in my accessibility review for a form plan

I wanted help with accessibility review for a form without pretending the model knew facts I had not provided.

Leila Lane

For accessibility review for a form, should I build a complete plan first or test one small slice? I have limited time and I do not want throwaway work.

Geminigemini-2.5-pro

Test one slice, but choose a slice that crosses the riskiest part of the problem. A tiny easy demo will only prove the easy part. Use this decision rule: - If reversing the choice is cheap, try it. - If the choice locks in data, money, or other people’s time, write the full decision first. - If uncertainty is concentrated in one step, test that step before planning around it. For accessibility review for a form, make the first test produce evidence you can compare, not just something that looks complete.

My notes from fixing accessibility review for a form

I kept the useful constraints and dropped the role-play. It works better when the missing details are stated plainly.

Leila Lane

I am stuck on accessibility review for a form. I need to check labels, focus order, errors, contrast, and keyboard behavior for a form, but my current attempt is getting vague and too big. What would you check first?

ChatGPTgpt-5

First, shrink the decision. Do not solve the whole subject at once. 1. Name the user decision first. 2. Check the keyboard path. 3. Remove one competing action. Write down the result you need by the end of this session. Then choose one input you trust and make a first pass that can be checked. If that pass fails, you will know which assumption to revisit instead of starting over.

A blunt review of my approach to accessibility review for a form

The first answers were broad enough to be useless. This version asks for assumptions, evidence, and a next step.

Leila Lane

Give me a short checklist for accessibility review for a form. I want something I can run before I call the work done.

ChatGPTgpt-5

Use this pass: - [ ] The goal is one sentence and names the user or decision - [ ] Inputs are current, relevant, and traceable - [ ] Assumptions are visible - [ ] Name the user decision first - [ ] Check the keyboard path - [ ] Remove one competing action - [ ] One failure case has been tested - [ ] The next owner and next action are clear If you cannot check an item, mark it unknown. Do not quietly treat unknown as done.
