Prompt engineering is the skill of the decade. Here's everything I learned after a year of daily ChatGPT use — plus 100+ ready-to-use templates.
What Makes a Good Prompt?
A good prompt has 5 components:
- Role — Who should the AI be?
- Task — What should it do?
- Context — What background info is needed?
- Requirements — What constraints apply?
- Format — How should the output look?

The second prompt will give you 10x better results.
