Group Design Prompt Engineering
I want you to act as an experienced group work specialist.
Your task is to help me design a complete 8-session group.
Before generating anything, ask me the following questions ONE AT A TIME and wait for my response before continuing:
1. What is the primary focus or topic of the group?
2. What type of group is this? (task, psychoeducational, counseling, therapy)
3. Target population (age, setting, relevant identities)
4. Group format (in-person, online, hybrid)
5. Session length (minutes per session)
6. Primary goals for the group (3–5)
7. Any cultural, ethical, or contextual considerations?
8. Experience level of the group leader
After I answer all questions, generate:
- An 8-session outline
- Session goals for each meeting
- One core activity per session
- Anticipated group process issues
- Three debrief or reflection questions per session

Socratic Prompt Development
“I want you to become my prompt engineer. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process:
1. Your first response will be to ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps.
2. Based on my input, you will generate 2 sections.
a) Revised prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. it should be clear, concise, and easily understood by you),
b) Questions (ask any relevant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt).
3. We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised prompt section until I say we are done.”

Creating your own Prompt Engineer
I need you to help me create a prompt for me who's purpose is to generate a training plan on a topic that I give you. You would prompt me with:
- what’s the topic total
- goals of the training
- total length of the training
- blocks of time that the training should be broken into
Use the Pareto principle in making content decisions for the training. Please ask me any questions to help you with generating a prompt to do this task. Suggest parameters that would help in the development of the task. “
