Set a Clear Format
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can control the shape of an answer so it is easy to use.
The problem
A wall of text is hard to use when you needed a list or a table.
What this skill does
Tell the AI the format you want and it will deliver in that shape. Bullets for quick scanning, a table to compare, steps to follow, or a short paragraph to read. The right format makes an answer far easier to use.
When to use it
- Use this whenever the shape of the answer matters for how you will use it.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: ask for the shape that helps you act. A table beats a paragraph when you are comparing.
The prompt
Try it live
Fill in the blanks — your ready-to-use prompt builds as you type.
Weak vs. better
give me lots of info about meal planning
Answer as a simple table with days and meals: a 5-day easy dinner plan for one person.
Why this works
Naming the format up front means the answer arrives ready to use, instead of needing you to reshape it.
Practice task
Ask the same question twice, once as bullets and once as a table, and see which suits you.
Self-check
- I told the AI the exact format I wanted.
- The answer arrived in that shape and is easy to use.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving the format open and getting a paragraph when you needed a list.
- Asking for a complex format for something that only needed one sentence.
