Why iCRAFT

Random prompting tips don’t stick. A framework does.

Most people collect scattered “magic phrases” from videos and posts — and plateau in months. iCRAFT gives you a mental model instead: every prompt you’ll ever need is one of six engines, each with its own question, formula, and checklist. Learn the engine once, and you can build unlimited prompts.

Named & memorable

Six letters — iCRAFT — each mapped to a plain-English question: WHAT, WHAT+HOW, WHO, WHY+HOW, HOW, and X→Y. If you can ask the question, you can pick the engine.

Formula-driven

Every engine has a fill-in-the-blank template with real word banks: action verbs, deliverables, constraints, audiences. No blank-page panic — just assemble.

Practice-first

Like W3Schools for prompting: read a short lesson, study an example, write your own, get scored on a 7-point rubric, improve, and retry.

The Framework

Six prompt engines. Every situation covered.

Each card is a doorway: click through for the full lesson, formula, word banks, and examples.

See the difference

Same request. Very different results.

Watch what happens when a vague wish becomes an iCRAFT Instruction prompt.

✗ Vague prompt
Write something about my gym.
✓ iCRAFT prompt
Write a welcome email for new gym members in under 120 words. Include 2 benefits and end with a call to action to book a free intro session. Friendly, motivational tone for busy adults.

THE UPGRADE  Deliverable named · length capped · 2 content rules · audience & tone defined — that’s the Instruction engine formula at work.
