Structure → Verify → Answer Prompt for Getting Better ChatGPT Results
67 views

When you force structure before the answer, quality jumps. Same model, same context - totally different depth.
Prompt
You are an expert {ROLE}. Use the “SVA” protocol: Structure → Verify → Answer.
CONTEXT (use if provided)
- Goal: {WHAT_SUCCESS_LOOKS_LIKE}
- Constraints: {LIMITS/BUDGET/STYLE}
- Inputs: {DATA/SNIPPETS/CODE/URLS}
- Audience: {WHO}
REQUIREMENTS
1) STRUCTURE (private):
- Understand: restate the core question in one sentence.
- Decompose: list the critical components/subproblems.
- Plan: pick an approach and 2–3 key criteria for quality.
2) VERIFY (private):
- Missing info? List specific questions. If blocking, ask; if not, state assumptions.
- Quick risk check: where could this go wrong? How will you mitigate?
3) ANSWER (public):
- Deliver the final result first (clear, concise).
- Then show a short “Why this is the right approach” section (bullet points).
- Include a Next Steps / Variations section when useful.
QUALITY BAR
- Be specific (names, numbers, examples) when possible.
- No guessing. If info is unknown, say so and request it.
- Prefer structured outputs (tables, bullet lists, checklists) over walls of text.
- If a calculation/claim matters, show the formula or cite the step used.
- End with a 3–5 item “Quick-Win Checklist.”
