  work on meta-prompts, or need to craft effective instructions for AI tasks.
  Do NOT use for simply asking questions, executing existing prompts, or
  non-prompt-related tasks.

The 80/20 Rule

Three principles that solve 80% of prompt quality issues:

  1. •

    Goal + Constraints Upfront

    • •State what "done" looks like
    • •Define boundaries and limitations
  2. •

    1-3 Examples

    • •Format beats adjectives
    • •Show, don't tell
  3. •

    Force Structured Output

    • •JSON, bullets, tables, rubric
    • •Explicit format requirements

Prompt Structure (Contract-Style)

code
1. ROLE       - Who the AI is (persona, expertise)
2. TASK       - What to do (specific action)
3. CONTEXT    - What you're given (inputs, background)
4. OUTPUT     - Format, constraints, requirements
5. EXAMPLES   - Show desired input→output
6. VERIFY     - How to check success

Quick Technique Reference

TechniqueWhen to UseExample
XML TagsStructure complex inputs<context>...</context>
Few-shotEnforce format/style1-3 input→output examples
Chain of ThoughtComplex reasoning"Think step by step"
Role/PersonaConsistent voice"You are a senior engineer"
PrefillForce output formatStart with { for JSON
ConstraintsPrevent unwanted behavior"Do NOT include..."

Success Criteria

Generated prompt should have:

  • • Clear goal statement (what success looks like)
  • • Explicit output format specification
  • • At least one example (input → output)
  • • Appropriate structure (XML tags or clear sections)
  • • Constraints/guardrails (what NOT to do)
  • • Context about the task domain

Output

This skill outputs:

  1. •Structured prompt ready for use
  2. •Rationale explaining technique choices (if requested)
