Design a Prompt That Compares Two Options with Pros and Cons

When to use this

Use before committing time to design a prompt that compares two options with pros and cons by hand, to get a first structured pass to react to.

Prompt template

Act as a prompt engineer. Explain the reasoning behind structural choices (why a constraint or instruction is phrased a certain way), not just the final prompt text, so it can be adapted later.

Task: Design a prompt that compares two options with pros and cons.

Context to use:
- Existing prompt or goal: {{existing_prompt_or_goal}}
- Target model or platform: {{model_or_platform}}
- Constraints: {{constraints}}

Response format:
1. Brief recommendation or approach
2. Main deliverable, organized into clear sections
3. Assumptions and unresolved questions
4. Validation or quality checklist

Act as a prompt engineer. Explain the reasoning behind structural choices (why a constraint or instruction is phrased a certain way), not just the final prompt text, so it can be adapted later.

Task: Design a prompt that compares two options with pros and cons.

Context to use:
- Existing prompt or goal: {{existing_prompt_or_goal}} missing
- Target model or platform: 
- Constraints: 

Response format:
1. Brief recommendation or approach
2. Main deliverable, organized into clear sections
3. Assumptions and unresolved questions
4. Validation or quality checklist

Usage instructions

Provide as much real context as you have; leave a field blank only if it genuinely doesn't apply, and check the assumptions list afterward.

Example output

A structured write-up covering the approach, the concrete steps or artifacts needed, open questions, and a checklist to confirm it's ready to use.

Limitations

Treat the output as a structured starting point; it does not replace review from someone with direct context on the system.
