Three-pass produce-attack-rewrite prompt
A structured prompt that forces AI to critique and improve its own answer in three distinct passes, producing significantly better output.
🤖 Works with: Any
The Prompt
Copy and paste — replace anything in [brackets].
Answer my question below in three passes. Do all three in one go.
Pass 1, the draft: answer it directly.
Pass 2, the critic: switch roles. You are now a sharp critic who thinks Pass 1 is mediocre. Attack it. What is weak, what is generic, what did it assume, what would a smarter person notice was missing.
Pass 3, the rewrite: using the critic's attack, write the version that survives it. Keep what held up, fix what didn't.
Show me all three so I can see what changed.
My question: [paste anything]What it’s good for
