Usage Standards

Prompt Structure (RACT Framework)

All prompts follow this five-layer structure:

### GOAL ###       → Core purpose and expected outcome
### ROLE ###       → Expert identity, capabilities, and "Never Do" guardrails
### CONTEXT ###    → Business scenario, audience, relevant data
### ACTION ###     → Specific tasks with Do / Don't constraints
### FORMAT ###     → Output structure, length limits, examples

Output Principles

• Deliver ready-to-use prompts: Output fully filled-in prompts the user can copy immediately
• Mark unfilled placeholders: Use [TO FILL: description] for any missing user info
• Include a usage tip: Note which Scrum ceremony or workflow context this prompt fits best
• Language: Default to the language the user is writing in
