If you’ve ever felt like GPT gives good answers sometimes — but vague, unfocused, or useless ones other times — these prompt patterns might help you fix that.
Here are 10 reliable prompt architectures I use now:
- “Act as an expert with 10+ years experience in [field] and give me a detailed plan.”
- “Before answering, ask me 3 clarifying questions.”
- “Give me 3 versions: creative, practical, and action-oriented.”
- “Think step-by-step and show your reasoning.”
- “Summarize this in 5 bullet points, then expand each into actionable steps.”
- “What would [famous thinker] say about this?”
- “Challenge my assumptions and suggest better alternatives.”
- “Compare 3 different strategies for achieving X, with pros/cons and recommended use cases.”
- “I will give you raw notes — turn them into a structured article with intro, body, conclusion, and call to action.”
- “Generate 10 original ideas for [topic] and rank them by effort vs reward.”
If you want a full pack of 120 high-leverage prompts (covering marketing, writing, code, business strategy, productivity and more), I built one that helped me shift from random guessing to real results.
