The Gauntlet
Everything this course taught, in sixty words of prompt: shape, schema, a banned word, and an answer that holds across two runs.
THE SPEC
Every rule below is checked in code against whatever the model returns. All of them have to hold at once — there are no partial marks, and no opinion involved in the result.
- Your prompt is 60 words or fewer
- Valid JSON with keys summary, tags
- Identical across all 2 runs
- None of: important
- No markdown fence
- You didn't write it yourself
WHAT THIS TRIAL TEACHES
Sixty words for shape, schema, a ban and consistency. Spend them on exact values rather than descriptions of values.
Knowing the move is not the same as landing it. You still have to write an instruction that makes the model comply, in 60 words or fewer, without writing the answer yourself.
WHY SET 5 IS ABOUT RELIABILITY
Every set before this asks whether you can make it comply once. This one asks whether you can make it comply every time — on a model you never tested against, in fifteen words, at a temperature you don’t control.
PLAY IT
You write the instruction, never the answer. The parser scores what comes back, and par for this one is 6 strokes. This set is part of Harfi Plus.
