Be specific and concrete. State the desired output format, the role the model should play, and any constraints. Provide examples when the task is non-obvious. Prefer instructions that describe the goal over examples of what to avoid. Iterate: test, observe failure modes, refine. Keep prompts short enough to reason about but complete enough to remove ambiguity.
