The Prompt Architect

The 7W Blueprint Builder

AI Can Only Build What You Blueprint.

You're not just a prompt writer. You are the architect. Answer seven questions and walk away with a complete, expert-level AI prompt — ready to paste into Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI platform.

W1
Who Am I?
Tell AI about you as the professional.
From the Drafting Table
This is your professional foundation. The more specifically you describe your context, the more AI can tailor every response to sound like you — not a generic teacher.
W2
Who Is This For?
Tell AI about your students.
From the Drafting Table
Consider creating a reusable Class Profile document to attach to your prompts for even richer context.

⚠ Never include student names or personally identifiable information — describe your class as a group, not as individuals.
W3
What Do I Need?
Tell AI exactly what you're asking it to do.
From the Drafting Table
✗  "Create an exit ticket."
✓  "Generate three exit ticket questions that check for conceptual understanding of equivalent fractions, not just procedural accuracy, for 4th graders."

One is a request. One is a blueprint.
W4
What Form?
Tell AI what the output should look like.
From the Drafting Table
If you're feeding the output directly into a tech tool, say so — AI can format and structure content to fit the tool's requirements.
W5
What Does Good Look Like?
Tell AI your quality standard.
From the Drafting Table
Showing AI a model is more powerful than describing one. If you have a rubric or exemplar, attach it when you paste your blueprint. AI will use it as a quality benchmark, not just a reference.
W6
Where Am I Starting?
Tell AI what already exists so it builds on your work, not around it.
From the Drafting Table
AI doesn't know what you've already built. Without this W, it starts from scratch — giving you generic output that may not connect to your actual curriculum. Attach a curriculum resource or unit plan when you paste your blueprint for even better results.
W7
Why Does This Matter?
Tell AI the instructional purpose behind your request.
From the Drafting Table
This is the W most teachers skip — and the one that most transforms output when they don't. When AI understands why something matters, it optimizes for your goal, not just your task.

Including your "I Can" statements gives AI your clearest picture of what student success looks like.
