CRISP Prompt Builder for Generative AI Tools
This page was originally coded by MagicSchool.ai and then reviewed and updated by the author, Dr. Logan Rath . The best I can tell, the original version of the CRISP acronym was generated by AI and is thus unattributed.
Use the CRISP steps (Context, Request, Intent, Style, Parameters) to build clear prompts. Fill each step, choose an output style, then click "Build Prompt".
1) Context — Background or situation the model should know
Describe setting, relevant facts, or constraints the model should assume.
2) Request — What are you asking the model to do?
State the concrete task or deliverable.
3) Intent — The user's goal or desired outcome
Clarify why you want this result (learning objective, decision support, etc.).
4) Style — Tone, format, and voice
Specify tone, level of detail, formatting preferences.
5) Parameters — Constraints, length, audience, and extra rules
Any limits, required sections, or special instructions. Use this box for examples of what the generative AI should do or avoid.
