Practical Guide to AI Prompt Writing

This may seem easy‚ but it is extremely important in terms of saving your time․

The only thing they need to remember is that prompts are %90 of the get correct and fastest answers․

The following prompt guide is NOT a correct one․ The majority of prompt guides are incorrect․

This is actually the definitive guide to prompt engineering․ It gets posted every couple of weeks․ It's really complicated‚ has some great looking back story‚ and claims to be useful‚ but as soon as you try to use it you find it doesn't work․

For the last 2 years I've generated over 10‚000 AI Prompts‚ for AI Content‚ for clients and for AI Software Development․ This is the one that I use!

No one's saying that there's any theory․ It's a thought that no one can't talk about․

Please do note that the Clever Tricks are NOT AI Prompts․ They are descriptions! Clever trick doesn't describe - not one of the best of the AI prompts․

In short‚ act the way you would with an educated‚ but non-acquainted free lance‚ with little experience in your situation․ You'd tell them:

The object‚ people‚ place or event that the audience will be experiencing․

Outcomes or goals that you want to achieve․

The form in which you would like it to be displayed (as a table‚ as a list or as a vector)․

Anything that you refuse to or can't tolerate․ Anything that you can't or don't want to suffer․

• Any space that they require

That's a prompt․ Technical writing isn't more than good communications․

The helpfulness of a prompt with a cue consists of 4 parts․ Those are 4 characteristics which help a prompt to be helpful․

1․ It isn't a 'must do' but it is an important task․ (Optional) Understand how to use words to engage in an activity․

The AI's view is given to it and then modified in the course of the task․

As a senior UX designer‚ seeing a landing page is one thing․ Seeing this landing page is another․ Technical Reviews: A form of writing & analysis․

The difference can be seen below․

Weak: "Write me a landing page․"

Strong: "You are a conversion copywriter․ Write a hero section for a B2B SaaS"

tool targeting HR managers․

Goal: get them to book a demo․ Not:

"revolutionary"‚ "seamless"‚ or "cutting-edge"․

Same tool․ Same model․ Completely different output․

That is the how diffrence of prompt․

2․ Task

Be specific․ Produce a newspaper report‚ it's too general․ Create a 1000-word blog post of help and advice for freelance designers on how to improve their hourly-rate․ Suggest three ideas․

3․ Context

What info can you get the AI to give you? Little session can access to the AI models․ What they know is restricted‚ just to what is in the "conversation going․ Provide them with the necessities․

4․ Constraints

Which one of the following is NOT in the output?

Examples:

Make paragraphs․ Don't use bullet points․

• "Avoid corporate jargon"

• Each sentence has 20 words or fewer․

Will withstand most failure modes (conditions)․

Practical Examples

More than a productivity post‚ this is a productivity video on LinkedIn․

Overworking is a sin․ It can even be a sin that a lot of people don't have the decency to admit is a sin․ You can't work all the time․ This post by Lacks (other than the three hashtags he appends at the end‚ all of which use other capitalization) contains not a single occurrence of 'I' or a single question․ Audience: startup founders․

The Iteration Mindset

The first time you take a quiz‚ you will see a draft version․ Expect multiple drafts․

There is a possibility that the output was also a result of rewriting․

• Too vague? Include more constraints․

• Wrong tone? Specifically Identify - give an example

• If the question is missed‚ ask it again․

Common Mistakes

These involve repeating a question multiple times in succession‚ out of order‚ and making a decision about its response for each question․

Vagueness about format: Give me some ideas‚ gives a list․ Tell me three ideas one for each sentence; I can use them all․

Striking of first piece of nickel production․ The first is an initial starting point‚ it's starting of the process․ Follow or obey a person․

There's One Trick Trick for Prompts!

Perhaps a more unusual and dynamic style would be to try my best to ensure that my rewriting doesn't resemble the text I am rewriting․

This is a big change to the round․ No longer do you have to think about how to improve it‚ just tell the AI to take a look at their own‚ and check with them․ Prompting tools are a good way of finding out what is missing from a prompt․

I tried this recently․ After i received the draft‚ it was too generic‚

When I requested "What missed in my prompt to get answer?" Claude noted that I had not specified audience and length․ I repeated my prompt with two additional lines․ The next output was actually usable and better․ This saves more time than any prompt ı have seen․

The Bottom Line

Good prompting is well thought out‚ written out․ The more you can do to help someone give a "short" to someone‚ the more you can help encourage an AI․ Remember the issue is not communication‚ it's uncommunicative․

But what you shouldnt forget is that they are make a mistake every time‚ so dont forget to control․

Think of it like giving brief to freelancer․ The more specific you are upfront‚ the less back and forth you need․ The Freelancer will ask more questions to determine more details‚ but the AI won't․
