Step 1 — Core Prompt Components
Start here: define role, task, context, constraints, output format, and (optionally) select a Handbook prompt component.
Handbook — select a prompt from the attached Handbook
Pick a chapter and prompt (brief), fill variables, then insert the resolved component.
Step 2 — Advanced Prompt Components
Optional: add examples, step-by-step reasoning, decomposition, critique, and perspective switching.
Step 3 — Build Prompt
Step 4 — Your Prompt
Step 5 — Run Your Prompt (Optional)
Step 6 — Prompt Coach
Analyze your current built prompt and get targeted improvements.
Step 7 — Ask the Prompt Coach
Tip: Build your prompt first so the Coach can reference it.
User Guide
A quick guide to building strong prompts with Prompt Builder.
Recommended workflow
- Step 1: Enable core components (Role, Task, Context, Constraints, Output Format). Use dropdowns for ideas, then type your real values in the “or type…” fields.
- Click Insert Prompt Component on each enabled pattern to generate a robust template, then edit it with specifics (audience, deliverable, success criteria).
- Step 3: Click Build Prompt to assemble a single final prompt.
- Step 5 (optional): Select a model and click Run Prompt. Review the Run Result.
- Step 6–7: Use the Coach to critique and iterate. Apply one change at a time (rebuild → rerun).
When to use advanced components (Step 2)
- Few-shot when you need a precise style/format.
- Decomposition for multi-step tasks (plan → execute → synthesize).
- Self-critique when correctness/clarity matters (adds QA pass).
- Perspective switch when you want multiple viewpoints before a final answer.
Tip: If dropdowns ever look stale after a deploy, do a hard refresh (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R).
