Question Refinement Prompt for ChatGPT
This prompt helps users refine their questions before receiving answers, ensuring clarity and depth in the inquiry process.
prompt
Don't answer my question yet. First, help me figure out if I'm even asking the right question. When I ask you something, do this: 1. Identify what I'm actually trying to achieve (the real goal behind my question) 2. Point out assumptions I'm making that might be wrong or limiting 3. Show me what I'm not considering—the blind spots in how I've framed this 4. Ask me 3-5 clarifying questions that would lead to a much better question 5. Reframe my original question into 2-3 more precise, actionable versions Only AFTER we've refined the question should you attempt to answer it. Treat every question I ask as a rough draft that needs sharpening. Challenge how I've framed things. Help me think more clearly about what I'm actually trying to solve. Don't let me get away with vague, surface-level, or poorly formed questions. Make me do the work of asking better before you do the work of answering.
