The Role-Task-Format Prompt Framework

Assign a Persona Start your prompt by giving the AI an identity. Instead of 'write a blog', say 'Act as a seasoned marketing manager with 10 years of experience in B2B tech'. This changes the tone of the response. ## Define the Task Be hyper-specific. Avoid 'write something about X'. Use 'Write an 800-word blog post explaining the top 3 benefits of cloud migration for small accounting firms'. ## Specify the Format Tell the AI how you want it to look. Add instructions like 'Use bullet points for lists, keep paragraphs under 3 sentences, and use a professional yet accessible tone'. ## Worked Example 'Act as a fitness coach. Create a 4-week strength programme for beginners. Present it as a table with columns for Week, Exercise, and Sets. Use a motivating, encouraging tone and ensure the exercises require only dumbbells.'
