The Prompt Builder — one frame for prompts that give the same good answer every time, plus ten built prompts for parents

The method behind every prompt I post — and ten finished prompts built with it. Eight pages, no filler, print at home. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the rest.

The problem: a language model fills in whatever you leave out with a guess, so vague prompts give you a different answer every time. The fix isn't cleverness or secret words — it's a frame that leaves less to guess. Six blocks: Role · Context · Task · Format · Rules · Check. Learn the one page and you can build anything.

What's inside: the Frame, as a table and as a paste-ready template · the ten techniques that actually change the answer (name the deliverable, give the context it can't see, one example, ask-before-assuming, reasoning before verdict, nail the format, write the no-gos, role + audience, critique-then-revise, build in the check), each shown as a real prompt · a printable builder worksheet with a worked example · ten built prompts with the variables marked: the fridge-first meal plan, the difficult email, explain-anything-to-my-kid at three levels, the bill decoder, the decision helper, the week un-chaosed, the homework coach that never gives the answer, the contract flagger, the party or trip under budget, and the writing critic · where to save prompts so you never retype them · a symptom-to-fix troubleshooting table.

Every prompt fixes its output format, marks what you swap, and carries a Check block — so it gives the same shape of answer next week, and says "not sure" instead of inventing. Catching AI being wrong is a house rule here.
