Find the constraints missing from this prompt. **Premise: anything not stated, the model decides — and it decides differently each run.** Go through these and say for each whether my prompt fixes it or leaves it open: 1. **Length** — total, and per section 2. **Format** — prose, table, list; how deep the headings go 3. **Register and person** — who is speaking, to whom 4. **What to exclude** — ***the most commonly missing one.*** What must not appear in the output 5. **Handling missing information** — ask, mark, or leave blank 6. **Scope** — how far past what I asked the model may go 7. **Language** — which language, and what happens to terms and proper nouns 8. **Basis** — use only what I provided, or may it add outside knowledge **Then:** - Propose the missing ones as sentences I can paste in - ***Mark constraints that would fight each other if both were added*** - **Say which constraints are not worth adding.** *Over-constraining makes output stiff and wastes length on rules that never bind*
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Your prompt)
What this prompt does
Output varies run to run because constraints were never stated — most often what to exclude. This checks eight of them and flags which ones would fight each other.
