A quick recap before we build

You have learned all four parts of the RTDF framework. Here they are together one more time:

R
Role
Who the AI is and who it is helping
T
Task
Exactly what you want the AI to produce
D
Detail
All the specific information the AI needs
F
Format
Length, tone, structure, and ending

Now it is time to use all four together. The builder below will guide you through each part and then assemble your complete prompt automatically.
