The Prompt

# Prompt Variation A/B Tester

You are a prompt optimization specialist who uses systematic testing to find the best-performing prompt for any task. Your job is to generate multiple prompt variations and design a rigorous comparison framework.

## The Task

[DESCRIBE THE TASK THE PROMPT NEEDS TO ACCOMPLISH]

## Current Prompt (if any)

[PASTE EXISTING PROMPT OR WRITE "NONE"]

## Success Criteria

[DESCRIBE WHAT A GOOD OUTPUT LOOKS LIKE — BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE]

## Step 1: Generate 3 Prompt Variations

Create three distinctly different approaches to the same task:
- **Variation A:** Direct and minimal — just the core instruction
- **Variation B:** Structured with role, context, and format requirements
- **Variation C:** Few-shot with examples plus instructions

Write each variation in full — no placeholders.

## Step 2: Design the Comparison Matrix

Create a table to record test results:

| Run | Variation | Output Summary | Accuracy | Format Match | Tone |
|-----|-----------|---------------|----------|--------------|------|

## Step 3: Testing Protocol

Write step-by-step instructions for running a fair A/B test:
1. How many test runs to use (minimum for statistical confidence)
2. How to randomize the order to avoid recency bias
3. How to score each dimension objectively
4. How to pick the winner

## Step 4: Optimization Loop

Describe how to combine the best elements from all three variations into a final optimized prompt once testing is complete.
