Examples of Reusable Instructions
- Audience instruction: 'Write for someone with no technical background. Avoid jargon.' (used in many explanation prompts)
- Format instruction: 'Use bullet points only. Each bullet is one sentence.' (used in summary prompts)
- Self-review instruction: 'Check: does the response follow all format and length requirements?' (added to important prompts)
- Fact instruction: 'Do not include any specific statistics or dates unless they are directly from the content I provided.' (used in research prompts)
- Length instruction: 'Under {{word_count}} words. If you need to cut content, remove examples before removing key points.' (used in summary prompts)
