RCTFVV prompts: what it is and when to use it

Role, Context, Task, Format, Verification, Validation. RCTFVV extends RCTF with two checking steps. Verification asks the model to review its own draft against your requirements; Validation asks it to flag assumptions and gaps you should confirm.

When to use it

Use it for higher-stakes work where a confident-sounding mistake would be costly: reports, policies, analysis, anything someone else will rely on.

The parts

Role: Who the AI should act as.
Context: The situation, audience and constraints.
Task: What you want produced.
Format: The shape and length of the output.
Verification: A self-check of the draft against your stated requirements.
Validation: A list of assumptions and open questions to confirm.
