Tips for better prompts

  • Mention Ampersand in your prompt. For example, “How do I build X with Ampersand?”
  • Ask your agent to verify field names against the provider’s documentation. For example, “Verify that the field names are real field names for the Account object, according to Salesforce documentation.”
  • Ask your agent to refer to Ampersand’s OpenAPI spec at https://github.com/amp-labs/openapi.
