Guide

The prompt formula.

A good prompt is not a random sentence. It is a short brief with clear steps: role, goal, context, input, constraints, format, and quality check.

Use this order

Build the prompt step by step.

Fill only the parts you need. The goal is not a long prompt; the goal is to remove guessing.

Step 1

Role

Who should the AI act as? Example: senior editor, contract reviewer, SEO strategist, Python developer.

Step 2

Goal

What should it produce? Example: rewrite, compare, summarize, critique, plan, calculate, debug.

Step 3

Context

Who is the audience, what happened, what matters, and what should the AI know before answering?

Step 4

Input

Paste the source text, notes, table, transcript, code, document, or facts the answer must use.

Step 5

Rules

Set limits: length, tone, words to avoid, facts to preserve, compliance rules, and assumptions.

Step 6

Format

Tell it what the final answer should look like: bullets, table, email, JSON, memo, checklist, outline.

Step 7

Check

Ask it to find missing context, weak assumptions, unclear wording, and unsupported claims.

Step 8

Improve

Ask for a stronger final version after the check, not just the first draft.
