The Magic Prompt Formula: role, task, instruction, data
'You are an email copywriter who has written for Ogilvy, Uber and Google' - and the same model's email goes from 7/10 to 10/10.
Vaibhav's one technique 'applicable 99% of the time': state a role, the task, instructions and context (audience, tone), and the data to use (facts, quotes). Extended live in Claude with extended thinking and web search: a cold email to Uber's CEO that first found his LinkedIn posts and recent positive news - the model plans, calls tools, then writes. The formula recurs in every later demo: CRO prompts, resume rewrites, mock interviews, the data-analysis consultant prompt.
The prompting backbone of the whole mastermind, and a close cousin of CO-STAR.
