Whether you use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, the same principles produce better answers. Think of prompting as clear communication, not magic words.
A reliable prompt formula
- Context: explain the situation and goal.
- Role: tell the AI who it should act as.
- Task: state exactly what you want done.
- Format: describe the output shape you expect.
- Refine: iterate with feedback until it’s right.
💡 Quick tip: Keep a swipe file of prompts that consistently work for you.
