PRODUCTION SCENARIO
A game studio uses one prompt to translate a line of dialogue, adapt its cultural references for the local market, and fit it inside a strict character limit. Across 40,000 lines the results are inconsistent, and the team cannot tell which of the three requirements a bad line failed.

Answer: Chain the prompts so each step runs in sequence and feeds the next one
Google recommends breaking a task made of multiple sequential steps into subtasks and chaining them, with each prompt's output becoming the next one's input, because smaller prompts improve controllability, debugging and accuracy. More examples leave one overloaded prompt in place, top-P widens phrasing choices rather than separating the steps, and system instructions set behaviour without splitting the work.
