Best prompts for ChatGPT

Updated Oct 25, 2026. Checked daily.

These tips are drawn from OpenAI's official prompting guide. Each one links the source.

  1. Put standing instructions, such as tone and a correct example, where they outrank the one-off request. Source
  2. Separate identity, instructions, and examples instead of one undifferentiated block. Source
  3. Markdown and XML both work for marking off sections of a long prompt. Source
  4. Include the context the answer depends on, instead of assuming the model already has it. Source
  5. Say the format, the length, and what to leave out. Current models follow specific instructions. Source
  6. Keep a copy of a prompt that worked. Behavior can change when the model changes. Source
