The Framework Behind Every Prompt

The CPR Prompt Formula

Every strong AI prompt has three ingredients. Master this pattern and you'll be able to write your own — not just copy others'.

C
Context

Who you are and what the AI needs to know to give you a relevant answer. Your role, your company type, your audience.

P
Purpose

The outcome you want — not just the task. What will the output be used for? Who will read it? What decision does it inform?

R
Request

Your specific, concrete ask. Format, length, tone, constraints. The more precise your request, the more useful the output.

All 30 prompts below follow this structure. Learn the pattern, not just the prompts — then write your own.
