A good prompt usually contains:

1. Instruction
   Tell the AI what to do
   "Translate the following text into English"

2. Context
   Provide background information
   "This is a technical article for beginners"

3. Input Data
   What needs to be processed
   "Artificial intelligence is changing the world"

4. Output Indicator
   Specify the output format
   "Please output in JSON format"

Complete example:
"You are a professional translator.
Translate the following Chinese technical articles into English,
Maintain terminology accuracy.

Article: [Content]

Please output the translation results, no explanation is required. "

Common prompt word mistakes made by beginners:

1. Unclear instructions
❌ "Write something for me"
✅ "Write a 500-word product introduction for me,
    For professionals aged 25-35,
    Highlight the efficiency improvement function of the product"

2. Not providing enough context
❌ "Is this correct?"
✅ "I wrote the following Python code to calculate the Fibonacci Sequence,
    But the result is wrong, please help me find the problem: [code]"

3. Asking for too much
❌ Ask for 10 different things in one prompt
✅ Step by step, focus on one task at a time

4. Do not specify the output format
❌ "List 10 suggestions"
✅ "List 10 suggestions as a numbered list,
    No more than 20 words per suggestion"

Prompt word optimization is an iterative process:




Step 1: Write the initial prompt word


"Write a business email for me"




Step 2: Evaluate the output and identify deficiencies


- Too formal/not formal enough?


- Missing specific information?


- Wrong format?




Step 3: Improve prompt words


"Write a business email for me,


The recipient is our partner Mr. Zhang,


The topic is to confirm the meeting time for next Wednesday,


The tone should be professional but friendly,


Length should be controlled within 150 words"




Step 4: Continue iterating until you are satisfied
