Technique 1: The Progressive Format Build

Start simple, then add complexity:

```text Round 1: "Create a project update" Round 2: "Create a project update with sections for progress, risks, and next steps" Round 3: "Create a project update with: - Progress (3 bullets max) - Risks (numbered, with mitigation) - Next steps (with owners and dates)" Round 4: [Add full template] ```text

Technique 2: The Format Fusion

Combine multiple formats for comprehensive outputs:

```text Create a document that includes: 1. Executive summary (using BLUF format) 2. Detailed analysis (using SWOT structure) 3. Action plan (using SMART goals template) 4. Communication plan (using RACI matrix) ```text

Technique 3: The Conditional Format

Different formats based on conditions:

```text If [condition], use Format A: - [Structure A]

If [different condition], use Format B: - [Structure B]

Example: If the risk is HIGH, include detailed mitigation plan. If LOW, just mention monitoring approach. ```text
