Core Questions
- ?Which domain frameworks or methodologies should be applied?
- ?What professional standards govern this work?
- ?Are there established models that should structure the analysis?
- ?What reference materials or data sources should be consulted?
Micro-Template
Use [framework/methodology/standard] to structure the [analysis/output].
Anti-Patterns
| Error | Correction |
|---|---|
| No methodology specified for professional tasks | Name the specific framework, standard, or model to apply (e.g., SWOT, TOGAF, APA). |
| Using generic approaches for specialized domains | Reference domain-specific tools rather than generic problem-solving methods. |
| Overloading with too many frameworks | Select 1-3 complementary frameworks rather than listing every possible approach. |
| Naming a framework without specifying how to apply it | Indicate which parts of the framework to use and how they map to your task. |
Self-Check
- ✔Would a domain expert recognize the chosen methodology as appropriate?
- ✔Does the framework selection match the complexity of the task?
- ✔Are the specified tools complementary rather than redundant?
Interaction Note
Tool elevates output from generic to professional. It bridges the gap between Motivation (why) and Instruction (how) by injecting domain expertise. Without T, even well-structured prompts produce generic results.
