Writing Good Definitions Comes Down to One Basic Rule (Bertrand Meyer) (acm.org)

Meyer notes after stating the first 6 rules: "Disclosure: these particular six qualities are part of the answer I got from ChatGPT to a request I made, and refined through a number of prompt iterations, to tell me what a good technical definition should look like. I think they are all good, and as can be expected from an LLM answer, they reflect widely held views (in the sources that ChatGPT consulted to build its answer); but they are all specific and can be deduced from the Basic Rule (which, of course, did not originate with any tool)."
