Elena is explaining prompts to her team. The statement that correctly describes the prompt elements is: Prompts include instructions, context, data, and output indicators .
Instructions tell the user or system what to do.
Context provides the background information that helps understand what the prompt is about.
Data may be inputs or reference materials needed to respond.
Output indicators specify the expected form or type of response.
Prompts don't require a standardized technical format, an exclusive programming language, or to be limited to simple questions. They can be versatile and complex depending on the context they are being used in.
Applying the clarity dimension to prompt design involves: Write concise, straightforward task descriptions.
Being concise ensures that no unnecessary information clutters the instructions, which makes the task easier to understand.
Straightforward instructions aim to minimize confusion and ensure clear communication of the task requirements.
This approach is preferred over detailed audience analysis, including extensive industry context, or using technical terminology which can complicate the prompt rather than clarifying it.
