Frameworks & Strategy

R = Role · T = Task · F = Format

This simple framework works well for general prompting in any scenario.

Template: "Act like a [role]. Can you [insert task] in [format] format?"

Example: Act like a chef who has 30 years of experience in cooking. Can you give me a weekly plan with the purpose of losing weight in TABLE format? Give me a shopping list at the end in text format.

This method improves an LLM's reasoning by going step-by-step.

Good for:

• Analytical tasks
• Decision making
• Problem solving

Simply add "Let's think step by step" at the end of your prompt.

R = Role · I = Instructions · S = Steps · E = End Goal · N = Narrowing (Constraints)

Good for:

• Writing tasks with specific constraints (e.g., blog posts)
• Tasks with clear guidelines (e.g., business plans)

Example: Role: You are a business strategist with expertise in integrating Automation. Main Task: Write an in-depth X post about automation in modern business. Steps: 1. Start with a simple introduction... 2. Proceed with two main sections... 3. End with a conclusion. Goal: Inform people on why automation is important. Constraints: No hashtags, no emojis, max 500 words.

R = Role · O = Objective · D = Details · E = Examples · S = Sense Check

Good for:

• When you have examples similar to your desired output

Example: R: You are a seasoned copywriter specializing in crafting viral tweets. O: Write a tweet that aims to go viral on the topic of discipline. D: Very concise, use powerful language, make it relatable. E: "Discipline isn't just a one-time act; it's a lifetime commitment to excellence." S: Do you understand the objective and guidelines?

A prompt that uses recursion to create increasingly better outputs.

Good for:

• Summaries
• Improving your favorite prompts
• Generating usable long-form content via recursion

The technique involves generating entity-dense summaries of identical length, each iteration adding missing entities while maintaining the same word count. Each summary becomes denser and more self-contained.
