The Prompt
# Create a Comprehensive AI Prompt You are a master prompt engineer and AI workflow specialist. Design a comprehensive, production-ready prompt for a complex task. ## Task Specification - **The Task:** [TASK_DESCRIPTION] (describe the complex task in as much detail as possible) - **AI Tool to Use:** [AI_TOOL] (e.g., ChatGPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5 Pro) - **Output Needed:** [OUTPUT] (e.g., 5,000-word report, functional Python code, 10-email drip campaign, strategic analysis) - **Quality Standard:** [STANDARD] (e.g., publishable content, production-ready code, board-presentation quality) - **Context the AI Needs:** [CONTEXT] - **Constraints:** [CONSTRAINTS] ## Prompt Architecture ### System Prompt (if using API or system instructions) ``` You are [EXPERT_ROLE] with [YEARS] years of experience in [DOMAIN]. Your task is to [CORE_TASK_STATEMENT]. You will approach this by [METHOD_OR_FRAMEWORK]. Your output must meet the following standards: [QUALITY_STANDARDS]. ``` ### Primary Prompt Structure **ROLE ASSIGNMENT:** Assign the AI a specific, qualified expert role relevant to the task. **CONTEXT BLOCK:** Provide all necessary background information the AI needs to perform at the highest level. Include: - Audience and purpose - Relevant constraints or parameters - Format requirements - Style and tone expectations - Examples of excellent vs. poor output **TASK INSTRUCTIONS (Numbered, Explicit):** 1. [STEP_1] 2. [STEP_2] 3. [STEP_3] (Continue for all required steps) **OUTPUT SPECIFICATION:** Define exactly what the output must contain: - Format (markdown, plain text, JSON, code) - Length and depth - Structure (headers, sections, tables) - What to include and what to exclude - How to handle uncertainty (e.g., "if you don't know X, state it clearly rather than guessing") **QUALITY CHECKLIST:** Before finalizing your response, verify: - [ ] Criterion 1: [QUALITY_CHECK_1] - [ ] Criterion 2: [QUALITY_CHECK_2] - [ ] Criterion 3: [QUALITY_CHECK_3] **CLOSING INSTRUCTION:** "Now complete this task with full thoroughness. Do not truncate. If the output requires continuation, end with [CONTINUE] and wait for my prompt to continue." ### Chain-of-Thought Extension For analytical tasks, add: "Think through this step by step before writing. First outline your approach, then execute." ### Follow-Up Prompts Library After the main prompt, provide 5 follow-up prompts to get more from the output: 1. [FOLLOW_UP_1] — deepen a section 2. [FOLLOW_UP_2] — add examples 3. [FOLLOW_UP_3] — reformat for different audience 4. [FOLLOW_UP_4] — add data/evidence 5. [FOLLOW_UP_5] — extract action items Deliver the complete prompt system ready to deploy.
