Grok exact prompt words

To get Grok to give high-quality answers, the key is to propose clear, specific and structured prompt words (prompts). Here are the core principles and tips for designing effective questions:

1. Clarify goals and focus on issues

• ❌ Fuzzy question:

  "Tell me some knowledge about the universe."

  (The range is too wide, Grok cannot tell what information you need)

• ✅ Specific questions:

  "Please use popular language to explain the formation process of black holes and give examples."

  "What is the latest developments in NASA's current immigration program for Mars?"

2. Provide context

• ❌ Lack of background:

  "How to fix this error?"

  (The programming language, error code or scenario is not specified)

• ✅ Supplementary details:

  "I encountered an error 'KeyError: 'column_name'' when using Pandas in Python, how to fix it?"

3. Structured instructions

Use step-by-step, list or role settings to make the answer more systematic:

• Example 1 (step by step):

  "Please explain in 3 steps how to generate realistic style pictures with Stable Diffusion: 1. Model selection 2. Prompt word design 3. Parameter adjustment."

• Example 2 (role settings):

  "You are a senior fitness coach. Please design a two-week fat burning plan for the 30-year-old office sitting crowd, including dietary advice."

4. Limit scope and format

• ❌ Open question:

  "Write a chapter."

• ✅ Limited requirements:

  "Writing a 500-word short article about AI ethics requires two key points: data privacy and algorithm bias, and using academic style."

5. Avoid ambiguity and use words accurately

• ❌ Polysynonyms problem:

  "What is the latest achievement of Apple?"

  (Refer to the company or fruit?)

• ✅ Clear object:

  "What technological breakthroughs will Apple make in the AR field in 2023?"

6. Advanced skills

• Comparative question:

  "What are the advantages and disadvantages of Python and R in the field of data analysis?"

• Hypothetical question:

  "If a room temperature superconductor is invented, which industries will it have a disruptive impact?"

• Error correction question:

  "The quantum entanglement I understand is XXX, right? Please correct it and add it if there is any error."

7. Additional instructions for optimizing answer quality

• Adjust the tone:

  "Explanation of photosynthesis in language that junior high school students can understand."

• Specify source:

  "According to the 2023 Nature paper, a brief description of new treatments for Alzheimer's disease."

• Avoid content:

  "Explanation of blockchain technology, but don't involve the price of Bitcoin."
