Master ChatGPT with these 5 frameworks:

1. Contextual Prompting: Providing enough context before asking a question.

2. Explicit Instruction: Being explicit and clear in your instruction, specifying the format or the type of answer you are looking for.

3. Step-by-step Instruction: Breaking down a complex question or task into smaller, more manageable parts.

4. Using Templates: Using templates or a specific structure for your questions.

5. Prompt Engineering: Experimenting with different phrasings and structures for your questions to yield significantly different results.

6. Contextual Prompting: This involves providing enough context before asking a question. More context helps in generating more accurate and relevant responses.

   • Example: Instead of asking "What is the capital of France?" directly, frame it as "I am working on a geography project and need to know the capital of various countries. Can you tell me the capital of France that has enough context for my geography project?"

     

7. Explicit Instruction: This involves being explicit and clear in your instruction, specifying the format or the type of answer you are looking for.

   • Example: If you are looking for a summary, ask "Can you provide a summary of the novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' in bullet points?" instead of just asking "Tell me about 'To Kill a Mockingbird'".

     

8. Step-by-step Instruction: This involves breaking down a complex question or task into smaller, more manageable parts.

   • Example: Instead of asking "How can I lose weight and build muscle?", break it down into two parts: "What are some effective ways to lose weight?" followed by "What are some exercises that can help in building muscle?"

     

9. Using Templates: This involves using templates or a specific structure for your questions.

   • Example: If you are asking for recommendations, use a template like: "Can you recommend [type of recommendation] for [specific context or criteria]?"

     

10. Prompt Engineering: This involves experimenting with different phrasings and structures for your questions to yield significantly different results.

    • Example: Instead of asking "What are the benefits of exercising?", ask "Can you list 20 positive effects of regular physical activity on our body in bullet point form?"
