Stop Learning Prompt Engineering (Do THIS instead)
Let this AI framework build better prompts for you while you focus on real work
Hey Adopter,
I discovered something that changed how I think about AI prompts entirely. A simple 7-step framework that turns mediocre prompts into precision instruments.
Most consultants approach AI like they're asking their intern for help. Vague requests. Generic outputs. Then they wonder why ChatGPT feels like an expensive paperweight.
The problem isn't the AI. It's how we talk to it.
The Consultant's Prompt Problem
You've been there. You ask ChatGPT to "help with my client presentation" and get back vanilla advice that could apply to literally any business on the planet.
Or you try "write a follow-up email" and receive something so robotic your grandmother could spot it as AI-generated.
The issue? We're treating AI like a search engine when it's actually a specialized consultant that needs a proper briefing.
The Self-Improving Prompt Breakthrough
Here's what most people miss about AI prompts. Instead of learning complex techniques, you can build a system where the AI improves its own instructions.
Think of it like this: Instead of getting better at giving directions, you teach your GPS to optimize its own routes.
The beauty? You don't need to understand prompt engineering. You just need to follow seven steps, and the AI handles the technical heavy lifting.
The Framework That Changes Everything
Step 1: Tell the AI to generate a detailed guide for your specific role
Step 2: Show it 5 examples of tasks you actually do
Step 3: Ask it to reverse-engineer a better prompt from those examples
Step 4: Have it create an evaluation framework
Step 5: Let it score the new prompt
Step 6: Generate 3 improved alternatives
Step 7: Pick the winner and lock it in
The magic happens between steps 3 and 6. The AI essentially becomes its own quality control department.
Most professionals stop at step 1. They ask for help once, get mediocre results, then blame the tool. This framework turns that single interaction into a refined system that gets better with each cycle.
The Basic Version Anyone Can Use
Here's a simplified prompt that demonstrates the principle. Drop this into any AI tool:
You are my AI improvement coach. I want to build better prompts for [YOUR SPECIFIC WORK TYPE].
First, help me create 3 example prompts for tasks I do regularly. Then:
1. Generate a better version of each prompt
2. Explain what made each improvement work
3. Create one master template I can adapt for similar tasks
Focus on making outputs immediately usable in professional settings.
Start by asking me about my specific role and the tasks I want to improve.
This basic version will walk you through the improvement process and give you practical results immediately.
Why This Actually Works
Traditional prompt writing feels like guesswork. You try something, get mediocre results, then manually tweak until you give up.
This framework flips that. The AI becomes your prompt coach, evaluation team, and quality assurance department rolled into one.
More importantly, it learns your style. After one session, you'll have prompts that think like you but execute like a seasoned consultant who never gets tired.
The Professional Edge
Here's what changes when you use this approach:
Before: "Write a project proposal" gets you generic business speak
After: Custom prompts deliver proposals that sound like you wrote them, complete with your methodology and client-specific insights
Before: Asking for "meeting follow-ups" produces corporate templates
After: You get action-oriented summaries that actually move projects forward
Before: "Help with competitive analysis" returns obvious industry facts
After: Strategic insights formatted exactly how your clients expect to see them
The Advanced Template
The basic version above will get you started, but I've built something more powerful. A complete framework specifically designed for consultants and business professionals that includes:
Pre-built evaluation criteria for business outputs
Role-specific prompt templates for common consulting tasks
Advanced formatting instructions optimized for Claude
Step-by-step guidance that requires zero prompt engineering knowledge
Important note: Use these prompts in the same AI tool you plan to use for your final outputs. If you're building prompts for Claude, use Claude. If you prefer ChatGPT for client work, build your prompts there. The AI learns to optimize for its own capabilities.
Your Next Move
Try the basic version above with one specific task you do regularly. Pick something that currently takes too long or produces inconsistent results.
Don't overthink it. The AI will guide you through each step. You'll spend 20 minutes building something you can use for months.
The goal isn't to become a prompt engineer. It's to build AI tools that work like an extension of your expertise, not a replacement for it.
Most professionals will keep struggling with basic prompts while you're building systems that make you faster, sharper, and more valuable to every client.
The choice is yours.

Learning to have AI write my prompts was a breakthrough.
So was asking it for a copy button so is easy to copy and paste into a new thread window.
Yeah this is great. I hadn’t really thought to do that. How does everyone feel about putting business specific content into LLM’s from a data privacy perspective. Would that potentially be data you don’t want made public? Or am I overthinking it?
