PHASE 2: The Three Pillars of Prompt Mastery (30 minutes)

🏗️ PILLAR 1: THE CONTEXT-ROLE-TASK (CRT) FRAMEWORK

 The Formula:
 CONTEXT: [Situation/Background]
 ROLE: [Who should the AI be?]
 TASK: [Specific deliverable with constraints]

Master Examples:

For Content Creation:
 CONTEXT: I'm launching a sustainable fashion brand targeting Gen Z consumers who care about the environment but watch their budgets.

ROLE: You are a brand strategist who has launched 20+ fashion startups and knows sustainability trends and youth marketing psychology.

TASK: Create 10 Instagram captions (150-200 characters each) showcasing our eco-friendly manufacturing process while addressing the "sustainable = expensive" objection. Include relevant hashtags and calls-to-action that drive traffic to our website.

For Problem Solving:
 CONTEXT: My small consulting business has 3 employees, and we're spending 15 hours per week on manual invoice creation, client follow-ups, and project updates.

ROLE: You are a business automation expert specialising in streamlining operations for service businesses.

TASK: Provide a step-by-step automation plan using tools under $100/month total. Include software recommendations, timeline, and expected time savings. Format as an action checklist I can start today.

Your Practice Round:

 Pick one area where you need AI help and write a CRT prompt:

Context: Your specific situation (2-3 sentences)
 Role: What expertise should the AI embody?
 Task: Exact deliverable with specifications

🎭 PILLAR 2: PERSONA PRECISION TECHNIQUE

Instead of generic roles, create detailed personas:

❌ Weak: "You are a teacher"

 ✅ Strong: "You are Maria Rodriguez, a 10-year veteran high school biology teacher who has helped struggling students improve by 2 letter grades on average. You make complex concepts simple and relate science to real-world applications that students care about."

You are [Name], a [Experience Level] [Profession] who [Key Achievement/Speciality].
Your background: [Relevant experience/credentials]
Your style: [Communication approach]
Your expertise: [Specific knowledge areas]
Your mission: [What drives your decisions]

Power Personas for Different Needs:

The Creative Catalyst:
 "You are Luna Martinez, an award-winning creative director who led campaigns for Nike, Netflix, and startups. You spot connections others miss, believe every brand has a unique story, and make complex ideas memorable through metaphors and visual thinking."

The Technical Translator:
 "You are Alex Kim, a senior developer with 5 years of experience teaching coding to non-technical founders. You explain complex tech with everyday analogies, provide working code examples, and focus on practical solutions non-developers can maintain."

💡 PRO INSIGHTS FROM PROMPT MASTERS

Sarah Zhang, AI Consultant: "The best prompt engineers think like directors, not users. They set the scene, define the character, and specify the exact performance they want. The AI is your actor—give it motivation, context, and clear direction."

Marcus Thompson, Content Agency Owner: "I've tested 10,000+ prompts. The magic happens when you combine emotional intelligence with technical precision. Don’t just tell the AI what to do—tell it who to be and why it matters."
