Prompt

Do you sometimes struggle to make a prompt that does what you want it to do? This excellent prompt by Mark Mason should help solve that. It establishes a structured and iterative process for creating an optimal prompt for chatGPT using a collaborative, multi-step approach. Works best with ChatGPT 4.

Guide

OpenAI released an official prompting guide last week, with 6 main approaches you can take to improve your prompts, heres a very brief summary but if you missed it.

Provide Clear Instructions

Be as explicit as possible when posing questions or tasks to the model. Give concrete examples, specify desired length and format of responses, and break down complex prompts into simpler steps.

Leverage Reference Materials

Supply articles, documents, or websites for the model to cite in its responses. This grounds the model in factual information rather than letting it generate made-up answers.

Decompose Complex Problems

Break down complicated tasks into discrete sub-steps so the model isn't overwhelmed. For long conversations, regularly summarise previous dialogue.

Allow Time for Reasoning

Instruct the model to think through problems step-by-step rather than jumping to conclusions. Ask follow-up questions to surface missed details.

Integrate External Tools

Have the model write and execute code for accurate math/calculations. Use embeddings-based search to retrieve relevant knowledge sources.

Test Systematically

Create comprehensive test suites covering diverse use cases. Evaluate outputs algorithmically against gold-standard reference answers where possible.
