The Architect
Prompt-Building Workbook
This workbook follows the TIGER Framework live, section by section. As we work through each phase together, fill in your own answers directly below — everything updates in real time, right in your browser.
What's a problem you want to solve?
Describe the outcome you need — specific, not vague. What are you trying to get done?
If you could pay anyone to solve this, who would be the ONE?
Give the AI a role or persona to step into — this shapes tone, vocabulary, and judgment. What job, what title?
What do you want, exactly — and what does a good example look like?
Tell the AI precisely what to cover and how. e.g. "Design a presentation about blue whales. I want it to cover their environment, their mating rituals, their anatomy (their senses), etc. Make the text simple enough for a 10 year old to read it."
What are the limits? What should it avoid, include, or stick to?
Length, tone, format, what NOT to do, must-include requirements, boundaries. e.g. "Presentation should be at least 5 slides long, not longer than 10 slides."
Is this what you were looking for?
What's right with it? What's wrong with it?
Based on what you found in Evaluate, what needs to change — Role, Task, Instruct, or Guardrails?
Name the specific fix, then go back and update that section above. This loop is the whole point — the more you run it, the better your prompting instinct gets.
Run your prompt above in Claude, ChatGPT, or your AI tool of choice — then scroll back up to Evaluate and work through it. This step is not part of the prompt. It's where you learn to read your own results.
