The Golden Prompt Blueprint
Five simple lines that make almost any AI conversation useful.
1. GOAL
Help me [one specific thing].
One task per conversation.
2. CONTEXT
Here's my situation: [one or two sentences].
AI helps better when it knows who it's helping.
3. INSTRUCTIONS
Ask me clarifying questions first, and use plain language — no jargon.
4. FORMAT
Give me the result as a [letter / list / plan / table / step-by-step].
5. CHECK
Tell me what I should double-check before I use this.
AI can be wrong. This line keeps you in charge.
Example
Help me write a thank-you note to my neighbor. Here's my situation: she watered my garden for two weeks while I was away. Ask me clarifying questions first and use plain language. Give me the result as a short letter. Tell me what I should double-check before I send it.
