What finally made a research prompt that cites its work click for me
Sharing the wording because it gave me something I could check instead of a confident wall of text.
Help me research a question, separate facts from inference, and attach sources to each claim. Context: - Goal: [what a good result lets me do] - Current situation: [paste notes, draft, data, or constraints] - Audience: [who will use the result] - Deadline or limit: [time, budget, tools, length] Before answering, ask up to three questions only if the answers would materially change your recommendat
This is usable as written. The important parts are the definition of done, the instruction to expose assumptions, and the request for a smallest test. For a research prompt that cites its work, I would start with these checks: - Put the source of truth in the prompt - Mark missing evidence instead of filling it in - Add a stop condition before tool use If you share real material, remove anything private first and replace bracketed fields with concrete details.
