How to optimize prompts in ChatGPT

Prompt optimizer is for the moment when your idea is clear but your prompt is still too rough. It rewrites the draft into a more structured instruction before you send it to ChatGPT.

Optimized prompt

Rewrite this into a precise task with context, constraints, output format, and success criteria.

Quick answer

Type a prompt in the ChatGPT input, click the sparkle button, choose optimizer settings such as instruction, tone, and length, then click Optimize prompt. Superpower rewrites the draft with AI using the selected instruction, and the improved prompt replaces the rough version in the input.

01

Write a simple prompt

Start with the rough version of what you want to ask. It can be short, messy, or incomplete, such as this is a simple prompt or summarize this better.

02

Open the prompt optimizer menu

Click the sparkle button in the ChatGPT input area. Superpower opens the optimizer menu next to the prompt box so you can adjust how the rewrite should behave.

Choose the rewrite settings

Pick an instruction such as Clarity, Precision, Creative, Tutor, or Redeem. Then choose the tone and length controls, such as Casual, As is, Formal, Shorter, or Longer.

04

Create a custom optimizer instruction

Open the instruction editor when the built-in options are not specific enough. You can write your own optimizer instruction, then reuse it for future prompt rewrites.

Rewrite into Role -> Task -> Constraints -> Output format -> Acceptance checks.

05

Click Optimize prompt

Click Optimize prompt and let Superpower rewrite the draft with AI. Review the improved prompt in the input, make any final edits, then send it to ChatGPT.

Improved prompt Write a structured prompt with context, constraints, and output format.

Optimizer strategy

Let the optimizer improve structure, then keep the human intent.

Use Precision for prompts that need constraints, output format, edge cases, or acceptance checks.
Use Clarity when a prompt is vague and needs a cleaner task statement.
Use Tutor when the output should explain the topic step by step.
Create a custom instruction for repeatable writing styles, team rules, or domain-specific prompt formats.
Review the optimized prompt before sending so the rewrite still matches your intent.
