Use Delimiters: Wrap your data in XML-like tags (e.g. <context>...</context>). This helps the AI isolate your instructions from your data.
Be Specific, Not Conversational: Instead of "Can you please maybe write...", use "Task: Author a 500-word blog post...". Direct commands reduce "AI hallucinations."
Few-Shot Prompting: If the AI is failing to match your style, provide 1-2 examples of previous good results inside the prompt.
Why structure matters for LLMs?
Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on vast amounts of structured documentation. By using a framework like CREATE (Character, Request, Examples, Adjustment, Type, Extras), you provide the "clear mental model" the AI needs to minimize randomness and maximize accuracy.
