The article includes the entire prompt OP used in the first section. I think it is pretty clear.

According to TFA, Fable 5.2 was starting with a preexisting codebase generated with CC (via Fable 5 and Opus 4.8) back in June. The author describes that version of the game as working, but not fun.
The Fable 5.2 prompt then starts with:
> I want you to help me finish this game.
I don't think you can really describe this as "one-shot" when there's already a fully working codebase? That's a stretch.
It's still impressive, mind you!

That seems less like an issue of the term having multiple meanings and more an issue of people misusing the term frequently.
People misuse the term "literally" frequently, for example, but that doesn't change the meaning of the word.
It can either mean: 1 prompt, or it can mean a prompt with 1 example (in which case zero-shot means 1 prompt with 0 examples).
It also has different meanings in other contexts.
