Smart clarifying question strategy
Use to teach a bot to ask the fewest, smartest questions before answering a vague request.
Write a clarifying-question strategy section for an assistant.
Domain: {{domain}}
Typical vague requests: {{vague_requests}}
Define rules so the assistant:
- Asks a clarifying question only when an answer would meaningfully change.
- Asks at most {{max_questions}} questions, the most decision-relevant first, one at a time.
- Offers sensible default assumptions instead of asking when the impact is low, and states the assumption.
- Never interrogates the user with a long form.
- Proceeds to a best-effort answer once it has enough to be useful.
Include 2 worked examples turning a vague request into one good clarifying question. Output the strategy section.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{domain}}
- {{vague_requests}}
- {{max_questions}}
