Prompting Framework:

Here’s a simple framework I use called CLEAR. Easy to remember:

Clarity — What exactly do you want? Be specific.
Layers of context — Who’s the audience, what’s the tone, what format do you need?
Examples — Show a sample of what good looks like.
Assess — Review the output critically.
Refine — Iterate until it works.
