How to Write Effective prompts The best way to learn how to write prompts for prepping is a few-shot prompt. It starts off with the who, what, when, and why, along with a reference. (Some type of hard proof, like a picture, message, receipt, article, or source to reference or to get input on what you're talking about. ) Step 1: Describe your situation: Explain to me what the first steps to take in a blackout. Step 2: Describe your location. Next, think about location, hazards, limitations, travel issues, etc. Step 3: Describe your limitations. I live downtown in a high-rise apartment. I have 3 kids, a dog, a little bit of food, and there is a wild storm going on, and the power just went out. What do you suggest that I do to stay safe? Step 4: Upload images Upload photos, documents, maps, receipts, or other relevant information that may help the AI better understand your situation.Note: Never upload sensitive personal information such as banking details, Social Security numbers, passwords, or personal identification documents. Step 5: Refine the response. Change from one-shot commands to continuous dialogues, chain-of-thought steps, or multi-turn prompt chaining. 8
