From Prompt to Pattern

How a small fix—using one AI to rewrite prompts for another—became a system. A four-part arc on multi-model workflows, prompt refinement, and learning to think with AI.

What started as a small fix—using one AI to rewrite prompts for another—became something deeper.

At first, I just wanted cleaner output. So I asked one model to help me write better prompts for another. But as I kept iterating, a structure emerged:

  • One model sharpens the question
  • Another executes cleanly
  • Sometimes a third evaluates
  • And the human? Conducts the flow

Not a trick. Not a hack. A system.

The Arc:

  1. Help Me Help You (Help Me) — How I accidentally built a two-model relay to reduce friction
  2. When One AI Rewrites for Another — The emerging pattern of LLM-to-LLM refinement
  3. Prompt Strategists, Agent Orchestras, and What Comes Next — Why prompt refinement is just the first stage
  4. How I Work With AIs (And Why) — A look inside the real workflow
  5. From Prompt to Pattern — Wrapping the arc and opening a new question

Each post explores a layer: intention, structure, delegation, synthesis. Together, they point toward something larger—we’re not just prompting tools, we’re learning to think with them.
