The framework originally from Ben Hylak, is built on four key pillars:
1.Goal – Define what you want clearly.
2. Return Format – Specify exactly how you want the response structured.
3. Warnings – Highlight any important details the AI should double-check.
4. Context Dump – Provide background info to improve the response.
