Domain 1Cowork Foundations & Agentic Architecture
Outcome-Oriented Prompting
TL;DR
A delegation style where you describe the desired end-state rather than the individual steps.
Definition
A delegation style where you describe the desired end-state rather than the individual steps. For example, "Organise all files in this directory into subfolders by year and month" rather than "First open file A, then look for X, then copy it to Y." Cowork is designed to figure out the path — you describe the destination.
Exam Context
Virtually every prompt-comparison question in Domain 1 tests this concept. The correct answer is almost always the prompt that describes what "done" looks like rather than prescribing a sequence of actions.
