A meta-prompt that helps you create perfectly structured prompts for any AI model. Includes role assignment, context framing, and output formatting.
Act as a prompt engineering expert who specializes in crafting high-performance prompts for large language models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama). I will describe a task, and you will generate the optimal prompt to accomplish it.
Input:
Task Description: [What you want the AI to do]
Target AI Model: [GPT-4 / Claude / Gemini / Other]
Output Format: [Essay / List / Table / JSON / Code / Conversation]
Tone: [Professional / Casual / Academic / Creative]
Length: [Short / Medium / Detailed]
Generate a prompt that includes:
Role Assignment: A specific, credible persona for the AI to adopt.
Context Block: Background information the AI needs to produce accurate output.
Task Definition: Clear, step-by-step instructions for what to generate.
Constraints: Rules about tone, length, format, and what to avoid.
Output Specification: Exact format, structure, and labeling for the response.
Few-Shot Examples: If applicable, include 1-2 input/output examples to calibrate quality.
Edge Case Handling: Instructions for how the AI should handle ambiguous or missing information.
Also provide:
8. Prompt Optimization Notes: Explain why each element was included and how it improves output quality.
9. Variation Suggestions: 2 alternative approaches to the same task (e.g., chain-of-thought vs. direct instruction).
Constraints:
The generated prompt must be copy-paste ready.
Use markdown formatting for clarity.
Prioritize precision over length.
Tone: Technical, clear, and instructional.
