My biggest advice (sorry it's long). Please read; you will understand why
Hey, Iām Eugene, and prompt engineering is something I take seriously. If thereās one piece of advice Iād give you, itās this, build yourself a template. Something simple, flexible, and genuinely reusable. Think of it as a framework you can return to whenever you need it. You drop in the details for your current task, and it gives you exactly what youāre looking for, without starting from scratch. I run a community of prompt engineers, mostly people in their 20s to 40s, and this is the principle I come back to again and again. Build a strong template, one thatās reusable, reliable, and repeatable. Hereās what that looks like in practice. Reusable, it works across different situations and still delivers. Reliable, you can trust it even as tools evolve. Repeatable, it produces consistent results across platforms, and you can expand it without breaking the structure. So how do you actually apply this? Start with a simple structure like RTF, Role, Task, Format. Or take it a step further with RTCF, adding Context. Once youāve got that foundation, build your template around it. For example: Role: You are a high-level copywriter Task: Write a landing page Context: Product is a beginner-friendly drum course for adults Format: Clear sections, persuasive tone, concise paragraphs Or: Role: Expert prompt engineer Task: Generate a YouTube script Context: Audience is beginners learning prompt engineering, tone is clear and engaging Format: Hook, main points, examples, closing summary Now, whenever you need a prompt, whether itās for GPT, Claude, or Perplexity, you follow a simple process. Open your template, drop it in, and layer your context. For instance: āI need a prompt that writes a sales email for a digital product. It should feel personal, not pushy. It needs to highlight benefits clearly and include a soft call to action.ā Or: āI need a prompt that generates Instagram captions for a photography page. It should match an outdoor, reflective tone and include subtle storytelling.ā
