Build your lab's grounding master prompt
Lesson 3 of 7 · Compliance & safe AI use
1 · Learn the move · Flipped interaction
Flip the game: have the model interview you about your field's reporting conventions, your funder and journal policy on AI use, and what may never leave the lab - then write the master prompt you paste before any real analysis, so it knows your rules from message one. Ten minutes once, defensible forever.
I want to build my lab's grounding master prompt. Interview me one question at a time about my field's reporting conventions, my journal and funder policy on AI-assisted writing, and what data may never be pasted into a model. Keep going until you have enough, then write the master prompt I paste before any bench task. Ask the first question.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You retype the same 'and do not state any number I did not give you, and mark unchecked references UNVERIFIED' every single time. Write a prompt that interviews you once and produces a reusable grounding context block.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
