Tips

Prompt Tips Tested on Claude, GPT and Gemini

I got tired of hunting for prompting tips that actually work, so I built a place to collect and test them.

18 tips tested 13 models 4,938 answers scored

17 tips, from 18 tested claims: the examples family reports two claims on one page.

How to read this

Each tip rests on a claim tested as a paired comparison on a fixed task set. Across 54 tested pairs the verdicts are 23 In free drift, 16 Stable, 14 Unobservable, 1 Past the horizon.

No measured effect: could not be told from no effect; Helped: the tip raised the score. Under a tip that does not recommend it, the same result reads Holds; Could not measure: the test could not measure it; Scored worse: measured worse.

7 of 7Held on at least one model, with the models named where it did not.
Helped
Stop made-up answerslead
Tell the model it is allowed to say it does not know. Make that an acceptable answer.
How to use itAdd a line saying that if the text does not answer the question, replying I do not know is fine. Put it next to your question.
Pass rate up 80 to 100 points on all three models.

Getting clean JSON back
Show the model the exact shape you want back. Write out the field names instead of just asking for JSON.
How to use itPut a small example of the structure in your prompt. List every field you need and what kind of value it holds.

Showing examples
Give one good example of the answer you want. A second or third adds very little.
How to use itPaste one example in the format you need. Add more only for formats that are tricky to describe in words. This helped a little on 11 of 12 models tested, under our bar for a clear win.

Getting the length right
Ask for an exact word count as an instruction. A bare number misses by a lot.
How to use itSay exactly how many words you want, in those words, rather than leaving a number next to the task. Expect the answer to land within a few percent of the number you asked for.
Pass rate up 68 to 95 points on all three models.

Giving the model a job title
You have probably heard you should tell the model to act as an expert.
Giving the model a job title did not change answer quality in our tests. Write a clearer question instead.
What to do insteadSpend those words on the task. Say what you want, who will read it, and what a good answer has to cover.
Rubric mean moved at most 0.13 points on all three models, inside the margin every time.

You have probably heard that rules in the system prompt stick better than rules in the message.
Where you put your standing rules did not change how well the model kept them.
What to do insteadPut rules wherever is convenient, and repeat them if the chat runs long.

Questions about recent events
You have probably heard that telling the model its knowledge may be out of date makes it more careful.
Telling the model its knowledge may be out of date makes it hedge more.
What to do insteadOnly add it for questions about recent events, and check the marks: on Claude it made answers worse.
Pass rate up 41 points on GPT and 30 points on Gemini, and scored worse on Claude by 23 points.

Offering the model money
Offering the model a tip made answers longer. We could not measure whether they got better, which is what the claim is really about.
Answer length rose by 44 to 180 words, but this metric has no threshold, so no verdict follows.

Every verdict, by model

One row per tip, one column per model, on the instrument that measured it. The two instruments are two tables and are never read as one set: the same model on the API and in Claude Code is two measurements, not two opinions.

Each cell is one measured pair: the verdict and the delta that cell holds. Nothing on this grid is averaged, across models, instruments or runs. Sorting orders rows by a column's delta; cells with no delta sort last in both directions. Fable 5 and Fable 5.1 are separate columns: they are two versions and this site does not merge them.
