The Pattern
Vague vs Specific
| Vague | Better |
|---|---|
Look at our sales data | Analyze Q4 deals from @HubSpot closing in the next 30 days. Return a table with deal name, value, stage, owner, days since last activity, and next step. Flag deals over $50k with no activity this week. |
Help with customer emails | Search @Gmail for customer replies in the last 48 hours mentioning "billing" or "invoice". Draft a response for each. Do not send; include the source thread and confidence. |
Review this document | Read @msa.pdf. Extract termination, renewal, payment, liability, and data-processing clauses. Cite page numbers and flag anything that needs legal review. |
Ask For End-to-End Work
Doe is strongest when you ask for a finished outcome, not just a short answer.| Goal | Strong prompt |
|---|---|
| Market map | Build a market map of 100 AI startups in procurement. Include funding, headcount, product focus, buyer, recent signals, and source links. Return a spreadsheet and a short memo. |
| Pricing research | Review these 30 competitor pricing pages. Extract plans, limits, packaging, add-ons, and enterprise signals. Cite sources and create a comparison workbook. |
| Board prep | Use the Q1 metrics folder and connected CRM to create a board-ready KPI summary with risks, wins, charts, and open questions. |
| Retention analysis | Analyze retention by signup source and segment. Validate totals, chart cohorts, and explain the 3 most likely drivers. |
| Prospecting | Create a list of 100 target CFOs in mid-market SaaS. Include company, title, source, personalization angle, and draft outreach. Do not send. |
| Team update | Every Friday at 3pm PT, summarize shipped work, customer risks, and revenue updates from the connected sources. Draft a Slack update for review. |
Use @mentions
Type@ to reference the exact context Doe should use.
Ask Doe to Search First
If you do not know which file, thread, or app has the answer, say that. Doe can search before it reads deeply.Ask for a Durable Output
Doe can create or edit artifacts, not just answer.| Output | Prompt example |
|---|---|
| Edited document | Fill @vendor-form.pdf using @company-profile.docx. Save a completed PDF and tell me what fields were left blank. |
| Spreadsheet | Create a spreadsheet from this CSV with summary, assumptions, formulas, charts, and clean formatting. |
| Chart | Create a chart of monthly revenue by segment. Include the chart and the cleaned CSV. |
| Email draft | Draft three versions of the reply. Do not send until I approve. |
| Calendar draft | Draft calendar holds for these interview slots. Ask me before creating events. |
| Research memo | Cite every claim with source URLs and include a confidence section. |
