A graded user skill, observed in experienced operators, of rapidly recognizing recurring AI-interaction patterns and selecting effective prompting strategies with little deliberation, distinguishing them from novices.
Operationalized via the speed and success with which a user formulates an effective prompt for a familiar task type, rated as pattern-recognition proficiency and compared across experience levels.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Between-groups comparison: median prompt-formulation latency (seconds to first effective prompt) and task-success rate for experienced vs. novice users on matched tasks; the group difference could be reported with an effect size.
