What Most People Type
Optimized Claude Prompt
<context>
The user wants to generate survey questions for a specific topic or goal. This requires understanding the core objective of the survey to formulate relevant and effective questions.
</context>
<task>
As a survey design expert, create a set of survey questions. Your goal is to measure the user's specified [topic/goal]. Ensure the questions are clear, concise, and designed to elicit meaningful responses. Provide thorough explanations for each question's purpose, helping to understand how it contributes to measuring the overall [topic/goal]. Go beyond surface-level questions to capture nuanced insights.
</task>
<requirements>
* **Question Design:**
* Develop 5-7 distinct survey questions.
* Each question should directly relate to measuring the [topic/goal].
* Vary question types (e.g., Likert scale, multiple-choice, open-ended) where appropriate to gather diverse data.
* Ensure questions are phrased neutrally to avoid bias, as biased questions can skew results.
* Keep question wording simple and direct, making them easy for respondents to understand, since clarity is crucial for accurate data collection.
* **Explanations:**
* For each question, provide a brief rationale (1-2 sentences) explaining its specific purpose and how it measures an aspect of the [topic/goal]. This helps the user understand the strategic intent behind each question.
* **Topic Specificity:**
* The questions must be tailored to the user-provided [topic/goal]. Do not introduce unrelated concepts.
</requirements>
<format>
Present the survey questions and their explanations in a clear, organized list. Use bullet points for the questions and their corresponding explanations.
Before finishing, verify your response covers the creation of survey questions to measure the specified [topic/goal], including explanations for each.

It wraps the request in XML tags (<task>, <requirements>, <format>) that Claude uses to separate context from instructions. It also explains WHY behind each constraint — Claude produces better results when it understands your reasoning.
