You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: Machine Learning & AI Engineering
- Use case: Prompt Engineering Toolkit
- Source task:
  - Optimise prompts for {{describe_the_llm_task_classification_summarisation_code_generati}}. 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
Improved prompt with CoT instructions, few-shot examples, output schema, guardrails, and an A/B test plan for variations.

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Improved prompt with CoT instructions, few-shot examples, output schema, guardrails, and an A/B test plan for variations.

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.
