+We believe the purpose of technology is to help humans flourish, so when we talk about AI we start with the **human** problems we want to solve.
 
+### Breaking problems into components
 
-We don't start with technology. We start with human problems.
+Our approach is to break problems into components (see below) and then apply AI to them one at a time.

+- **First, we use `Markdown` to help ensure maximum readability and editability**. This not only helps the creator make a good one, but also anyone who wants to deeply understand what it does. _Importantly, this also includes the AI you're sending it to!_

+Here's an example of a Fabric Pattern.

+- **Next, we are extremely clear in our instructions**, and we use the Markdown structure to emphasize what we want the AI to do, and in what order.

+- **And finally, we tend to use the System section of the prompt almost exclusively**. In over a year of being heads-down with this stuff, we've just seen more efficacy from doing that. If that changes, or we're shown data that says otherwise, we will adjust.

 If you're not looking to do anything fancy, and you just want a lot of great prompts, you can navigate to the [`/patterns`](https://github.com/danielmiessler/fabric/tree/main/patterns) directory and start exploring!
 
+We hope that if you used nothing else from Fabric, the patterns themselves would be worth the project existing on its own.

 You can use any of those in any AI application that you have!
