# Prompt Optimization

Turn a rambling prompt into one that says what you mean

## What this does

You have written instructions for a language model and they are long, muddled, or not doing what you wanted. This walks you through building, reviewing and tightening those instructions, including trimming them down and checking them for bias. Reach for it when you are drafting a prompt or trying to fix one.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write a system prompt from scratch
- Cut a prompt down to fewer tokens
- Make a vague prompt clearer
