# Prompting tips

Getting the best results from Spaceship requires effective prompting. Here's how to communicate your ideas clearly.

### Planning before prompting

Before you start, answer these questions:

2. **Who** will use it?
3. **Why** will they use it?
4. **What is the key action** users should take?

Clear thinking leads to clear results.
