AI models often produce unstructured or imprecise answers. Anyone who wants better results must adjust their prompts accordingly. One way to do this efficiently is with prompt decorators – clear instructions at the beginning of a prompt that control the AI’s response behavior.
In this post, I show how to teach the AI to understand these decorators and how to use them afterward.
Explain Prompt Decorators to the AI
The AI is given a clear definition of the decorators, for example „+++StructuredAnswer“, so that it understands their meaning. The instruction to apply them in future answers ensures that they don’t apply to just a single question. If the AI doesn’t have long-term memory, this introduction must be repeated in each new session.
Usage Example
After the above introduction, the AI can be controlled directly with prompt decorators. These decorators lead to a structured, fact-based answer with a direct comparison.
