🔍 What Are Prompt Patterns and Why They Matter
Prompt patterns are reusable templates for giving instructions to AI in a way that consistently improves output quality. Think of them like mental algorithms for language. Once mastered, they help you get ChatGPT to reason, format, critique, and create with greater precision.

 
🧰 Core Prompt Patterns (Foundational)
1. Persona Pattern
Tell the AI to take on a role
Example: Act as a business strategist with expertise in African markets

2. Instruction Pattern
Direct the AI clearly with action verbs
Example: Summarize this article in five bullet points

3. Chain of Thought Pattern
Ask the AI to think step by step
Example: Let us solve this step by step

4. Few-Shot Pattern
Give examples before asking for output
Example: Show 2 to 3 input output pairs, then add a new input

5. Meta Language Pattern
Ask the AI to analyze tone, structure, or style
Example: Rewrite this paragraph to sound more confident

6. Rewriting Pattern
Transform text for a new audience or tone
Example: Rewrite this for a younger audience

7. Socratic Pattern
Use layered questions to guide deeper thinking
Example: What is the underlying assumption here

8. Simulation Pattern
Ask how different people would respond
Example: How would a small business owner respond to this pitch

9. Template Fill Pattern
Use a preset structure for the output
Example: Use this structure, Problem, Agitation, Solution

10. Role, Goal, Constraint Pattern
Set a role, define a goal, and add a limit
Example: You are a coach, Goal: save 500 dollars, Constraint: no credit cards

11. Hook, Story, Offer Pattern
Craft persuasive copy using a three part structure
Example: Write an Instagram caption with a hook, story, and offer

12. Contrast Pattern
Compare two things side by side
Example: Compare ChatGPT to Google Bard

13. Double Loop Pattern
Have the AI critique and revise its own work
Example: Write a pitch, then improve it after identifying weaknesses

14. Tree of Thought Pattern
Explore multiple options or solutions
Example: Give me three strategies and rank their effectiveness

15. Formatting Pattern
Tell the AI exactly how to format the response
Example: Present this info in a two column table

16. Multi Turn Pattern
Use a back and forth process to build something complex
Example: Start with an idea, then expand it into a full roadmap

 
🔬 Advanced Patterns (Next Level Control)
17. Constraint Satisfaction Pattern
Multiple requirements in one prompt
Example: Write a 150 word product description with 3 benefits in a conversational tone

18. Negative Prompting Pattern
Tell the AI what to avoid
Example: Explain quantum computing without jargon or formulas

19. Comparative Analysis Pattern
Systematic evaluation across multiple factors
Example: Compare these three marketing strategies by cost, risk, and ROI

20. Iterative Refinement Pattern
Ask for multiple rounds of improvement
Example: Start with a rough draft, then optimize it in stages

21. Context Injection Pattern
Provide deep background to steer results
Example: Given that our audience is busy executives, write a short mobile friendly summary

22. Perspective Shifting Pattern
View a problem from multiple angles
Example: Explain this from the view of customers, employees, and investors

23. Error Analysis Pattern
Spot flaws or weak spots in a plan or argument
Example: What could go wrong with this campaign, and how would you fix it

24. Scale Adaptation Pattern
Adapt an idea for different size scenarios
Example: How would this strategy change for a 5 person startup vs a 5,000 person company

25. Temporal Analysis Pattern
Break down effects over time
Example: Analyze this trend short term, 6 months, medium term, 2 years, and long term, 10 years

26. Audience Bridging Pattern
Explain something to different knowledge levels
Example: Explain blockchain to a 5 year old, then to a CEO, then to a developer

27. Synthesis Pattern
Combine multiple ideas or sources into one
Example: Summarize three research articles into one strategy

28. Scenario Planning Pattern
Model future outcomes
Example: Create best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios for AI in education

29. Root Cause Analysis Pattern
Trace the problem back to its origin
Example: What caused this failure, Show the chain of events

30. Analogical Reasoning Pattern
Use analogies to simplify or inspire
Example: Explain our team like a jazz band managing a live performance

 
🔀 Pattern Combination Strategies
Sequential Combination
Use patterns in a specific order to build depth
Example: Persona plus Context Injection, followed by Few Shot plus Template Fill

Parallel Combination
Blend two or more patterns into one powerful prompt
Example: Persona plus Constraint plus Formatting: As a lawyer, explain this in 150 words using bullet points

Meta Pattern Usage
Ask AI to reflect on prompts themselves
Example: Which pattern would work best for this task and why

 
🧠 Expert Moves for Prompt Mastery
Pattern Stacking
Use 3 to 4 patterns at once
Example: As a senior analyst, Persona, break down this data, Chain of Thought, compare methods, Contrast, and format findings in a table, Formatting

Dynamic Pattern Switching
Change patterns mid conversation to dig deeper
Start with Instruction Pattern, then switch to Socratic or Tree of Thought if needed

Pattern Debugging
If AI gives weak responses
Use Meta Language to diagnose
Use Constraint Satisfaction to tighten the prompt
Use Negative Prompting to block fluff

Context Aware Pattern Choice
Match the pattern to the task
Strategy: Tree of Thought plus Scenario Planning
Writing: Rewriting plus Hook, Story, Offer
Analysis: Chain of Thought plus Error Analysis
