How to prompt Vilsem

Lead with the question

Say what you want to learn first ("who is on track?"), then the chart, then the look. The agent picks better fields when it knows the question.

Name the grain and period

"Latest full year", "per month", "each quarter", "top 10". Ambiguous grain is the most common cause of wrong numbers.

Say which order you want

Time order or ranked order. Years, months and overs stay in natural order only when you ask for it.

Describe the style

Dark card or light, gradient or solid bars, accent colours, labels on or off, a big year in the corner. Concrete words get concrete results.

Ask for a preview first

"Preview on real data, show me, then commit." The agent sees the render, reads Vilsem's critique and fixes contrast, overlap and ordering itself.

Let it choose the size

Ask it to place the visual on the page without overlapping others and keep text readable, instead of forcing a tiny box.

Edit, don't rebuild

"Make the labels bigger and the bars solid." Vilsem patches the stored spec with a before/after preview.

Sharing? Use model measures

For Publish to web and the Build pane, ask the agent to keep measures in the model, not inside the visual (get_playbook "9a").
