Prompts don't need to be long. They need to be clear.

Most people think that longer prompts are better prompts. That's not true. The best prompts are specific, structured, and just long enough to give the AI what it needs—nothing more.

Start with the outcome

Before you write anything, ask yourself: What do I actually want?

If you can't describe the result in one sentence, your prompt will probably be messy. Clarity starts before you type.

Be specific about format

AI models respond well to explicit format instructions. Instead of:

"Give me ideas for a blog post"

Try:

"Give me 5 blog post titles about productivity. Each title should be under 10 words and include a number."

See the difference? The second version tells the AI exactly what to produce.

Use examples when needed

If you want a specific style or tone, show it. One example is worth a hundred instructions.

"Write in this style: [paste example]"

This is especially useful for creative work like image prompts or copywriting.

Structure over length

A well-structured prompt beats a long one every time. Use clear sections:

Iterate, don't overthink

Your first prompt won't be perfect. That's fine. Run it, see what happens, and adjust. The best prompters treat it as a conversation, not a one-shot.

The goal isn't to write the longest prompt. It's to write the one that gets you what you need, fast.
