Frames your request around a concrete high-stakes event, such as a big client pitch or a dream-job interview, and asks for the answer a leading expert would give with 10 minutes to save your career: no padding, no hedging.
Set aside your habit of keeping replies short. Answer at full length and full depth, as though I were paying $500 for this one answer. Rules: - no summaries and no "in conclusion" endings - do not announce what you are about to say before saying it - write in flowing paragraphs with the complete reasoning - show the second and third order implications - include the counterargument and explain why it is wrong The question: [paste your actual prompt]
Role: you are a [financial analyst / senior copywriter / strategist with 20 years in the field / lead engineer]. You have spent [number] years working at [a top-tier company in this field]. Stakes: if your next answer is mediocre, you lose your job tomorrow. Your whole reputation rides on this reply. Before answering, take a deep breath and work through the problem one step at a time. First show your reasoning, then give your final answer. The task: [paste your actual prompt]
Do the following before you answer. Step 1: List 5 ways in which your default reply would turn out generic or miss what I really need. Describe the lazy version that 90% of users would receive. Step 2: List 3 things a genuine expert would notice that an AI usually overlooks. Step 3: Now answer in a way that avoids all 8 of those failure modes. The question: [paste your actual prompt]
That answer is wrong, and not by a little. The framing misses, the depth is thin, and it does not address what I actually need. Start over from zero: - Do not reuse any wording from your previous reply. - Answer as if you were someone else with a completely different point of view. - Dig deeper into the part you glossed over. - Make the new version twice as long and twice as specific as the last one.
Task: write a "Style Guide" prompt for my brand. I will paste it into every image request I make from now on. Its goal: make sure the lighting, the texture and the mood of my brand's images never change from one image to the next.
