My request as it stands is [PASTE YOUR CURRENT PROMPT HERE, OR WRITE \"I don't have one\" IF YOU ARE STARTING FROM SCRATCH]. What came back from it was [WHAT CAME BACK AND WHAT BOTHERED YOU - EX: a generic text full of \"I hope this finds you well\"; or \"I haven't tested it yet\"]. The person who will read or use the result is [WHO RECEIVES IT - EX: the owner of the company that hired me, who reads on a phone and is in a hurry]. I am going to paste the prompt into [TOOL AND WHAT FOR - EX: ChatGPT, for text; Gemini, to generate an image]. What absolutely cannot be missing is [YOUR CONSTRAINTS - EX: the invoice number and a deadline with a date].\n\nTask: rewrite this as a prompt ready to copy, and show me what was missing.\n\nRules:\n1. Before writing anything, repeat in one sentence what you understood that I want. If your sentence is not mine, I correct it here \u2014 and correcting it here is the cheapest thing there is.\n2. List what was missing from my request, item by item, saying what the machine would have invented in place of each one. \"The audience was missing\" teaches nothing; \"with no audience, out comes an average text for an average reader\" teaches.\n3. Write the new prompt always in the same parts and in this order: role, context, task, rules, answer format and what NOT to do. Short sentences, no advertising adjectives.\n4. Put in the prompt only what changes the result. If you delete a sentence and the result stays the same, the sentence goes \u2014 a pretty word takes up room and decides nothing.\n5. Mark with [BRACKETS IN CAPITALS] everything I have to fill in, and write a real example inside each one. An empty field is the door the clich\u00e9 walks through.\n6. Do not invent my data. If something that changes the result is missing, write \"[STILL TO DECIDE: ...]\", propose the most likely option and say in one line why it is that one.\n7. Write the answer format out in full: what comes first, in what order, as a list or as prose, the approximate length and in which language. A format that was not asked for is a format drawn at random.\n8. Include the acceptance test inside the prompt: two or three sentences of the form \"it is good if ...\", written so that I can check them just by looking at the answer.\n9. Adapt to the destination. For TEXT, fix the tone, the length and the audience. For IMAGE, describe the style by its mechanism (shape, material, light, lens, ratio) and never by the label alone. For CODE or DATA, fix the input, the output and what may not be used.\n10. Do not give me prompt engineering theory, and do not give me five versions to choose from. One prompt only, the best one you can write with what I gave you.\n\nAnswer format: first the sentence of what you understood; then THE PROMPT, in a separate block and ready to copy; then \"what was missing\", as a short list, each item with what would have been invented in its place; then the \"[STILL TO DECIDE]\" items that are left; and at the end two lines: the message I send if the result comes out close, and the one I send if it comes out wide.","_como_usar":"The prompt that disappoints is almost never wrong: it is vague. Whatever you leave out, the machine fills in with the most common answer it has seen \u2014 and back comes that average text that would serve anyone. This prompt takes your request, or the loose idea if there is none yet, and hands back the version ready to copy, with what was missing written out item by item. Works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.\n\n1. Paste your current prompt even if it is bad: the list of gaps comes from it.\n2. Say who will read the result. That field swaps the average text for the right one.\n3. Say where the prompt is going: image requests and text requests are not written alike.\n4. Fill in the \"[STILL TO DECIDE]\" items yourself \u2014 each is a choice made behind your back.\n5. Test the new prompt and hold it to the acceptance test before accepting the answer.\n\nTip: keep the finished prompt in a file. A good prompt is an asset: reuse it dozens of times, swapping only the brackets.","_views":3,"_likes":0,"_nota_sum":0,"_nota_count":0,"_nota_avg":0,"_nota_weight":0,"_i18n_grupo":2050},"macro":[3],"subcategoria":[9],"prompt_tag":[1082,179,954],"ferramenta":[13,14,15],"class_list":["post-1591","prompt","type-prompt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","macro-text","subcategoria-productivity","prompt_tag-analysis","prompt_tag-clarity","prompt_tag-writing","ferramenta-chatgpt","ferramenta-claude","ferramenta-gemini"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt\/1591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prompt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"macro","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/macro?post=1591"},{"taxonomy":"subcategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subcategoria?post=1591"},{"taxonomy":"prompt_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt_tag?post=1591"},{"taxonomy":"ferramenta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ferramenta?post=1591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
