Turn a rough request into a powerful prompt
Rewrites your idea into a clear, complete prompt — and asks what's missing first.
The prompt
Help me turn a rough request into an excellent prompt.
What I want the AI to do: [ROUGH REQUEST]
Which AI tool (optional): [ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / image or video model]
Who the output is for and how I'll use it: [CONTEXT]
Process:
1. Ask me up to 5 questions about anything that would change the result (audience, inputs, constraints, format, examples of good output). Wait for my answers.
2. Write the improved prompt with: the goal, context, inputs (as clearly marked [PLACEHOLDERS]), step-by-step instructions where they help, constraints, and the exact output format.
3. Explain the 3 changes that matter most.
4. Give a shorter version for quick use.
Keep it as simple as possible — no fake expert personas or filler instructions that don't change the result.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the Chain-of-Thought structure (Chain-of-thought prompting). A chain-of-thought prompt asks the model to work through a problem step by step before giving its answer, which tends to help on reasoning, planning and multi-part questions.
