Practical skill

Ask AI to critique before you ask it to rewrite.

Many people start by asking AI to write the final answer. A better first skill is to ask for review. Bring the tool a draft or plan and ask it to identify what is unclear, missing, unsupported, or risky.

Why this works

Reviewing helps you keep ownership of the work. You still decide what matters, but the tool can help you notice blind spots faster.

Example prompt

Review this draft for clarity, missing assumptions, unsupported claims, and places where a reader might misunderstand the next step. Do not rewrite it yet. Give me the top five issues and explain why each matters.

Try this today

Choose one real draft: an email, resume bullet, meeting summary, proposal note, or project update. Ask for a critique first. Then decide which suggestions are useful and rewrite it yourself.

Trust and safety note

Do not paste private personal information, confidential employer material, client data, or anything you are not allowed to share. AI review is useful, but responsibility for the final work stays with you.
