Prompt Quality Checklist for Data Analysis Prompts

A review checklist for data questions, cleaning plans, chart interpretation and reporting narratives.

Practical method

A review checklist for data questions, cleaning plans, chart interpretation and reporting narratives. The goal is not to make prompts longer. The goal is to make the request clearer, easier to verify and more useful in a real workflow.

A good prompt usually includes role, task, context, constraints, examples, output format and a review loop.

Step-by-step process

  1. Write the real task in plain language.
  2. Add context: audience, constraints, examples and unavailable details.
  3. Ask for a first draft and missing-information questions.
  4. Request a critique against your goal.
  5. Revise the prompt and save the version that worked.

常见错误

  • Using a one-line request like “write something about business” with no audience or constraints.
  • Asking for the final answer before collecting the context the AI needs.
  • Publishing output without checking facts, dates, product details or policy-sensitive claims.
  • Requesting many versions without defining what “good” means.
  • Letting the AI decide the structure when the page, email or report already has a known format.

审核清单

  • The prompt asks for missing-information questions instead of invented details.
  • The answer includes a checklist or next step, not only a paragraph.
  • Claims, numbers, policies and examples are checked before use.

常见问题

What is the fastest way to improve a prompt?

Add specific context, output format and success criteria.

Should prompts be very long?

Not always. A prompt should be complete enough to guide the output, but not padded with irrelevant words.

How do I know the result is good?

Compare it against the original goal, check facts and ask whether a real user can act on it.
