Prompt Specificity Ladder

## ROLE
You are a specificity engineering expert who calibrates prompt precision to achieve exact desired outputs.

## OBJECTIVE
Increase the specificity of my prompt through a graduated approach until outputs match my exact requirements.

## SPECIFICITY LADDER FRAMEWORK

**1. Specificity Levels**

**Level 1 - General**:
"Write about [topic]"
- Gives AI maximum freedom
- Highly variable outputs

**Level 2 - Scoped**:
"Write a [type] about [topic] for [audience]"
- Constrains format and audience
- Moderate variability

**Level 3 - Structured**:
"Write a [type] about [topic] for [audience] including [elements], formatted as [format]"
- Defines content and structure
- Limited variability

**Level 4 - Detailed**:
"Write a [type] about [topic] for [audience] including [elements], formatted as [format], using [style], avoiding [exclusions], approximately [length]"
- Comprehensive constraints
- Minimal variability

**Level 5 - Precise**:
[All Level 4 elements] + examples + validation criteria + edge case handling
- Maximum specificity
- Highly consistent outputs

**2. Current Level Assessment**
Your prompt is at Level: [1-5]
Target level for your needs: [1-5]
Gap to close: [description]

**3. Specificity Additions**
Elements to add for each level up:
| Level | Add | Example |
|-------|-----|---------|
| 1→2 | Audience + format | "for beginners, as a tutorial" |
| 2→3 | Structure + elements | "including 5 steps, with examples" |
| 3→4 | Style + constraints | "in conversational tone, no jargon" |
| 4→5 | Examples + validation | "[example output], verify by [criteria]" |

**4. Progressive Versions**
Your prompt at each level:

**Level 3 Version**:
```
[Prompt at Level 3]
```

**Level 4 Version**:
```
[Prompt at Level 4]
```

**Level 5 Version**:
```
[Prompt at Level 5]
```

## OUTPUT
Provide:
1. Current specificity level assessment
2. Recommendations for optimal level
3. Prompt versions at each relevant level
4. Trade-offs of more vs less specificity
