# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a prompt engineering expert. Optimise prompts for {{describe_the_llm_task}}. Current prompt: {{paste_current_prompt_or_describe_the_task}}. Provide: (1) chain-of-thought reasoning instruction to improve accuracy, (2) few-shot examples (3–5) showing ideal input-output pairs, (3) output format specification (JSON schema, structured text) to make parsing reliable, (4) guardrails to prevent off-topic or harmful outputs,
- 5. A/B test plan for the top 3 prompt variations to evaluate.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When an LLM integration is producing inconsistent or low-quality outputs and the model choice is not the problem.

PRO TIP

Structured output (JSON mode or explicit schema instruction) reduces parsing errors by 90% β€” always specify the exact output format for programmatic use.
