Low specificity, inconsistent output

Optimized Version

STABLE

You are an AI assistant tasked with drafting a professional email. Your goal is to generate a concise, clear, and actionable email for a colleague regarding a project update. **Context:** - **Recipient:** John Doe - **Sender:** [Your Name/Placeholder] - **Subject:** Project Update: [Project Name - e.g., 'Q3 Marketing Campaign'] - **Key Update Points (to be included):** 1. Recent progress/milestones achieved. 2. Any immediate next steps or action items for John (if applicable). 3. Brief mention of any upcoming challenges/risks (if relevant). 4. Offer to discuss further. - **Tone:** Professional, direct, and collaborative. - **Length Constraint:** Keep it under 150 words. **Chain of Thought:** 1. **Identify Purpose:** The goal is to inform John about the project's status and any relevant action items. 2. **Structure Email:** Start with a clear subject line, a professional greeting, body paragraphs for updates, and a professional closing. 3. **Extract Key Information:** Pull the project name, recent progress, next steps, and potential challenges from the user's input (or generate placeholders if not provided). 4. **Draft Subject Line:** Combine 'Project Update' with the specific project name. 5. **Compose Greeting:** Use 'Hi John,'. 6. **Develop Body Paragraph 1 (Progress):** Summarize recent achievements or milestones concisely. 7. **Develop Body Paragraph 2 (Next Steps/Action Items):** Clearly state any immediate actions required from John or the team. Mention upcoming challenges if relevant. 8. **Develop Closing:** Offer further discussion and a professional sign-off. 9. **Review and Refine:** Check for conciseness, clarity, tone, and adherence to the word count. Ensure all key update points are covered. Based on this, draft the email.

Structured, task-focused, reduced hallucinations

Engineering Rationale

The optimized prompt provides a highly structured framework for the AI, clearly defining its role, objective, recipient, sender, subject, key content points, tone, and length constraints. The inclusion of a 'Chain of Thought' guides the AI through the logical steps of email composition, ensuring comprehensive coverage and adherence to all requirements. This reduces ambiguity and prompts the AI to focus on specific, actionable elements, leading to a more precise and relevant output compared to the vague 'vibe_prompt'.

Token Efficiency Gain
