How to write prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to get extraordinary output (without losing your mind):

Every good prompt has 3 parts:

1. CONTEXT (who you are, what you need)
2. TASK (what you want done)
3. FORMAT (how you want it delivered)

That's it. No 47-step frameworks. No PhD required.

Example:

CONTEXT: "I'm a startup founder pitching investors"
TASK: "Write a 1-minute elevator pitch for [product]"
FORMAT: "Hook + problem + solution + traction. Under 100 words."

PART 1: Context (the most skipped part)

Bad: "Write a marketing email"
Good: "I'm a B2B SaaS founder. My audience is CTOs at 50-500 person companies. They're skeptical of AI tools."

Why it works:

Context = AI understands your situation
No context = AI guesses and gets it wrong

Add 1 sentence of context. Output quality doubles.

You don't need a copywriter.
You don't need a data analyst.
You don't need an SEO specialist.

Claude Skills replaced all 5 freelancers I was paying $4,000-$10,000/month for.

Total cost now? $20/month.

Here's exactly how to set it up (takes 10 minutes): 👇

First, what are Claude Skills and why are they different from regular prompts?

A prompt is a one-time instruction. You explain your brand voice, your format, your preferences. Every. Single. Time.

A Skill is a reusable instruction set you build ONCE. Claude loads it automatically whenever you need that type of work done.

Think of it like hiring a specialist who never forgets your brand guidelines and never sends you an invoice.

Here are the 5 freelancer roles Skills can handle:

→ Copywriter ($500-2,000/month): Blog posts, emails, social copy in YOUR voice
→ Data Analyst ($1,000-3,000/month): CSV analysis, reports, trend spotting
→ Graphic Designer ($500-1,500/month): Decks, formatted PDFs, HTML templates
→ Virtual Assistant ($800-2,000/month): Email drafts, SOPs, research summaries
→ SEO Specialist ($1,000-2,500/month): Briefs, keyword research, on-page optimization

That's 48-72 hours saved per month.

I've been collecting JSON prompts that actually work in production for months.

Not the theoretical stuff you see in tutorials.

Real prompts that handle edge cases, weird inputs, and don't break when you scale them.

Here are the 12 that changed how I build with LLMs:

1. SCHEMA-FIRST ENFORCEMENT

Instead of: "Return JSON with name and email"

Use this:

"Return ONLY valid JSON matching this exact schema. No markdown, no explanation, no extra fields:
{
"name": "string (required)",
"email": "string (required, valid email format)"
}

Invalid response = failure. Strict mode."

Why it works: LLMs treat schema as hard constraint, not suggestion. 94% fewer malformed responses in my tests.

2. ESCAPE HATCH HANDLING

"If you cannot extract [field], return null for that field. Never skip fields, never add 'N/A' or 'unknown' strings.

Missing data = null value.

Example:
{"name": "John", "phone": null}

NOT: {"name": "John", "phone": "not provided"}"

Saved me from 1000+ string parsing bugs. Your downstream code will thank you.

"Act as a marketing expert" is weak prompting.

"Act as a marketing expert + data analyst + psychologist" is 10x better.

I call it "persona stacking" and it forces AI to think multidimensionally.

Here are 7 persona combinations that crush single-persona prompts:

STACK 1: Content Creation

Personas: Copywriter + Behavioral Psychologist + Data Analyst

Prompt:

"Act as a copywriter who understands behavioral psychology and data-driven content strategy. Write a LinkedIn post about [topic] that triggers curiosity, uses pattern interrupts, and optimizes for engagement metrics."

Result: Content that hooks AND converts.

STACK 2: Product Strategy

Personas: Product Manager + UX Designer + Economist

Prompt:

"Act as a product manager with UX design expertise and economic modeling skills. Analyze this feature request considering user experience, development costs, and market positioning. What's the ROI?"

Result: Decisions backed by multiple frameworks.

You can clone anyone's writing voice using Claude Sonnet 4.5 easily.

I've cloned:

- Hemingway
- Paul Graham essays
- My CEO's email style

The accuracy is scary good (validated by blind tests: 94% can't tell).

Here's the 3-step process:

Here's why I love this:

- Write emails in your boss's style (approvals go faster)
- Create content that matches your brand voice (consistency)
- Ghost-write for clients (they sound like themselves)
- Study great writers (by reverse-engineering their patterns)

I've saved 20+ hours/week using this.

STEP 1: Extract Voice DNA

Feed Claude/ChatGPT 2 to 3 writing samples (emails, essays, posts).

Use this prompt:

"Analyze these writing samples and extract the author's voice DNA. Identify:

1. Sentence structure patterns
2. Vocabulary preferences
3. Rhetorical devices
4. Tone and formality level
5. Unique quirks or signatures"
