Prompt Patterns

AI gives generic responses that lack domain expertise or appropriate tone.

Output lacks structure and comes back as an unorganized wall of text.

Complex tasks need comprehensive instructions that cover role, context, format, constraints, and examples all at once.

Output format is unpredictable and you need it to match a specific structure exactly.

AI jumps to conclusions on complex problems without showing how it got there.

You need to explore a topic deeply but direct answers feel shallow or one-sided.

Complex problems have multiple valid approaches and picking the wrong one wastes significant effort.

You need to stress-test an idea, plan, or argument before committing to it.

First drafts are never good enough, but you do not know how to guide revisions.

You need quality assurance on AI output but do not have a human reviewer available.

You need diverse viewpoints on a problem but only have access to a single AI.

Output is too generic, unfocused, or not tailored to your specific needs.
