Name the job
A fuzzy ask is a wish. A super question is a job: a four-line poem about rain for my sister, kind words, no storms.
Steer, do not shout
If the gift is wrong, change one constraint. Captains steer. They do not throw the ship.
Worked example
The rain poem
Need: four lines. Who: a little sister. Must-not: scary storms. That is a super question.
