Communication
Good prompting is not magic
You do not need a secret formula. CRIT is simply a checklist for giving AI the same clarity you would give a smart new employee.
Don’t prompt. Collaborate.
CContext
What is happening, and what background does ChatGPT need?
RRole
Who should ChatGPT act like while helping you?
IInterview
Invite it to ask one question at a time before it begins.
TTask
What exactly should it create, analyze, improve, or decide?
Requirements
Tone, format, length, limitations, and what “good” looks like.
Source material
Reports, examples, emails, policies, or other trusted inputs.
Not sure how to prompt?
Tell ChatGPT what you are trying to accomplish and ask it to help you build the prompt. You do not have to memorize the framework.
TRY THIS LANGUAGE“Before beginning, interview me one question at a time so you can better understand the situation and improve the result.”
