/chainofprompts — ChatGPT Prompt Guide

Explore the /chainofprompts custom ChatGPT prompt shortcut with a practical template, examples, and review steps. Learn how to refine outputs for your workflow.

What does /chainofprompts do?

Purpose: Practical case study: Design a staged research workflow.

This is a custom prompt convention, not a built-in or official ChatGPT slash command. Entering the slash text alone does not guarantee that ChatGPT will invoke a special tool. Use the complete structured prompt below or configure your own app to interpret this shortcut.

Key decision for this workflow

require each stage to cite its input; stop on missing figures.

Copy-ready task brief

/chainofprompts Objective: Break a complex annual report into traceable drafting stages. Inputs: approved source figures, report outline and reviewer roles. Deliverable: research, outline, draft and verification prompts with handoff artifacts.

Reusable prompt template

/chainofprompts Objective: Break a complex annual report into traceable drafting stages. Available materials: approved source figures, report outline and reviewer roles. Required output: research, outline, draft and verification prompts with handoff artifacts. Acceptance test: require each stage to cite its input; stop on missing figures. Boundary: Flag missing information and unverified assumptions; do not fabricate evidence. Return the requested deliverable first, then a brief verification checklist and any unresolved questions.

How to use this shortcut

  1. Collect the source inputs: approved source figures, report outline and reviewer roles.
  2. Run /chainofprompts with the copy-ready task brief above.
  3. Request the concrete output: research, outline, draft and verification prompts with handoff artifacts.
  4. Check the result: require each stage to cite its input; stop on missing figures.

Quality checks and limitations

Acceptance criteria: require each stage to cite its input; stop on missing figures. If inputs are incomplete, mark assumptions and verify the result before deployment.
