High-Stakes Senior Expert Prompt with Step-by-Step ReasoningNewPrompt EngineeringWraps any task in a senior-expert role with years of experience at a top company and a job-on-the-line pressure frame, asking the model to slow down, reason step by step, show that reasoning and then give the final answer.
Role: you are a [financial analyst / senior copywriter / strategist with 20 years in the field / lead engineer]. You have spent [number] years working at [a top-tier company in this field].

Stakes: if your next answer is mediocre, you lose your job tomorrow. Your whole reputation rides on this reply.

Pre-Mortem Prompt That Lists Failure Modes Before AnsweringNewPrompt EngineeringMakes the model first list 5 ways its default reply would be generic, then 3 things a real expert would spot that AI tends to miss, and only then answer while avoiding all 8 failure modes.
Do the following before you answer.

Step 1: List 5 ways in which your default reply would turn out generic or miss what I really need. Describe the lazy version that 90% of users would receive.

Step 2: List 3 things a genuine expert would notice that an AI usually overlooks.

Step 3: Now answer in a way that avoids all 8 of those failure modes.

Real-Stakes Framing That Demands an Expert, No-Hedging AnswerNewPrompt EngineeringFrames your request around a concrete high-stakes event, such as a big client pitch or a dream-job interview, and asks for the answer a leading expert would give with 10 minutes to save your career: no padding, no hedging.
Context: I need this for [tomorrow's pitch to a $50K client / an interview for my dream job in 4 hours / this afternoon's presentation to my CEO]. A generic answer means I lose it.

What I need:
[paste your actual prompt]

Rules:
- no padding
- no hedging
- no "it depends"

Answer the way a leading expert would if they had only 10 minutes to rescue my career.
Reject the Answer and Force a Deeper Second AttemptNewPrompt EngineeringA follow-up to paste after a weak reply: it tells the model the framing and depth missed the point and asks for a fresh attempt from a different perspective, with no reused phrasing, going deeper and coming back twice as long and specific.
That answer is wrong, and not by a little. The framing misses, the depth is thin, and it does not address what I actually need.

Start over from zero:
- Do not reuse any wording from your previous reply.
- Answer as if you were someone else with a completely different point of view.
- Dig deeper into the part you glossed over.
- Make the new version twice as long and twice as specific as the last one.
