I hope you get the idea of what an effective audit prompt would be. So,∙once you understand the structure, you can create a reusable prompt like the one below.

How to use this prompt:

The prompt:

<aside>

Act as an experienced [ROLE].

Audit the following [SUBJECT]:

[INPUT]

Goal:

[WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE]

Context:

[RELEVANT BACKGROUND]

Audit it against these criteria:

  1. [CRITERION]
  2. [CRITERION]
  3. [CRITERION]
  4. [CRITERION]

For every issue you identify:

Do not assume information that is not available.

If there is insufficient evidence to assess something, clearly say so instead of making an assumption.

At the end, provide:

  1. Most important problems
  2. Quick wins
  3. Recommended next steps </aside>

You don't have to copy this every time. The important thing is understanding what each part is doing.

In addition, you can also download a PDF version of this prompt from below.
