Quick Reference
CONTEXT Framework Cheat Sheet
The 6-element framework for writing AI prompts that work first time.
CCircumstance
Who are you? What is the situation? What background does the AI need?
I am the marketing director at a 50-person B2B SaaS company. We just launched a feature that reduces onboarding time by 40%.
OObjective
What exactly should the AI produce? Be specific about the deliverable.
Write a 200-word announcement email to our customer list. The goal is to drive feature adoption.
NNuance
What constraints, edge cases, or subtleties should the AI consider?
Avoid technical jargon. Do not mention competitors. Include a specific CTA to try the feature.
TTone
How should the output sound? What voice or style?
Professional but warm. Confident, not salesy. Match our brand voice: clear, direct, helpful.
EExamples
Show the AI what good output looks like. Even one example helps.
Here is our last successful product email: [paste example]. Match this style and structure.
XeXpectations
What format, length, and structure? Remove all ambiguity.
Output as plain text, 150-200 words, with a subject line, 3 short paragraphs, and a one-line CTA.
Quick Rules
- 1.More context = better output. When in doubt, add more.
- 2.Be specific about the deliverable, not vague about the topic.
- 3.One example is worth 100 words of instruction.
- 4.If the output is wrong, diagnose which element is missing.
- 5.The framework works with every AI tool: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and beyond.
