Operation: Productivity · EED Productivity Services

🧱 The RCTFE framework

RRole — give a role: "You are an experienced legal assistant."
CContext — give context: "We're working on a vendor contract."
TTask — a clear task: "Extract all the deadlines."
FFormat — ask for a format: "Table: clause | deadline."
EExamples — give an example: "e.g. Payment | 30 days."

≥3 of 5 = already a strong prompt.

⚡ Patterns that work

Role: "Act as…" focuses the tone.
Format: table / bullets / JSON / email.
Steps: "Think step by step."
Example: show one desired output (few-shot).
Iterate: "shorter", "more formal", "add risks".
Constraints: "Max 5 sentences."

❌ Weak → ✅ Strong

"write an email"

"You are a consultant. Write a short, professional email to a client who is postponing a meeting to next week. Polite, 4 sentences, propose a new date."

"summarize this"

"Summarize the document in 3 bullets + 1 recommended action. Business tone."

🧭 Bridge to your work
