i stopped writing prompts a few weeks ago and my output got better... all agents i used are trained on my prompting principles, started sending voice notes through telegram with raw ideas, and let the system handle the rest because sitting there engineering a solid prompt is just more friction the real skill is always upstream: knowing what outcome you want, understanding why certain structures get better results, building mental models for how these systems interpret instructions that part never goes away, and no agent can replace it because it's the judgment layer but everything downstream of that judgment... the formatting, the structure, the assembly that's just labor every tool eventually splits into a strategy layer and an execution layer, and the execution layer always gets automated first prompting just hit that split faster later this year models will get smart enough to interpret messy inputs without needing much at all... which means the window where even your agents need good prompting is shrinking the only durable advantage is the thinking that sits above the prompt
