Template Best Practices#
Follow these best practices to get the most out of templates and create effective custom templates:
Be Specific in Prompts
Well-crafted prompts produce better output. Include context, format requirements, and examples where helpful.
Consider Your Audience
Design templates with the end reader in mind. Executive summaries need different depth than technical analyses.
Use Meaningful Defaults
Set sensible default values for variables to speed up report creation and guide users.
Include All Essentials
Templates should be complete and ready to use. Include all necessary sections for the report type.
Common Template Mistakes
- Too generic: Templates that try to do everything often do nothing well
- Missing context: Prompts without sufficient context produce inconsistent results
- Unclear variables: Variables without documentation confuse users
- Wrong structure: Sections in illogical order hurt readability
