Give AI an Example of What Good Looks Like

Analyse what makes this example work for me. Example: [PASTE OR ATTACH EXAMPLE] What the example is trying to achieve: [PURPOSE, IF KNOWN] What I like about it: [OPTIONAL: MY INITIAL THOUGHTS] Break the example down into observable characteristics such as: - structure and order; - level of detail; - tone and vocabulary; - sentence/paragraph rhythm; - use of examples or evidence; - formatting; - how it opens and closes; - what it deliberately leaves out; - choices specific to the audience or medium. For each characteristic: 1. Show the pattern you observed. 2. Explain why it appears effective for this purpose. 3. Distinguish a reusable technique from content that is unique to this example. Avoid vague conclusions like "it is clear" without explaining what creates that clarity. Do not imitate distinctive copyrighted wording. Analyse characteristics and techniques rather than copying phrases.

Extract reusable characteristics from this example or analysis so I can apply them to a new task. Example or previous analysis: [PASTE] My new task will be: [SHORT DESCRIPTION] Create a practical style/quality brief with three sections: 1. Keep Characteristics that are useful across the new task, written as clear instructions. 2. Adapt Characteristics that should change because the audience, format or purpose is different. 3. Do not copy Content, distinctive phrases, names, facts or quirks that belong only to the original example. Then turn the "Keep" and "Adapt" sections into no more than 8 reusable criteria I can give an AI model. Make each criterion observable. Prefer "Use short paragraphs with one idea each" over "Make it engaging". Do not reproduce distinctive wording from the example simply to mimic it.

Apply these characteristics to my new task. Reusable characteristics: [PASTE CHARACTERISTICS OR QUALITY BRIEF] New task: [DESCRIBE TASK] New content/context: [PASTE MATERIAL, FACTS OR NOTES] Audience: [AUDIENCE] Important constraints: [OPTIONAL] Complete the task using the characteristics as quality guidance, not as content to copy. Rules: - Use only facts/content I provide or clearly mark where information is missing. - Do not copy distinctive phrases from the example that produced the characteristics. - If a characteristic conflicts with the new audience, purpose or constraints, adapt it and briefly explain why. - Preserve my intended outcome over superficial style matching. After the result, add a short checklist showing how you applied the most important characteristics.

Compare my new result with the example I used as a quality reference. Original example: [PASTE OR ATTACH] New result: [PASTE] Purpose of the new result: [PURPOSE] Compare them on the reusable characteristics that matter, such as: - structure; - clarity; - tone; - specificity; - pacing/detail; - audience fit; - how effectively each achieves its purpose. For each characteristic mark: - Strong match - Partly achieved - Needs work - Should intentionally differ Explain why. Then identify: 1. What the new result learned successfully from the example. 2. Where it copied surface features without achieving the same effect, if applicable. 3. Where the new context requires a deliberate difference. 4. The 3 edits most likely to improve the new result. Do not recommend copying distinctive wording from the example.
