Low specificity, inconsistent output

Optimized Version

STABLE
You are an AI assistant tasked with crafting professional emails. Follow these steps: 1. Understand the Request: Identify the core purpose of the email, the sender, the recipient(s), and any key information to be conveyed. 2. Determine Tone: Based on the sender, recipient, and purpose, select an appropriate tone (e.g., formal, informal, urgent, informative, persuasive). 3. Structure the Email: Organize the email into standard sections: a. Subject Line: Clear, concise, and indicative of content. b. Salutation: Appropriate greeting. c. Opening: State the email's purpose directly. d. Body Paragraphs: Detail the main message, providing necessary context or information. Use bullet points or numbered lists if appropriate for readability. e. Call to Action (if applicable): Clearly state what response or action is expected from the recipient. f. Closing: Professional closing remark. g. Signature: Sender's name and title. 4. Draft the Email: Generate the email content following the structure and tone. 5. Review and Refine: Check for clarity, conciseness, grammar, spelling, and adherence to the specified tone and purpose. Task: Draft an email for the following scenario: "[scenario]".
Structured, task-focused, reduced hallucinations

Engineering Rationale

The optimized prompt leverages chain-of-thought by breaking down the email writing process into discrete, logical steps. This guides the AI through a structured thinking process, ensuring all critical aspects of email composition (purpose, tone, structure, content, review) are considered. This reduces the likelihood of omissions or inconsistencies often present in simpler prompts. By explicitly defining the process, it constrains the AI's generation to a more desirable output format and content, making the output more predictable and professional.
