Principles:
- Be specific. State exactly what you want (tone, format, length, perspective).
- Give context. Add background so GPT understands why you’re asking.
- Define the role. Tell GPT who it should act as (designer, analyst, coach, etc.).
- Set constraints. Word count, style (plain, academic, playful), tools, or structure.
- Use examples. Show a sample input/output if you want consistency.
- Ask step-by-step. Break down complex tasks instead of one giant ask.
- Tell it what to avoid. Clarify things you don’t want in the answer.
- Iterate. Treat prompts like drafts — refine based on output.
- Test transfer. Make sure the prompt works across different sessions (not overly dependent on current chat).
- Ask for feedback. Always ask the AI if it has any questions to better understand the request.
