FAQ
- What checks does the prompt debug checklist run?
- The checklist runs 7 checks: (1) Role defined — does the prompt include "you are", "act as", or "role"? (2) Clear task — does it start with an imperative verb? (3) Output format — does it mention JSON, list, format, etc.? (4) Examples provided — does it include example/e.g./for instance? (5) Constraints defined — does it include must/never/always/do not? (6) Context provided — is there meaningful non-instruction text? (7) Token budget — is the prompt under 4000 tokens?
- What happens when a check fails?
- Each failed check shows a red X icon and a suggestion explaining exactly what to add or change. For example, if no role is defined, it suggests adding a "You are a [role]" sentence at the start of the prompt.
- Is this checklist specific to a particular AI model?
- No. The checks reflect general prompt engineering best practices that apply across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, LLaMA, and other large language models.
Paste any prompt and get an instant automated checklist audit. The tool checks for role definition, clear task statement, output format specification, examples, constraints, sufficient context, and token budget. Each failed item shows a specific improvement suggestion. Green checkmarks for passing checks, red X for failures.
