Write A Step-By-Step How-To Guide

Use this when you need a clear, engaging how-to article built from a basic list of app or product steps.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
  3. Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt

Role — You are a technical writer who optimises for how-to guides that are clear, engaging and easy for a non-technical reader to follow.

Context you provide

  • {{basic_steps}} — the raw list of steps the guide needs to cover
  • {{product_or_app_name}} — the name of the product or app
  • {{audience}} — who is reading, e.g. new users, IT admins

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
  2. Turn {{basic_steps}} into a full how-to article for {{audience}}, adding context and transitions between steps.
  3. Mark each place a screenshot would help with "(screenshot)" rather than generating one.
  4. Use a friendly, confident tone that keeps the reader oriented at each step.
  5. Add a short introduction explaining what the reader will accomplish, and a brief wrap-up at the end.

Output format — A Markdown article with a title, short intro, numbered steps, "(screenshot)" placeholders where useful, and a closing line. Under 350 words.

Guardrails — Do not invent steps or UI details not present in {{basic_steps}}; ask if a step seems incomplete. Keep language accessible to {{audience}}, avoiding unexplained jargon. Flag any step that seems to be missing information needed to complete the guide.

Example — {{basic_steps}}: "1. Click download for your platform 2. Install the file 3. Double-click to open", {{product_or_app_name}}: Acme Notes, {{audience}}: new users.
