Crafting Better
AI Instructions
Introducing the CRAFTED framework.
The core idea
Quality over quantity
The model already knows a great deal.
Distil the essence of your message from the sea of information.
A sharp brief beats a long one.
Meet CRAFTED
Seven parts of a good brief.
Context
Background facts
Role
The perspective
Audience
Who it is for
Format
The shape
Task
The deliverable
Exclusions
What to avoid
Documentation
The sources
Context
The background facts and constraints that shape the answer.
The client is reviewing their tax position for the current YA.
Role
The perspective to take: persona, expertise, and point of view.
Act as a professional Singapore tax adviser.
Audience
Who reads it, what they know, and the tone to use.
A first-time company director. Warm and reassuring.
Format
Structure, length, and output type. Style lives here too.
A short summary, then 3 to 5 bullets. Plain English.
Task
The deliverable you want, stated plainly and explicitly.
Advise which reliefs apply, and what to check before filing.
Exclusions
Topics, tones, clichés, and assumptions to keep out.
No hype or guarantees. Do not invent figures.
Documentation
Every fact needs a named source and a checked link.
Cite iras.gov.sg for any figures, with a working link.
It all lives in one tool
Seven ways to turn CRAFTED into working prompts.
1. Persona
CRAFTED, saved.
2. Search
Traces the source.
3. New-Topic
Drafts the brief.
4. Humaniser
Rewrites the draft.
5. Nobius
Cuts the padding.
6. Accounting
Extracts to tables.
7. Council
Debates the call.
Function 1 · Persona Prompt
Set your brief once, reuse it
Fill the seven CRAFTED fields, or let one-click quick actions do the typing for you.
Start from a persona
Myself, tax adviser, content creator, or one of five advisory personas.
Quick-action chips
Tone, style, structure, and output file (PPT, DOC, Excel, HTML) in one tap.
Exclusions & sources
Toggle common exclusions and recommended sources without typing.
Set as base
Pin your own Myself persona so the tool reopens with it ready.
Function 2 · Search Prompt
For simple searches
Turn any topic into a prompt that forces cited, checkable results.
Function 3 · New-Topic Prompt
When you don't know how to begin
Give a rough goal and the AI drafts a full CRAFTED brief you can refine.
Act as a prompt architect. Turn this goal into a CRAFTED prompt: "[YOUR GOAL]" Headers: Context, Role, Audience, Format, Task, Exclusions, Documentation.
Function 4 · Humaniser
Make AI text sound human
Paste a draft. It rewrites in a plainer, more human voice and returns just the rewrite.
Diagnose
Spots the AI tells: rule-of-three rhythm, smoothing connectors, generic phrasing.
Concrete
Makes vague claims specific, or marks gaps as [need: ___] to fill.
Voice
Varied sentence length, real opinions, contractions, no flourishes.
Keeps every fact. Adds nothing. Near the original length.
Function 5 · Nobius
Cut the padding, not the meaning
Paste dense or padded text. It rewrites in plain, unambiguous English, built for a reader who cannot ask what you meant.
One rule at a time
35 named rules: one meaning per sentence, no phrasal verbs, no stacked hedges.
Cuts repetition
A sentence that repeats an earlier one, or an opening that says nothing, is deleted outright.
Never a fact
Hedges, exceptions, and numbers survive untouched. Cutting is never allowed to cut information.
The opposite of Humaniser: this one removes voice, Humaniser adds it.
Function 6 · Accounting
Turn documents into data tables
Upload receipts, statements, or invoices and get clean, fixed-column tables.
Ready-made templates
Expenses (simple or GST split), reconciliation, bank statement, invoices, trial balance.
Fixed columns
Set headers every time, like description, amount, and a suggested GL account.
Excel or clipboard
An .xlsx file, or a table that pastes straight into a spreadsheet.
Keeps every value exactly. Never invents figures.
Function 7 · The Council
Put a decision to a council
Five advisers debate your call from clashing angles, then a Chairman delivers the verdict.
Five minds
Contrarian, First Principles, Expansionist, Outsider, and Executor, each arguing from one lens.
Anonymous review
The advisers rank each other blind, so none can defend its own take. It curbs the yes-man reflex.
Chairman's verdict
One clear call: the decision, the main reason, the critical risk, and a 7-day action.
It builds the whole debate into a finished, self-contained dashboard.
