      "q": "What is the RGCF prompt framework?",
      "a": "RGCF stands for Role, Goal, Context, Format. A high-performance prompt names the role the model should play, states the goal explicitly, supplies the relevant context once, and specifies the output format. RGCF prompts outperform freeform prompts on every published benchmark by 15-30% on first-pass accuracy."
    },
    {
      "q": "Should I use system prompts or user prompts?",
      "a": "Use a system prompt for the role, goal, format, and guardrails. Use the user prompt only for the request itself plus task-specific context. This keeps your prompt cache warm (system prompts cache; user prompts don't)."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long should an effective AI prompt be?",
      "a": "As short as possible while still specifying role, goal, context, and format. For most tasks 50-300 tokens is the sweet spot. Over 1000 tokens and you are usually doing the model's job for it — break it into a multi-step chain instead."
