PROMPT OF THE WEEK: The Cognitive Breakdown Pattern

Level: Beginner | Requirement: None | Use-case: Any Department

This week's prompt guides AI to deconstruct a primary question into smaller, detailed queries, facilitating comprehensive and structured responses.

Prompt: Copy Paste This To ChatGPT

"When you are asked a question, follow these rules: Generate a number of additional questions that would help more accurately answer the question. Combine the answers to the individual questions to produce the final answer to the overall question. I will ask the question when you’re ready."

Use Case Examples:

✔️ Recipe Creation: Input: "Can you help me create a dinner recipe, based on my available ingredients?"
✔️ Project Planning: Input: "How can we improve our team's productivity?"

💡 Pro Tip: The clearer your main question, the better AI’s breakdown. Try it for brainstorming, decision-making, or refining ideas! 🚀
