Domain knowledge is the specialized understanding that helps an IT professional recognize the right questions, requirements, and boundaries for an AI task. Combined with prompt engineering, it produces more useful insights than either skill alone. section 4.7
Use domain knowledge to:
- Define a technical problem or marketing goal precisely before asking AI for help. section 4.7
- Specify product requirements and boundaries instead of requesting an unstructured final answer. section 4.7
- Check AI-generated work against the realities of the professional context. section 4.7
Structured guidance
Rather than asking AI to create a finished product, provide a template, requirements, boundaries, and step-by-step direction. Like paint by numbers, the structure guides the result while leaving room for variation. section 4.7
