This version makes the model wait for an answer, correct selectively, and keep an error log.

Good. Do these without looking anything up: 1. Explain writing eval cases before changing a prompt 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.

A blunt review of my approach to a prompt for spreadsheet cleanup

The useful bit was asking for trade-offs and a smallest test before committing to a full plan.

Use this pass: - [ ] The goal is one sentence and names the user or decision - [ ] Inputs are current, relevant, and traceable - [ ] Assumptions are visible - [ ] Put the source of truth in the prompt - [ ] Mark missing evidence instead of filling it in - [ ] Add a stop condition before tool use - [ ] 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.

I finally found a good way to learn reducing hallucinations with verification steps

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

Tomas Varga

I want to learn reducing hallucinations with verification steps, but I keep collecting explanations instead of getting better at it. I have 35 minutes. Start by checking what I already know.
