Effective Prompt Patterns

Role Specification

Define the model's role in your prompt for better results. Use personas like "scientific advisor" or "copywriter" to shape outputs.

{`"Act as a technical writer specializing in cybersecurity documentation. Explain the following concept..."`}

Example Inputs

Include examples in your prompts to clarify what you want. Show input/output pairs to guide the model's understanding.

{`Given these two examples of product descriptions, rewrite the following text in the same style:"`}

Step-by-Step

Break down complex tasks into steps. Ask the model to reason through a problem before providing the solution.

{`Explain how to approach this problem in 3 logical steps, then provide the solution.`}

Constraints

Add constraints to focus results. Specify requirements like word count, format, or technical depth.

{`Write a 200-word summary in bullet points, using technical terms where appropriate.`}
