To write a prompt for a custom template, you can use the "CO-STAR" Golden Prompt Rule to refine your prompt for better results:
- C-CONTEXT : Provide relevant background information (e.g., "I am a team leader in a marketing department. Every week, our team holds meetings to discuss campaigns, brainstorm ideas, and address challenges").
- O-OBJECTIVE : Clearly state your goal (e.g., "Generate my weekly meeting summary to record campaign status, brainstorming key points, and action items for team members").
- S-STYLE : Specify the writing style (e.g., "Professional meeting summary assistant, akin to a personal secretary").
- T-TONE : Define the tone (e.g., "Professional, concise, clear, avoiding complex terminology").
- A-AUDIENCE : Target audience (e.g., "All team members, including attendees and absentees").
- R-Response : Request the response format (e.g., "Markdown with second-level headers for main titles and third-level headers for sub-titles").
This approach helps you create tailored prompts that align with your workflow—whether for meetings, lectures, client calls, or industry-specific tasks like medical SOAP notes or sales BANT tracking.
