How to use a collection
Work through the steps in order. Each prompt is a separate persona, so paste them one at a time into the same chat or into five separate ones — either works, but do not paste two at once: they will compete for the same instructions.
The order matters more than the individual prompts. Step 1 produces the input step 2 needs, and skipping ahead usually means answering a question you have not collected the facts for yet.
