The Prompt Stack – AI Prompting Workbook (PDF) | ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini

You ask the AI. It answers something almost right. You re-ask. Twenty minutes later, you rewrite it yourself.

That's not the model's fault. It's a briefing problem, and nobody ever taught you how to brief an AI. The Prompt Stack fixes that.

It's not a list of prompts to copy. Copied prompts break the moment your task is different. This workbook teaches the skill underneath every good prompt: five layers, always in the same order, that turn vague answers into ones you can use.

Goal → Context → Constraints → Examples → Format

When an answer still misses, the Fix Loop shows you which layer to fix, instead of hitting "regenerate" and hoping.

What's inside

• Part One – The Science: 5 research findings on why prompts fail (Harvard/BCG, Science, ICLR, CHI), plus the guidance OpenAI and Anthropic publish themselves
• Part Two – The Stack: all 5 layers explained, 3 before/after teardowns (studying, work, writing), the Fix Loop and a symptom debugger
• Part Three – 7 worksheets: Prompt Audit, Stack Builder, New-Hire Brief, Example Bank, Fix Log, Frontier Map, 14-Day Practice Log
• Part Four – Your library: 10 reusable prompt templates, notes for each AI tool, and a one-page cheat sheet

Who it's for: students, professionals and freelancers who use AI every day but were never trained to use it well.

Details: 38 pages · 7 worksheets · 14 sources cited · A4 PDF · instant download · works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot

What it isn't: a prompt pack, a coding course or an API tutorial. No technical setup needed.
