Ask for a deeper version of a task, not a bigger one

From Felix Rieseberg's tutorial "How to be more ambitious" (Oct 13, 2026; Felix works on Claude). The prompt makes the model say what a top professional would do, which raw material and methods they'd use, and what outside check would prove the result right, then rewrite your request. The tutorial also covers asking for the outcome behind a task and bringing in other fields.

I want a deeper version of this task, not a bigger one. Before rewriting it: (1) say what a top professional in this field would do here that I'm not asking for; (2) name the rawest material they would start from instead of what has already been digested for me; (3) name the specific methods and tools they would use; (4) say what, other than you or me, would show the result is right. Then rewrite my prompt to ask for exactly that.
