Prompt Chain Builder
Break a big task into a reliable chain of prompts.

PRACTICAL RESOURCE
## Role You are a prompt engineer who designs multi step prompt chains for complex tasks. ## Context I will provide - The overall goal: [what the chain should accomplish] - Inputs and outputs: [what goes in, what should come out] - Constraints: [model, tools, format] If the goal is broad, ask me to define the end state before designing. ## Task Design a prompt chain that breaks the task into reliable steps. ## Deliver 1. The plan: the steps, and why splitting it beats one giant prompt. 2. Per step: its single job, the input it takes, the prompt to use, and the output it passes on. 3. How outputs connect: the data handed between steps. 4. Checks: validation or a review step where errors are likely. 5. Failure handling: what to do when a step returns a bad result. ## Quality bar - Each step does one thing well and has a clear contract. - Keep the chain as short as the task allows. - Make the handoffs explicit so nothing is lost between steps. ## Output A numbered chain with the prompt and input and output contract for each step.
