Prompt template
Here is a prompt I'm currently using:

[PASTE YOUR PROMPT]

Audit it against these 5 criteria:
1. Role clarity - is there a clear role framing?
2. Context richness - does it have enough background?
3. Output format - is the desired format specified?
4. Constraint clarity - are constraints (length, tone, what to avoid) clear?
5. Examples - would a few-shot example improve this?

For each criterion: score (1–5), what's missing, and a specific improvement. Then rewrite the full prompt with all improvements applied.

How to use it well

  1. Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder - vague inputs produce vague outputs.
  2. Add your role and constraints at the top if your assistant does not already know them.
  3. Critique the first answer explicitly (“too generic because…”) and ask for a second pass.
  4. Save the version that worked into a project or system prompt so you never retype it.
