PRACTICAL GUIDE
What to consider
Use this guide as a starting framework. Requirements, rules and opportunities can change, so verify important current information with the relevant official or authoritative source.
1. Start with the outcomeState exactly what you want the AI to produce: an explanation, plan, table, email, code, comparison or another defined result.
2. Give the contextInclude the facts, audience, background, examples and constraints that materially affect the answer.
3. Specify the formatTell the AI how you want the result organized—for example, headings, bullet points, a table, steps or a checklist.
4. Add constraintsMention language, length, tone, deadline, exclusions or other boundaries when they matter.
5. Review the resultA good prompt improves consistency, but important facts should still be checked, especially for high-stakes decisions.
