Framework Quick Reference
Deep Dive: Every Framework
RISE Framework
Role, Instructions, Steps, Expectations - The most popular framework for structured prompts.
RACE Framework
Role, Action, Context, Execution - Perfect for context-heavy content generation.
Chain-of-Thought
Step-by-step reasoning that improves accuracy on complex problems by 20-40%.
Tree-of-Thought
Explore multiple reasoning paths and evaluate them before deciding.
ReAct Prompting
Combine reasoning with action for tool use and agentic workflows.
Self-Consistency
Generate multiple solutions and find consensus for higher accuracy.
Least-to-Most
Break complex problems into simpler subproblems, solving easiest first.
Which Framework Should You Use?
For beginners: Start with RISE or RACE. They're simple, effective, and work for 80% of prompting needs.
For complex reasoning: Use Chain-of-Thought. Add "think step by step" to dramatically improve math, logic, and analysis tasks.
For strategic decisions: Try Tree-of-Thought. When you need to evaluate multiple approaches before committing.
For high-stakes accuracy: Use Self-Consistency. Generate multiple answers and find consensus for important questions.
For multi-step problems: Apply Least-to-Most. Break complex tasks into simpler parts, solving easiest first.
For AI agents and tools: Implement ReAct. The standard for reasoning + action loops in agentic workflows.
