  "textContent": "Thanks, Larisa — that makes sense.\n\nI’m not focusing on one specific domain right now. My original question was more general: when are long structured prompts better, and when is interactive iterative prompting better?\n\nAfter reading the replies, my takeaway is that a hybrid approach seems best: interactive prompting for upstream exploration and clarification, and structured templates for downstream execution and consistency.\n\nThat answers my question pretty well, so I’ll mark the topic as solved. Thanks!",
