The article argues that “prompt engineering” is essentially the same as good management: providing clear context, constraints, success criteria, and validation so people (and AI) don’t have to guess. Using an example with an agent building a Trello CLI feature, the author shows that vague instructions produced a technically correct but incomplete result, while more specific context led to an immediately usable command. The piece concludes that at scale, ambiguity is costly and managers must design requirements carefully rather than simply assign tasks.
