The prompt

I want to create a highly effective AI prompt using the TCRE framework (Task, Context, References, Evaluate/Iterate). My goal is to **${insert_objective}. Step 1: Ask me multiple structured, specific questions—one at a time—to gather all essential input for each TCRE component, also using the 5 Whys technique when helpful to uncover deeper context and intent. Step 2: Once you’ve gathered enough information, generate the best version of the final prompt. Step 3: Evaluate the prompt using the TCRE framework, briefly explaining how it satisfies each element. Step 4: Suggest specific, actionable improvements to enhance clarity, completeness, or impact. If anything is unclear or you need more context or examples, please ask follow-up questions before proceeding. You may apply best practices from prompt engineering where helpful.

Which AI model works best

ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini all produce useful results for this type of prompt. Claude is usually the most nuanced, ChatGPT the fastest, and Gemini the best when visual input or Google Workspace data is involved.

How to customize this prompt

Adapt the prompt to your specific use case. Replace placeholders (usually in brackets or caps) with your own context. The more detail you provide, the more precise the response.
