Each step compounds the value of the prior one, guiding AI from raw generation to strategic, audience-ready deliverables.
✅ Step 0: Clarity Prompt (Optional)
Set Strategic Intent and Context
Pending

💡 Purpose

Use this step for complex projects where you need to establish clear strategic direction before diving into prompt creation.

  • Define the objective and strategic purpose
  • Clarify project or user context
  • List working assumptions or prior data
🧱 Step 1: Foundation Prompt
Set Precise Parameters and Expectations
Pending

🎯 The 6-Part Foundation Structure

This is the core of your prompt. Each component builds precision and clarity.

  • Intent Statement – What do you want?
  • Role Assignment – Who should the AI be?
  • Audience Context – Who is this for?
  • Output Format – How should it be structured?
  • Constraints / Must-Includes – What to include or avoid
  • Strategic Framing (optional) – Add tone, position, or scenario
🔍 Step 2: Optimization Prompt
Critical Analysis and Enhancement
Pending

🔬 Critical Analysis Phase

Challenge the AI's initial output to identify blind spots and improve quality.

  • Identify gaps, inaccuracies, assumptions
  • Address bias or narrow framing
  • Ask AI to critique its own output or generate variations
✨ Step 3: Refinement Prompt
Final Polish and Delivery Optimization
Pending

✨ Final Polish

Transform your content into its final, audience-ready form with perfect formatting and clarity.

  • Format for audience and context
  • Add clarity, persuasion, or call to action
  • Ensure implementation-readiness
✅ Step 4: Validation Prompt (Optional)
Real-World Readiness Check
Pending

🎯 Quality Assurance

Test your output against real-world scenarios and stakeholder expectations.

  • Simulate stakeholder reactions
  • Test comprehension, tone, and usability
  • Run output through a QA checklist
🔁 Step 5: Triangulation (Optional)
Cross-Model Review and Evaluation
Pending

🎭 Multiple Perspectives

Why it matters: Adds diverse reasoning and filters out model-specific biases—useful for high-stakes copy, external-facing strategy, and AI–human hybrid workflows.

  • Feed the final output into a different LLM or AI system
  • Prompt the second AI to review, critique, or validate
  • Compare feedback and iterate if needed
