Task · Action · Goal

A tight three-part prompt framework that forces clarity on what to do, how to do it, and what success looks like.

The components

T
Task
The specific thing being asked of the LLM.
A
Action
How the LLM should approach it (the verb-driven steps).
G
Goal
Why this matters — the success criterion and intended outcome.

Worked example

Rough prompt

Help me decide whether to take a job offer.

Super-prompt produced by TAG

[Task] Help me weigh up a job offer I have received.
[Action] Ask three clarifying questions to understand the offer, my current situation, and my priorities. Then produce a 6-row decision matrix scoring the offer against my current role across compensation, growth, autonomy, lifestyle, risk, and gut feel. End with a one-sentence recommendation and the single biggest risk to the recommendation.
[Goal] By the end of this conversation, I should be able to give a yes/no answer with the top two reasons and the strongest counter-argument clearly articulated.
