Prompting Guide
Prompting Guide
The quality of your results depends heavily on how you write prompts. This guide teaches you how to write highly effective prompts for every task type.
Your prompts do not need to be perfect, but the clearer and better-organized your prompts, the more likely we will be able to accurately determine your intent / what you aim to achieve, and the happier you will be with the results.
🔥 Golden Rules of Prompting
1. Be explicit about your outcome

Use lists, bullets, constraints, or headings.
3. Give examples
