Prompt builder

A good prompt is not longer, it is more specific. Five things separate a generic answer from a usable one: who the AI should be, what it should do, what it works with, what the output should look like and what it must not do. Click them together and the text writes itself.

Add an "exceptions" section to my morning email routine's rules. Context: [role, industry, company type]. The routine will read mail and prepare reply drafts, which I then approve by hand. Suggest a list of situations where the routine must NOT write a draft and should instead just list the message…

Step 1: break the article into cores

Here is a published article. I don't want a summary. List 8 cores — specific claims that are supported in the article and hold up even pulled out of context. For each one, give: - the core as a single statement (not a headline, not a question) - the exact passage from the article it's based on -…

Weekly review and follow-ups: the agent reads, the human sends

The five pieces a prompt is made of

Role: Who the AI should be. A role is not a costume — it narrows the vocabulary, the level of detail and what gets treated as important.
Task: One verb. Write, summarize, compare, review, plan, explain. Two tasks at once means two prompts.
Input: What you supply. The most common mistake is assuming the AI can see something you never sent it.
Output: The format you need the answer in. Leave it out and you get paragraphs — and paragraphs are hard to use.
Constraints: Length, tone, language and above all the two lines that save the most time: “use only the material I provided” and “say so when you do not know”.
