Sharing single “magic prompts” can make everyone’s output look the same and put AI in the driver’s seat. Interaction Patterns are a better way to share process: name each step by what it’s for and link them in a flow.
Core idea: A “beat” is one prompt–response pair. Name it by purpose (e.g. Query, Self-reflect, Context, Validate, Structure, Think) and reuse it in different sequences.
Research: Set context and grounding, then loop: Query → Structure or Validate → Think (you decide next). Like “berry picking”: you gather a bit, think, then query again with a clearer need.
Brainstorming:
- Simple ideation: Ideate → look at ideas → ideate again (e.g. by theme).
- Divergent: Start with wild ideas, pull out themes, then ideate on a theme you like.
- Synthesise: Combine two or more ideas into one new idea, then explain and refine.
Critique: Set context and grounding → paste your draft → ask for critique → Think (what to change) → repeat until it’s ready.
The article has diagrams, example prompts, and the idea of team or domain “Interaction Pattern libraries.”
