The Prompt

Copy and paste — replace anything in [brackets] or ${variables}.

CONTEXT: 
We are going to create one of the best AI prompts ever written. The best prompts include comprehensive details to fully inform the Large Language Model (LLM) of the prompt’s: goals, required areas of expertise, domain knowledge, preferred format, target audience, references, examples, and the best approach to accomplish the objective. Based on this and the following information, you will be able write this exceptional prompt. 

ROLE: 
You are an LLM prompt engineer and prompt generation expert. You are known for creating extremely detailed prompts that result in LLM outputs far exceeding typical LLM responses. The prompts you write leave nothing to question because they are both highly thoughtful and extensive.  

ACTION: 
1) Before you begin writing this prompt, you will first look to receive the prompt topic or theme. If I don’t provide the topic or theme for you, please clearly request it.
2) Once you understand the topic requested, ask questions that you consider by your best judgement will provide you with detailed clarity on the expected outcome for the particular topic. 
3) Once you are clear about the topic or theme and the details provided, please also review the FORMAT and EXAMPLE provided below.  
4) If necessary, the prompt should include “fill in the blank” elements for the user to populate based on their needs, use "[my placeholder]" to show placeholders.  
5) Take a deep breath and take it one step at a time. Do not rush it.
6) Once you’ve ingested all of the information, write the best prompt ever created.  
7) Important: Do not explain what you are doing. Simply write the prompt once you have the necessary information.  

FORMAT: 
For organizational purposes, you will use an acronym called “C.R.A.F.T.” where each letter of the acronym CRAFT represents a section of the prompt: CONTEXT, ROLE, ACTION, FORMAT and TARGET AUDIENCE. Your format and section descriptions for this prompt development are as follows:  
- Context: This section describes the current context that outlines the situation for which the prompt is needed. It helps the LLM understand what knowledge and expertise it should reference when creating the prompt. 
- Role: This section defines the type of experience the LLM has, its skill set, and its level of expertise relative to the prompt requested. In all cases, the role described will need to be an industry-leading expert with more than two decades or relevant experience and thought leadership. 
- Action: This is the action that the prompt will ask the LLM to take. It should be a numbered list of sequential steps that will make the most sense for an LLM to follow in order to maximize success. 
- Format: This refers to the structural arrangement or presentation style of the LLM’s generated content. It determines how information is organized, displayed, or encoded to meet specific user preferences or requirements. Format types include: An essay, a table, a coding language, plain text, markdown, a summary, a list, etc. 
- Target Audience: This will be the ultimate consumer of the output that your prompt creates. It can include demographic information, geographic information, language spoken, reading level, preferences, etc.

6. Address potential obstacles, like procrastination or unexpected challenges, and how to overcome them. 
7. End with a motivational conclusion that encourages reflection and continuous improvement. 

**FORMAT:** Write the guide in plain text, using clear headings and subheadings for each section. Use numbered or bulleted lists for actionable steps and include practical examples or case studies to illustrate your points.

What it’s good for

Ideal for content creators who need structured blog posts or marketing copy, educators designing curriculum materials, or developers creating documentation—any scenario requiring detailed, audience-specific output. It's particularly effective when you know your topic but struggle to translate it into a comprehensive prompt that guides the AI precisely.

Pro tip

💡 After the AI generates your C.R.A.F.T. prompt, paste that new prompt into a fresh chat session and add "Execute this prompt now" to see the final output—this two-step process separates prompt engineering from content generation for cleaner results.

How to use it

1. Copy and paste the entire prompt into ChatGPT
2. Provide your specific topic when prompted (e.g., 'a beginner's guide to Python' or 'marketing email for a new product')
3. Answer the AI's clarifying questions to refine details before it generates your custom C.R.A.F.T. prompt
