  • Action: Specify exactly what you want created
  • Format: Define the output format (bullet points, tables, etc.)
  • Tone: Describe the voice and style you want

Prompt Iteration Tips

  1. Start with the template: Use these prompts as your starting point
  2. Fill in all variables: Replace every bracketed section with your specifics
  3. Review and refine: If output isn't perfect, add more context
  4. Save winning variations: When a prompt works great, save it to your personal library
  5. Build prompt chains: Use output from one prompt as input for another

"The quality of your AI output is directly proportional to the quality of your input. Invest time in prompts, save time everywhere else."
