What an LLM does
A large language model is trained to process language patterns and predict useful continuations based on the input it receives. That input may include the user question, system instructions, examples, documents, and conversation history.
LLMs are useful because they can draft, summarize, classify, explain, translate, brainstorm, code, and reason over text. They are also limited because they may misunderstand context, miss recent facts, or sound confident even when the answer needs verification.
The context window matters
The model can only respond based on the information available inside its context window and its training. Better context creates better answers. Missing context creates generic answers.
Practical workflow
Professionals should write prompts that include role, task, audience, domain, source material, constraints, output structure, and review rules. PromptKarigor is built around that exact workflow.
