Study Notes
The Magic Prompt Formula
- The Magic Prompt Formula is a simple prompt structure that consists of 5 key ingredients: Role, Action, Context, Examples, and Constraints + Formatting.
- This formula can be used to craft a myriad of useful prompts for various situations.
Role
- The first ingredient is the Role, which gives the AI a character or a persona.
- The Role can be a General role or a Specific Person.
- Examples of Roles include:
- Creative writing coach
- Professional writing coach
- Successful Saas entrepreneur
- Scientist and sleep expert (e.g., Andrew Huberman)
- Highly creative award-winning copywriter
Action
- The second ingredient is the Action, which describes what you want the AI to do for you.
- The Action can be:
- A single action
- Multiple actions laid out in step-by-step instructions
- Written as a single sentence or multiple sentences
- Examples of Actions include:
- Write
- Create
- Summarize
- Edit
- Critique
- Explain
Context
- The third ingredient is Context, which provides additional information to help the AI understand the task and produce specific outputs.
- Context should include information that an assistant would need to complete the task well.
- Examples of Context include:
- Personal details (e.g., university biology student)
- Specific task requirements (e.g., end-of-term paper for 4th year Cell Biology class)
- Target audience (e.g., AI early adopters)
Examples
- The fourth ingredient is Examples, which provide the AI with models to learn from and emulate.
- Examples can be used to produce more creative, accurate, and useful outputs.
- Examples can be used for Multi-Shot or Few-Shot prompting.
Constraints + Formatting
- The fifth ingredient is Constraints + Formatting, which is not explicitly explained in the text but is mentioned as a key component of the Magic Prompt Formula.
