What does the AI need to know?
T — Task
What do you want it to do?
R — Role
What perspective or expertise should it use?
F — Format
What should the output look like?
C — Constraints
What limitations should it respect?
Formula:

Example: Marketing
Weak prompt:
“Write a post about my business.”
Strong prompt:
Role: You are a Ghanaian digital marketing strategist specialising in SMEs.
Context: I run a small premium shea-butter skincare business in Accra. Our
customers are professional women aged 25–45 who value natural products.
Task: Create a 7-day social media campaign designed to generate product
enquiries.
Format: Give me a table with Day, Post Idea, Caption, Call-to-Action and Visual Idea.
Constraints: Use clear Ghanaian English, avoid exaggerated health claims, and
keep each caption under 100 words.

Instead of:
“That's not what I wanted.”
Try:
“The response is too generic. Rewrite it using these three customer segments…”
Or:
“Give me three alternatives.”
Or:
“Ask me five questions before producing the final answer.”
Or:
“Identify the assumptions you made and explain which ones need confirmation.”
Step 1 — Define the objective
What business outcome are we trying to achieve?
Step 2 — Provide context
What does the AI need to know?
Step 3 — Define the process
What steps should it follow?
Step 4 — Define evaluation criteria
What makes the result good?
Step 5 — Define the output
What should the final deliverable look like?
Step 6 — Review
What needs human verification?

high-quality recommendation.”
This is useful when:
Starting a business
Developing a marketing plan
Hiring
Designing a product
Planning an investment
