Prompting

TRACI (opens in new window)  is one kind of prompting framework (other prompting frameworks include CREATE, RHODES, Goal-Context- Instructions) that is useful for engineering prompts of Generative AI.  The letters refer to various components of a prompt:

  • T-Task: Task refers to the type of output the prompt should achieve. For example a rubric, learning goals or a syllabus statement.
  • R-Role: Role refers to the persona generative AI should take on when responding. For example, an expert educator, a student advisor and instructional designer
  • A-Audience: Audience refers to the group to whom the response is written. For example, introductory biology students, graduate-level competitive study majors, doctor of pharmacy students.
  • C-Create: Create refers to the format of the output. For example, 200 words, a three-column table or an acrostic  poem.
  • I-Intent: Intent communicates the purpose of the response. For example, to promote a growth mindset or clearly communicate expectations.

Considering the TRACI model will  improve initial prompts and provide guidance as prompts are revised.
