RTF prompts: what it is and when to use it

Role, Task, Format. RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.

When to use it

Use it for everyday tasks where the context is short: drafting an email, summarising notes, rewriting a paragraph.

The parts

Role: Who the AI should act as, for example an experienced editor.
Task: The specific thing you want done.
Format: How the answer should look: bullets, table, word limit, tone.
