Mastering AI Prompts: The CRAFT Methodology Part I
In this chapter, we delve into the C.R.A.F.T. methodology, a powerful approach to harnessing the capabilities of ChatGPT and otehr LLM's.
CRAFT stands for Context, Role, Action, Format, and Target.
We will explore each of these elements in detail, providing practical examples to enhance understanding.
The first step in the CRAFT methodology is providing context. ChatGPT, despite its vast parameters, doesn't know your specific needs unless you tell it. Let's consider an example. Suppose you're a software engineer working on a project to develop a new fitness app. You might start your interaction with ChatGPT like this:
"Hello ChatGPT, I am a software engineer working on a new fitness app. Our goal is to create an app that offers personalized workout plans and diet recommendations. We are targeting individuals who are new to fitness and are looking for guidance to start their fitness journey."
This context helps ChatGPT understand your role, your project, and your goals, enabling it to provide more relevant and accurate responses.
The next step is defining the role you want ChatGPT to play. This could be a content writer, a coding assistant, or even a fitness expert. For our fitness app, you might want ChatGPT to act as a fitness expert. You could say:
"ChatGPT, I want you to act as a fitness expert with a deep understanding of workout routines and diet plans suitable for beginners. You should have a friendly and encouraging tone."
This role definition guides ChatGPT on how to respond, in this case, providing fitness advice in a friendly and encouraging manner.
The action is what you want ChatGPT to do. In our fitness app scenario, you might want ChatGPT to generate a beginner-friendly workout plan. You could instruct it as follows:
"ChatGPT, please generate a 4-week workout plan suitable for a beginner. The plan should include a mix of cardio and strength training exercises."
This action instruction tells ChatGPT exactly what you want it to produce.
The format is how you want ChatGPT to structure its output. For our workout plan, you might want it structured as a table with columns for the day of the week, the type of exercise, and the duration. You could instruct:
"ChatGPT, please format the workout plan as a table with columns for Day, Exercise, and Duration. Each week should start with a rest day."
This format instruction helps ChatGPT structure its output in a way that's easy for you to use.
Finally, the target is the audience for whom the content is intended. For our fitness app, the target audience is fitness beginners. You could say:
"ChatGPT, remember that the workout plan is intended for individuals who are new to fitness. The exercises should be simple to perform and not too strenuous."
This target instruction helps ChatGPT tailor its output to the needs and abilities of your target audience.
In conclusion, the CRAFT methodology offers a structured approach to interacting with ChatGPT, helping you get the most out of this powerful tool. By providing clear context, defining the role, specifying the action, setting the format, and identifying the target, you can guide ChatGPT to produce highly relevant and useful outputs.
Context setting is crucial for getting the desired output from the AI. It involves providing a clear picture of the background and the broader objective.
1. **Who You Are**: The AI should understand your role and expertise level to adjust the complexity and formality of the responses.
2. **Larger Goals**: Elucidate what you intend to achieve with the AI's output. This helps the AI structure its response.
3. **Application Information**: Details about how the output will be used can shape the AI's responses.
Context Tricks
You can state the problems you're facing related to the topic. Sharing your obstacles gives the AI additional context to produce more effective solutions.
The Role you assign to the AI shapes its behavior in terms of expertise level, creativity, and style of communication.
1. **Functional Capability**: What function should the AI perform? This could be a content writer, coach, coder, planner, etc.
2. **Domain Area**: Which field or subject should the AI specialize in? This could be fitness, food, manufacturing, astronomy, etc.
Role Tips
Asking for unique content can stimulate creative and unconventional responses. You can also ask the AI to challenge conventional thinking for more thought-provoking outputs.
This is where you define the specific task you want the AI to perform. Be clear and concise about the output you want, the structure it should have, and any specific elements it should include.
Action Tricks
For longer content, you can instruct the AI to write in sections, pausing after each one. You can also specify the type of content you don't want, such as promotional language.
The format dictates how the output appears. Tables can be used for idea generation, markdown for articles, and sequentially numbered lists for plans and instructions.
Format Tips
Avoid asking the AI to intersperse long and short sentences as this can lead to inconsistent results. Instead, ask the AI to avoid certain characters or to include external references to build credibility and improve SEO.
Defining your target audience helps the AI adjust the complexity and formality of its output.
Target Hacks
For more interesting content, define the audience as well-informed and up-to-date with industry news. This encourages the AI to produce more advanced and current results.
Using the CRAFT technique – Context, Role, Action, Format, and Target – will help you harness the full potential of AI models like ChatGPT. It provides a structured approach to prompting that ensures you receive meaningful, relevant, and customized outputs based on your specific needs.
The context is the backbone of the conversation. It frames the AI's understanding of the problem and the type of output needed. It's where you share your identity, objectives, and other relevant details about the problem.
Section 1.1: Defining Who You Are
Who you are matters to the AI. Your role might be a student, a software engineer, or a business owner. This will affect how the AI tailors its language and complexity. For example:
"I am a high school student looking to understand the basics of climate change."
Section 1.2: Larger Goals
Your larger goal helps the AI understand what you're ultimately trying to achieve, leading to more focused responses.
"My goal is to write a 500-word essay on the causes and effects of climate change."
Section 1.3: Application Information
Giving as much information as possible about how you plan to use the AI's output can help shape the response to fit your needs.
"The essay will be submitted for a school assignment and it should be written in simple language that a high school student can understand."
Section 2.1: Functional Capability
Defining the AI's functional capability helps it understand its role in the interaction.
"Act as an environmental science tutor who is helping me understand climate change."
Section 2.2: Domain Area
The domain area tells the AI what subject it should specialize in for this conversation.
"The domain area is environmental science, specifically climate change."
Section 3.1: Defining the Action
Here, you tell the AI exactly what you want it to do.
"Provide a brief explanation of climate change, its causes, and its effects."
Section 3.2: Key Elements
It's also important to specify any key elements you want the AI to include in its output.
"Include keywords like greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, global warming, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels."
Section 4.1: Output Format
The format of the AI's output can affect the type of information it delivers.
"Present the information in a structured essay format, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion."
Section 4.2: Specific Formatting Requests
You can also request specific formatting styles to suit your needs.
"Please include headings and subheadings for each section of the essay."

In this chapter, we delve into the CRAFT methodology, a powerful approach to harnessing the capabilities of ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI. CRAFT stands for Context, Role, Action, Format, and Target. We will explore each of these elements in detail, providing practical examples, tips, and tricks to enhance understanding.
The first step in the CRAFT methodology is providing context. ChatGPT, despite its vast parameters, doesn't know your specific needs unless you tell it. Narrow down the subject matter so ChatGPT knows how to focus its output. Tell ChatGPT who you are as it relates to the objective, define your larger goals for the output, and provide other relevant details about your prompt.
•Website content: What are your site's main themes? Who is your audience? Are you trying to increase traffic? Convert Sales?
•Code Writing: What type of application are you building? What language? Integrations? Functional Objectives?
•Productivity: What work goals are you looking to accomplish? What tools do you use? Are there timeframe implications? What distracts or prevents productivity?
•Fitness: Losing weight? Gaining muscle? Current injuries or restrictions? Do you have a goal date?
State problems you're experiencing relative to the topic, for example:
•I'm tired of preparing the same meals.

"ChatGPT, I want you to act as a tech expert with a deep understanding of artificial intelligence trends. You should write in an informative and engaging style."
The action is what you want ChatGPT to do. Concisely define the function you want ChatGPT to perform. Next, tell ChatGPT the key elements you want by saying things like: “Include the following keywords, ingredients, features, dataset, column headers… in the output”. Tell Chat: Please don't explain what you're doing. Please do not self-reference.
•For 500+ word content - "Please write this content in multiple parts. Once you finish a section, pause and I will ask you to continue writing."
•If you’re writing blog or article content, tell ChatGPT to answer a specific question that you want the article to answer.
•I also say, "I don't want the article to read like an advertisement."
"ChatGPT, please write a 1000-word article on the latest trends in artificial intelligence, focusing on applications in healthcare and education. Include the following keywords: machine learning, natural language processing, predictive analytics, personalized learning, AI in diagnostics."
The format is how you want ChatGPT to structure its output.
•Use tables for idea generation.
•If you want ChatGPT to act as a SQL terminal in front of an example database, tell it that you will type queries and ChatGPT should reply with what the terminal would show. Then ask Chat to reply with a table of query results in a single code block and nothing else.
•For articles, ask it to write in Markdown including heading and subheading notation. For content diversity: ask it to include bullet points; Include a relevant and specific quote.
•For plans and instructions, ask Chat to produce the output "in a sequentially numbered list".
•Say, “Do not use single quotes, double quotes or any other enclosing characters.”
•Don’t bother with language like “intersperse long and short sentences”
•Adding external references builds credibility and improves SEO.
"ChatGPT, please format the article in Markdown with headings and subheadings. Include bullet points where appropriate and add a relevant quote from an industry expert."
Section 5: Target
Finally, the target is the audience for whom the content is intended. Make sure your target audience is defined according to the level of expertise you to see conveyed in the content. Creating or defining a Persona is a great way to help ChatGPT understand your audience.
Target Hacks
•For more interesting content, tell Chat, "the target audience is well informed and stays current with industry news and information." This will ensure more current and expert results.
"ChatGPT, remember that the article is intended for tech-savvy readers who are interested in the latest trends in artificial intelligence. They are familiar with AI concepts but are looking for new insights and applications."
In conclusion, the CRAFT methodology offers a structured approach to interacting with ChatGPT, helping you get the most out of this powerful tool. By providing clear context, defining the role, specifying the action, setting the format, and identifying the target, you can guide ChatGPT to produce highly relevant and useful outputs.
