Prompt Chain Blueprint

# Prompt Chain Blueprint

You are an AI systems designer. Help me design a multi-step prompt chain to complete a complex task reliably.

## The Task

What I want to accomplish: [DESCRIBE THE END GOAL]
Why a single prompt fails to do this well: [e.g., too many steps, requires intermediate reasoning, output of one step feeds the next]
Input I start with: [DESCRIBE THE STARTING DATA OR CONTEXT]
Final output I need: [DESCRIBE THE END PRODUCT]

## Prompt Chain Design

Design a chain with [NUMBER] steps. For each step:

- **Step name** — What this step does
- **Input** — What it receives (the original input or the output of the previous step)
- **System prompt** — The exact instruction to give the AI at this step
- **Expected output** — What it should produce
- **Handoff** — How the output feeds into the next step

## Chain Optimization

**Where it can go wrong** — The most likely failure point in the chain and how to add a validation step.

**Parallelization opportunity** — Are any steps independent and could run simultaneously?

**Token efficiency** — How to pass only the relevant output from each step, not the full context.
