The 6-Component Prompt Formula
Based on Jeff Su's proven framework and OpenAI's best practices, every great prompt combines these six building blocks
Start with an action verb. Tell the AI exactly what you want it to do.
"Generate a lesson plan for teaching machine learning fundamentals"
Use verbs like: Generate, Create, Analyze, Summarize, Compare, Explain, Design
Provide background information so the AI understands your situation.
"I am a Computer Science professor at a Palestinian university with 30 undergraduate students"
Include: your background, audience, constraints, and relevant details
Give examples of what you want the output to look like.
"Structure it like: Topic → Learning Objectives → Activities → Assessment"
Show a sample format, reference a style, or describe the ideal output
Tell the AI who to act as — this shapes the expertise and perspective.
"Act as an experienced curriculum designer with 15 years in higher education"
Choose personas relevant to your need: advisor, editor, tutor, analyst
Specify how you want the output structured and presented.
"Present as a numbered list with bullet points under each item"
Options: table, bullet list, essay, email, code, step-by-step guide
Set the communication style and emotional register.
"Use a professional yet approachable academic tone"
Options: formal, casual, encouraging, critical, enthusiastic, neutral

- 3Iterate — refine your prompt based on the output
- 4Verify — always fact-check AI-generated content
- 5Be ethical — cite AI use in academic work
The Golden Rule of Prompting
"The quality of your AI output is directly proportional to the quality of your input. A well-crafted prompt is the difference between a generic response and a breakthrough insight."
