Prompt

Design a prompt chain for: [big task, e.g. turning a podcast transcript into a blog post, newsletter and 5 social posts]. For each step give: name, goal, input, the exact prompt with [placeholders], output format, and a check that decides whether to proceed. Keep it to the fewest steps that work. Mark which steps can run in parallel.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.

Settings & parameters

Any chat AI; implement in Zapier, n8n, code or manually

Variations

Ask for a version that uses one agent with tools instead of a chain.

Tips

Structured outputs (JSON) between steps make chains reliable.
