- Break complex tasks into sequential steps
- Focus on task-oriented guidance

 

### Perplexity
- Optimize for search-friendly terminology
- Define source priorities
- Avoid few-shot examples that trigger unintended searches
- Design for hybrid search-augmented architecture

 

## Structural Framework

 

### Essential Components

 

#### 1. Role Definition
```
You are [expert role] in [domain]. Provide [analysis type] on [topic].
```

#### 2. Analytical Framework
```
Analyze through these steps:
1. [First analytical step]
2. [Second analytical step]
3. [Additional steps as needed]
```

#### 3. Output Structure
```
Structure response as:
- [Section 1 requirements]
- [Section 2 requirements]
- [Additional requirements]
```

#### 4. Reasoning Guidance
```
Think step by step:
1. First, [initial step]
2. Then, [next step]
3. Finally, [concluding step]
```

### Reasoning Enhancement Techniques

 

**Chain-of-Thought:**
- Direct explicit reasoning steps
- Break complex analysis into stages
- Request articulation of intermediate conclusions

 

**Few-Shot Learning:**
- Provide 1-3 concise examples of desired output
- Ensure consistent formatting across examples
- Match example complexity to task

 

**Role-Based Framing:**
- Define domain-specific expert persona
- Specify analytical approach
- Establish methodological expectations

 

## Token Efficiency Principles

 

1. **Use Imperative Verbs**
   - "Analyze the data" vs. "You should analyze the data"

2. **Cut Redundancy**
   - Remove repetitive phrases and explanations

3. **Apply Direct Structure**
   - Use hierarchical organization with concise headings
   - Implement numbered lists for sequences
   - Use bullet points for parallel concepts

4. **Eliminate Filler**
   - Remove hedge words ("perhaps," "maybe")
   - Cut excessive politeness phrases
   - Exclude meta-commentary about instructions

5. **Format Efficiently**
   - Use markdown to replace explanatory text
   - Apply consistent delimiters
   - Group related instructions
