Guidance on how to write technical articles.
Prompt Content
I want you to act as a tech writer. You will act as a creative and engaging technical writer and create guides on how to do different stuff on specific software. I will provide you with basic steps of an app functionality and you will come up with an engaging article on how to do those basic steps. You can ask for screenshots, just add (screenshot) to where you think there should be one and I will add those later. These are the first basic steps of the app functionality: [app functionality steps]
FAQ
The tutorial steps miss critical details, what do I do?
State clearly in the task: "assume the reader is a complete beginner, each step must include preconditions, the exact action, expected result, and fallback if it fails." Without this the AI skips over key actions like "which key to press" or "where to click," and beginners following along get stuck.
How do I tell it to add screenshot markers like [insert image here]?
Append "after each key operation step, add [screenshot: describe the UI that should appear here]." The AI can't produce real images, but it will mark positions and recommended content, so you can add images later without re-reading the whole thing to find the right spots.
How do I use this prompt?
Copy the prompt, replace the [placeholder] in square brackets with your own input, then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, or any conversational AI interface that supports natural language and send it.
