Specificity
Being exact instead of vague. It shrinks the AI's choices down to the answer you actually wanted — vague in, vague out.
In practice
"4 bullet points" instead of "make it good."
Where students meet it
Specificity is taught in Lesson 2, Your Words Are the Superpower, part of the Prompting unit of the AI Explorers course for kids. Kai is the guide for that lesson, and it is one of 12 terms in the unit.
