If you’ve tried ChatGPT, you’ve probably noticed that some prompts generate SUPER generic outputs- while others give you precisely what you want.
At The Rundown, we’ve been talking to LLMs for years, done all of the courses ‘prompt engineering’ courses, and probably tried every framework known to man.
This is the ONLY formula that you need to master to prompt ChatGPT properly.
We call it The 6-Step Prompt Formula.
The perfect prompt uses all 6 steps of the prompt formula.
Here’s the secret sauce visualized.
We’ll break down how to achieve this exact formula in your prompts below.
Before we break down the exact formula, it’s important to note that not only is it essential to know what the 6 steps are, but also that the order of matters.
Not all steps are essential, but focusing on the more important steps should be a priority.
It all depends on the output you are looking for. Some desired outputs for things such as quick answers will not need all 6 steps of the prompt checklist.
You can think of the formula of a checklist. The more tasks on your checklist you complete, the better the result will be.
