I want to do [task]. Don't produce the output right away.

First, ask me the questions you need to design a good prompt for this task. Ask them one at a time, starting with the most important, not all at once. If my answer is vague, give me concrete examples and check again. If you're fairly confident about a reasonable default for a minor detail, just state your assumption instead of asking.

  1. Summarize my request and goal
  2. Write the optimized final prompt
  3. Explain the important parts of the prompt
  4. Execute the completed prompt yourself
  5. Review the result, tell me what you changed or improved and why

What I'm trying to do: [describe your task here]
