# How to write a prompt

## Prompt structure {#structure}

A complete prompt includes:

- An action for the neural network (for example, `write`).
- A [genre](https://yandex.com/support/shedevrum/en/text/styles.md) (for example, `advertisement post`).
- [Details](https://yandex.com/support/shedevrum/en/text/details.md) (for example, `about cake discounts`).
- Context or a target location (for example, `for a coffee shop website`).

## Prompt types {#types}

Feel free to experiment with different types of prompts on Shedevrum. For example:

- **Question**: To find out something quickly, ask the neural network.
- **Creation** of text: To get a text with the right parameters, [write](#structure) an appropriate prompt.
- **Riddle**: The neural network will figure out the logic behind it and give you an answer.
- **Text analysis**: Ask the neural network to highlight the most important parts of the text, draw a conclusion about an article, or write an essay.

## Tips {#advice}

- Please clearly define the topic and goal of the text. For example, instead of `Write an interesting post for social media`, enter `Write a post about a new promotion for a VK group`.
- Set a role for the neural network. For example: `Imagine that you're a journalist. Write a column about water pollution for a newspaper`.
- Be sure to include both desired elements and things you want to avoid in your text description. For example: `Come up with a slogan for a gym. Don't use the words "fitness" and "sport"`.
- If you don't know how to word your prompt, ask the neural network. For example: `I need to write an article Franz Kafka in English literature. What prompt should I enter for you to write the text?`
