TutorialsThe 5-Piece Prompt Formula
The soul of the course: Role + Task + Background + Format + Constraints, plus the advanced trick of asking three questions first — remember this and you can write prompts yourself.
The Soul of the Course: 5 Pieces
| Role | Task | Background | Format | Constraints |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What identity it works in | What it should do | What it should know | What the output looks like | What it must not do |
| E.g. Douyin scriptwriter | E.g. write a script | E.g. account positioning, audience | E.g. hook + body + closing | E.g. under 90s, colloquial |
The 5 pieces are not a rigid template but a checklist — run through it before every prompt and fill in what's missing. The most common mistake is giving a task without background, leaving AI to guess.
Advanced Trick: Ask Three Questions First
Append this line to every prompt:
Before starting, ask me three questions to confirm the information.Why it works: AI asks back for missing details (account positioning, audience, length preference) before starting — rework drops dramatically.
Formula Cheat Card
Remember this structure and you can write prompts without templates:
【Role】You are a ______ (identity + experience + specialty)
【Task】Help me ______ (what to do + what to produce)
【Background】
- Account positioning: ______
- Target audience: ______
- Other relevant info: ______
【Format】
Output as a table/sections/bullets with these fields: ______
【Constraints】
- Length limit: ______
- Style limit: ______
- Forbidden: ______
Before starting, ask me three questions to confirm the information.Core Principle
AI produces the first draft and fills gaps; you judge and decide. Treat AI as a very smart subordinate — you assign the work and make the final call.

Concepts and Jargon
Understand the fundamentals first: 4 core concepts — talking-head, hook, completion rate, agent — plus a 6-scenario table showing what AI can do.
3 Hands-On Prompts
Run the case study 'how new hires quickly fit into a team' in 20 minutes: prompt A for topic + hooks, prompt B for the full script, prompt C to package the flow into an agent.
