Turn a vague request into a clear prompt

Strong prompts reduce ambiguity. Start by naming the role, task, relevant context, constraints and the exact shape of the answer you need.

What you’ll learn

  • State one measurable task
  • Provide only relevant context
  • Specify audience, tone and output format
  • Separate facts supplied by you from assumptions
