The "Vibe" Prompt

"Hey Grok, summarize this document for me. Thanks!"
Low specificity, inconsistent output

Optimized Version

STABLE
You are an expert summarizer. Your goal is to extract the most critical information concisely. Read the provided document carefully. DOCUMENT: """[DOCUMENT_CONTENT]""" To achieve an accurate and comprehensive summary, follow these steps: 1. **Identify the main topic:** Determine the core subject matter discussed. 2. **Extract key arguments/points:** List the primary claims, findings, or ideas presented. 3. **Note supporting evidence (if any):** Briefly mention statistics, examples, or expert opinions used to back up points. 4. **Identify the conclusion/outcome:** What is the ultimate takeaway or result? 5. **Synthesize into a concise summary:** Combine the extracted information into 3-5 sentences, ensuring clarity, coherence, and accuracy. Prioritize information that directly addresses the main topic and key arguments. Do not include extraneous details. Provide the summary now. Focus solely on objective information from the document.
Structured, task-focused, reduced hallucinations

Engineering Rationale

The optimized prompt provides clear instructions, defines a persona, and employs a chain-of-thought process. It explicitly breaks down the summarization task into manageable steps, guiding the model to identify key components (topic, arguments, evidence, conclusion) before synthesizing them. This structured approach reduces ambiguity and directs Grok-1 to produce a more focused, comprehensive, and accurate summary compared to the vague 'vibe_prompt'. The persona ('expert summarizer') encourages a higher quality output. Constraints on sentence count and the directive to avoid extraneous details also contribute to conciseness and relevance.

Token Efficiency Gain
The optimized_prompt should produce a summary that is demonstrably more relevant and informative than the vibe_prompt for various document types.
The summary generated by the optimized_prompt should consistently adhere to the requested sentence limit.
The optimized_prompt should reduce instances of hallucination or inclusion of irrelevant details compared to the vibe_prompt.
