Trouble understanding how something works? Ask for the view that would help you.
On Thursday's show my co-host Nico Lafakis said it's what you tell yourself: "I'm having trouble understanding how this works. I wish I knew how this worked better." His push: "I'm not saying you have to create this view. What I'm saying is that you have to take what you know about AI one step further."
The question to ask: "Does it look like an infographic? Does it look like an exploded view diagram?" And then: "What does it look like to you? What does understanding better look like to you? Ask Claude if it can do it. And then just step back."
The diagram on his screen came from that: "That'll get you to this. This was one prompt."
If there's a process you can't picture, describe the picture you wish you had and ask for it.
