Prompt-Strengthening Techniques

  • Upgrade Soft Verbs: "Reflect on..." → "List 3 reflections and rank them."
  • Use Roles: "You are a cautious thinker. Rank 3 risks."
  • Role Prompt Hack: "You are a prompt engineer. Evaluate compliance."
  • Instruction Spotlighting: Use brackets: "Please [Generate] a summary."
  • Stepwise Refinement: Start with hard command, then refine (generate → bullet → analyze).
  • Audience Framing: Vary tone: explain to a 10-year-old vs. PhD.
  • Chained Workflow: Idea → Evaluate → Improve.
