Role Prompting
“You're a career coach with 20+ years experience…”
Instantly changes the depth and expertise of answers.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
“Think step-by-step and show your work.”
AI gets smarter when forced to explain its reasoning.
Reverse Prompting
“Before answering, ask me 3 clarifying questions.”
Forces AI to gather context instead of assuming.
Perspective Shift
“What would (specific expert) say about this?”
Thinking frameworks that process information differently.
Compare & Contrast
“Give 3 options: conservative, moderate, aggressive.”
A spectrum of choices eliminates decision paralysis.
Iterative Refinement
“Make it shorter, more formal, add an example.”
The first draft is the starting point — keep pushing.
