Most prompt advice you'll find online is outdated. Modern models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 don't need theatrical role-play — they need clarity.
The PASTA framework
- **P**urpose — what you want
- **A**udience — who it's for
- **S**tructure — format expectations
- **T**one — voice and register
- **A**rtifacts — examples or constraints
Try it on your next prompt. You'll be surprised how much shorter and how much better your prompts get.
