You underestimate good ChatGPT prompts.

Here are the 11 golden rules of ChatGPT:

☑ One-sentence task at the top (imperative verb)

☑ Persona set (“You are a …”) to anchor tone/knowledge

☑ 3 bullet requirements (must-haves, not nice-to-haves)

☑ Delimited context block: Text: /// … ///

☑ Constraints at the end (format, word count, style rules)

☑ Optional: “Think step-by-step” for reasoning-heavy tasks

☑ Remind of scope right at the end (recency)

☑ Ask for self-check: “Verify all constraints before answering”

☑ Include an evaluation line: “If info is missing, ask before proceeding”

☑ Keep total length 150–300 words for moderate tasks

☑ Avoid >500 words
