Break one big prompt into smaller steps

Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini

What you’ll be able to do

Split an overloaded prompt into a short chain that works better.

The problem

Cramming everything into one prompt produces shallow, muddled answers.

What this skill does

AI breaks the task into a sequence of focused prompts.

When to use it

  • Use when one mega-prompt keeps underperforming.
Juni, the One AI Skill guide

Juni’s tip

Juni says: one job per prompt — chain them for big tasks.

The prompt

Main prompt
This prompt tries to do too much: [prompt]. Break it into a short sequence of smaller prompts that build on each other.

Weak vs. better

✗ Weak prompt

this prompt isn't working

✓ Better prompt

Split this overloaded prompt — [prompt] — into a 3-4 step chain. For each step give its prompt and what to carry into the next. Order so each step's output feeds the following one.

Why this works

Sequencing focused steps lets the AI do each well instead of everything poorly at once.

Practice task
