The 4-Part Formula for Writing AI Prompts


Massive AI prompts are off-putting to read, let alone use.

You don’t need to write endless paragraphs of instructions, which are all the rage on social to get good outputs from your AI tool of choice.

I spent dozens of hours geeking out on documentation from Google and Claude prompt engineers. They offer a simple framework for writing AI prompts.

An effective AI prompt has four parts.

(This works great for Claude and ChatGPT).

Persona: Tell AI who it should be. This sets the tone and expertise level.
​Task: Specify exactly what you want, with clear parameters.
​Context: Share your goals and any relevant examples.
​Format: Define how you want the output structured.

Here’s your fill-in-the-blank template to get started:

You’re a [role] who [key characteristic].
I need [specific task] for [target audience/purpose].
Here’s my [context/examples]. Please format the output as [desired format].

Here’s a before and after showing how this works:

WEAK PROMPT:

“Write me some good hooks for my creativity course.”

STRONG PROMPT:

“You’re a copywriter who specializes in viral LinkedIn content. I need 5 attention-grabbing hooks for LinkedIn posts about my journey as a creative professional adopting AI tools. My audience consists of professionals in creative industries who want to stay ahead of tech trends. Each hook should lead into a story about overcoming initial AI skepticism. Please format each hook as a single punchy sentence, numbered 1–5, with a brief explanation of why it would work well on LinkedIn’s algorithm.”

I breakdown how I use this approach here​

This is a teaser for one of my favorite AI writing frameworks. I’ve six more like this one. Next week, I’ll reveal them in detail in an exclusive workshop. It’s for ticket holders only, but you’ll get a recording if you can’t make it live.

You’ll learn how to:
* Guide AI like a creative sidekick (not a mindless intern)
* Repurpose your content in seconds (without rewriting everything)
* Write prompts that match your voice, tone, and goals
* Use AI for your creative workflows without losing your voice

My workshops are practical. They’re ideal for creators, writers, and business owners who want to get more done using AI… without sounding like everyone else.
