The CLEAR Prompting Framework
By David Franco

CLEAR is useful for straightforward tasks where clear expectations and actions are defined.

Acronym Breakdown:

  • Command: The primary instruction or task.

  • Language: Preferred language style or level.

  • Expectation: The desired outcome or output format.

  • Action: Specific actions to be taken.

  • Response: How the AI should present the information.

How to Apply:

Employ CLEAR when you need the AI to perform a direct task with specific output expectations.

Example:

Command: Summarize an article on climate change.

Language: Use simple language suitable for high school students.

Expectation: A concise summary highlighting key points.

Action: Read the provided text and extract main ideas.

Response: Present the summary in bullet points.

Prompt:

"Summarize the following article on climate change using simple language suitable for high school students. Provide a concise summary highlighting the key points in bullet points."

Play around with these frameworks and see how each generates different results.
