Lesson 3: The sentence that builds the chart

Sheet 1

Same card. This time from an empty folder.

In Lesson 2 you changed this card. Today you conjure it from nothing but a sentence and a blank folder. Here is the destination, live, so you know what "done" looks like before you start.

The secret is not typing. The secret is the sentence. Get the sentence right and the intern gets the chart right.

Sheet 2

You are not learning syntax. You are learning what you can describe.

Nobody is going to quiz you on JavaScript. The skill that pays is knowing how to say what you want so precisely that a fast intern cannot get it wrong. That is a describable-request skill, and it has exactly four parts.

And do not file this under "prompting tips." Describing precisely is the thinking work: deciding what the chart is for before anything gets built. If you emailed yourself a mockup from the style room in Lesson 1, you have already held one of these sentences in your hands. Today you learn to write them from scratch.

A good direction to build a chart has four parts. What are they?

The chart (the shape), the fields (the data), the encoding (what maps to what), and the takeaway (what it should make obvious). Miss one and the intern guesses.
