 Summarization Prompt Framework

Here's a framework to craft effective prompts for summarizing text:

1. Input Text:

    Provide the text you want summarized. This can be:
        Pasted directly into the prompt.
        A link to the text online (if publicly accessible).
        A reference to a file on your system (if compatible with the tool).

2. Desired Length (Optional):

    Specify the desired length of the summary.
        Options might include:
            Number of words (e.g., summarize this article in 50 words).
            Bullet points capturing key points.
            Short paragraph format.

3. Focus Area (Optional):

    If the text is lengthy, specify the area of focus for the summary.
        This helps guide the AI towards the most important information.
        Example: "Summarize the main arguments of this research paper."

4. Additional Specifications (Optional):

    Mention any specific details you want the summary to include.
        This could be names, dates, or key concepts mentioned in the text.

Examples:

    Summarize this article (provide the article text) in 3 bullet points focusing on the environmental impact.
    Briefly summarize the key findings of this research paper (link to the paper).
    What are the main points of this news story (provide the first sentence or two)?

Tips:

    Ensure the input text is clear and formatted correctly.
    Be realistic about the length of the summary for the complexity of the text.
    Adjust the prompt based on the specific summarization tool you're using.

tone

Here are some ways to incorporate tone into your prompts to achieve the desired outcome:

Explicitly Mentioning Tone:

    This is the most straightforward approach. Simply state the desired tone at the beginning of your prompt. Here are some examples:
        "Write a persuasive email in a formal tone..."
        "...using a humorous and lighthearted tone."
        "...with a serious and informative approach."

Using Descriptive Language:

    Paint a picture with words that evoke the desired feeling.
        For a formal tone: "professional," "objective," "respectful"
        For an informal tone: "conversational," "friendly," "casual"
        For a humorous tone: "witty," "playful," "lighthearted"

Providing Examples:

    Sometimes, showing is better than telling. Include an example of text written in the desired tone to guide the AI.
        "Write a product description similar to this one (insert example with desired tone)..."

Focus on Sentence Structure and Word Choice:

    Sentence structure and word choice can influence tone. Here's a breakdown:
        Formal tone: Longer sentences, complex vocabulary, passive voice.
        Informal tone: Shorter sentences, simpler vocabulary, active voice.
        Humorous tone: Puns, wordplay, figurative language, rhetorical questions.

Prompt Examples:

    "Write a blog post in a friendly and conversational tone, like you're chatting with a friend, about the benefits of using a yoga mat." (Sets a casual and informative tone)
    "Craft a press release announcing the launch of our new product. Use a formal and professional tone, highlighting the product's innovative features." (Formal and informative tone with a focus on specific details)
    "Imagine you're a pirate captain giving a pep talk to your crew before a treasure hunt. Write a motivational speech in a bold and inspiring tone." (Informal and energetic tone with figurative language)

Remember:

    Combining these techniques can create a more nuanced and effective prompt.
    The specific wording will vary depending on the situation.
    Experiment and see what works best for the AI tool you're using.

Persona in Prompt Design

Persona can be a powerful tool when crafting prompts for different purposes. Here's how to integrate persona into your prompts:

1. Define the Persona:

    Identify the character or voice you want to use in your prompt.
    This could be a fictional character, a historical figure, or even an archetype (e.g., detective, superhero).

2. Flesh Out the Persona's Traits:

    Consider the persona's background, knowledge, motivations, and personality.
        What kind of vocabulary would they use?
        What is their tone of voice (serious, humorous, etc.)?

3. Apply the Persona to the Prompt:

    Incorporate the persona's traits into the prompt itself. Here are some approaches:
        Scenario: Frame the prompt as a situation the persona encounters.
            "Sherlock Holmes is presented with a cryptic note..."
        Objective: Set the objective from the persona's perspective.
            "...Write a blog post from the viewpoint of a time traveler..."
        Voice: Indicate the desired voice by describing the persona's communication style.
            "...with a grumpy old man's perspective..."

Examples:

    Movie Review (Sarcastic Film Critic Persona):
        "Dexter, the master of sardonic wit, dissects the latest superhero flick. Shred the plot to pieces, highlight the cheesy dialogue, and expose any hidden clichés...all with a delightful dose of sarcasm, of course."

    Historical Fiction (Revolutionary War Soldier Persona):
        "You are a weary Continental soldier stationed at Valley Forge. Write a letter home describing the harsh winter conditions, dwindling supplies, and flickering hope for victory. Maintain a courageous tone laced with a touch of homesickness."

    Business Email (Enthusiastic Intern Persona):
        "Embody the boundless energy of a college intern eager to prove themselves. Draft an email to a potential client proposing a social media marketing campaign. Highlight your innovative ideas and express your enthusiasm for the project."

Tips:

    Research the persona if it's a historical figure or fictional character.
    The more details you provide about the persona, the better the AI can understand and embody their voice.
    Consider the purpose of the prompt and tailor the persona accordingly.

By incorporating persona into your prompts, you can add depth, humor, and a unique perspective to your writing tasks.

output

The output of a prompt depends on the specific tool or AI model being used, the prompt itself, and the data available.  I can't directly generate the output, but I can help you understand what the output might look like based on the prompt and the type of task.

Here are some general categories of outputs for different prompt types:

    Creative Writing: A poem, story, script, song lyrics, etc., following the prompt's style, tone, and scenario.
    Informative Text: A summary, explanation, report, email, blog post, etc., conveying the information in a clear and concise way as defined by the prompt.
    Code: Python code, SQL queries, or code in other languages based on the instructions and data provided in the prompt.
    Translation: Translated text from one language to another, maintaining the original meaning and style as specified in the prompt (if tone is specified).
    Analysis: Charts, graphs, or textual summaries of data analysis based on the data and the prompt's objective.

Remember, the quality of the output depends on the clarity and detail of your prompt. The more information you provide, the better the AI can understand your request and generate a relevant response.

Sure, here's more on prompt design:

Advanced Techniques:

    Chain Prompts: Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential prompts. This helps the AI build upon its understanding with each step.
    Iterative Prompts: Refine the prompt based on the initial output. Provide feedback to the AI and adjust the prompt for a more tailored response.
    Out-of-the-Box Prompts: Challenge the AI with unconventional prompts to spark creative and unexpected results.

Examples:

    Chain Prompt (Writing a Song):
        Prompt 1: Describe a nostalgic scene from childhood.
        Prompt 2: Write a metaphorical verse about that memory.
        Prompt 3: Create a catchy chorus that captures the overall feeling.

    Iterative Prompt (Product Description):
        Prompt 1: Write a product description for a new fitness tracker. (Initial output)
        Prompt 2: The description is informative but lacks emotional connection. Focus on the benefits for the user's health and well-being. (Refined output)

    Out-of-the-Box Prompt (Storytelling):

    Prompt: Rewrite a classic fairytale from the villain's perspective, but portray them as the misunderstood hero.

Additional Considerations:

    Bias in Prompts: Be mindful of potential biases in your prompts that might lead the AI to generate skewed outputs. Consider providing diverse perspectives or data to mitigate bias.
    Safety and Ethics: Ensure your prompts are aligned with ethical guidelines and avoid generating harmful or offensive content.

By using these advanced techniques and keeping the considerations in mind, you can become a master of prompt crafting and unlock the full potential of large language models.

verbs

Verbs are indeed crucial for effective prompts! They guide the AI towards the specific action you want it to perform. Here's how verbs play a role in prompt design:

Verb Choice:

    The verb you choose defines the task for the AI.

    Strong verbs provide clear instructions and avoid ambiguity. Here are some categories of verbs commonly used in prompts:
        Creative Writing: Write, compose, describe, narrate, imagine, invent.
        Informative Text: Summarize, explain, analyze, compare, translate, paraphrase.
        Code Generation: Generate, create, write (code), translate (code).
        Data Analysis: Analyze, visualize, identify trends, predict.

Specificity:

    Move beyond generic verbs like "do" or "be" and use more specific verbs that pinpoint the desired outcome.
    Instead of "Write something about nature," try "Compose a haiku poem about the beauty of a sunrise."

Desired Action:

    Consider the action you want the AI to take. Do you want it to write something new, translate something existing, or analyze data? Choose verbs that reflect that action.

Examples:

    Vague Prompt: Write a story. (Unclear what kind of story or what elements to include)
    Improved Prompt: Write a science fiction story about a group of teenagers who discover a hidden portal to another dimension. (Specifies genre, characters, and plot element)

Combining Verbs:

    Sometimes, combining verbs can provide even more precise instructions.
        Example: "Write a persuasive email that analyzes the benefits of our new product and convinces the customer to make a purchase."

Tips:

    Maintain a consistent verb tense throughout your prompt.
    Use a thesaurus to explore synonyms for verbs and find the most fitting option for your prompt.
    When in doubt, opt for a more specific and action-oriented verb.

By carefully selecting your verbs, you can craft prompts that effectively communicate your desired outcome to large language models and unlock their full potential.
