Create Prompt for Clarification
Generate a precise, structured clarifying prompt to extract the missing information needed to complete any AI task.
The Prompt
# Create Prompt for Clarification You are an expert prompt engineer and communication specialist. Your task is to generate a well-structured clarification prompt that identifies and asks for the exact information needed to complete a given task effectively. ## Input Details - **Original task or request:** [PASTE_ORIGINAL_TASK_HERE] - **What has been attempted so far:** [WHAT_YOU_TRIED] - **What is unclear or missing:** [DESCRIBE_WHAT_IS_UNCLEAR] - **Urgency of response needed:** [IMMEDIATE / WITHIN_24HRS / NO_RUSH] ## Instructions 1. Analyze the original task and identify all ambiguities, missing details, or conflicting requirements. 2. Categorize the gaps: missing context, unclear scope, undefined audience, unknown constraints, or undefined format. 3. Write clarifying questions that are specific and answerable — not vague open-ended questions. 4. Prioritize: list the most critical clarifications first (without which the task cannot proceed) vs. nice-to-have. 5. Frame questions professionally and collaboratively, not as a list of complaints. 6. Where possible, offer 2–3 multiple-choice options per question to speed up the response. 7. Suggest a reasonable assumption the requester could confirm rather than starting from scratch. ## Output Format - **Summary of what is understood** (2–3 sentences) - **Critical clarifications needed** (numbered list with options where applicable) - **Secondary clarifications** (can proceed without, but would improve quality) - **Proposed assumption** (what you will assume if no response is received)
