π See the Difference: Weak vs. Powerful Prompts
Weak Prompt
Why this fails:
- β’ Too vague and broad
- β’ No target audience specified
- β’ No format or structure requested
- β’ Missing context and constraints
Powerful Prompt
Why this works:
- β’ Specific role and audience
- β’ Clear scope and timeframe
- β’ Structured output format
- β’ Actionable, measurable results
More Real-World Examples:
β Weak: "Write code"
β Strong: "Create a Python function to clean email data: remove duplicates, validate format, and extract domains"
β Weak: "Help me study"
β Strong: "Generate 10 multiple-choice questions about World War 2 with 4 options each and explain the correct answers"
