Most people get answers worse than the demos for three fixable reasons: they never show it an example, they let it ramble, and they still feed it the old step-by-step prompts. Here is the fix for each, with a copy-paste line.

The 3 fixes

Give it an example, so it matches the format you actually want.

Make it lead with the answer, so the point comes first, not last.

Give it a goal, not a script, so its literal instruction-following works for you, not against you.
