The Treasure of Specificity

The original prompts were written here and need only tightening - what the platform adds is that a specific can be a file rather than a description. Upload the CSV instead of pasting it, attach a photograph as a visual reference, point at a Doc. That is a sharper kind of specificity than any adjective. Keep standing specifics in a Gem, use grounding to make the time-sensitive details in the travel post actually current, and note that this is the one platform where the image example runs natively.

• A file beats a description - upload rather than paste.
• An attached photo is a visual specific for image prompts.
• Ground the perishable details; check each source's date.
• Big file still needs a precise question.
• Keep standing specifics in a Gem, not in every prompt.

### THE BRIEF ###

Write a 1200-word travel blog post titled "A 3-Day Cultural Deep Dive into Hyderabad for First-Time Visitors".

**Reader:** has never been to Hyderabad, planning a long weekend, choosing between this and three other Indian cities.
**Tone:** enthusiastic and informative. Not a brochure.

### STRUCTURE ###

1. **Day 1 - the Old City:** Charminar, Laad Bazaar, Chowmahalla Palace.
2. **Day 2 - the Nizams' era:** Salar Jung Museum, Golconda Fort with the evening light and sound show.
3. **Day 3 - modern Hyderabad:** Hi-Tech City, and biryani somewhere well known such as Paradise.

Per day: a short paragraph on its character, then each stop with roughly how long to spend, what to look at while there, and one specific detail a first-timer would walk past.

### MUST HOLD ###

* Each day works as a route, in an order that makes geographic sense.
* Practical specifics: which parts of the city the metro reaches, when an auto or cab is better, and which months are genuinely too hot - name them.
* Concrete over evocative. "Charminar at 7am before the shops open" earns its place; "bathed in golden light" does not.

### USE GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE PERISHABLE FACTS ###

This is the part that makes the post usable rather than plausible. Ground and cite each of these:

* Current opening days and hours for Chowmahalla Palace, Salar Jung Museum and Golconda Fort.
* Current ticket prices for Indian nationals and for foreign visitors.
* Whether the Golconda light and sound show is currently running, its timings, and which language on which evening.
* Which metro line serves which of these areas and the nearest station to each.

For each, give me the link and **the date the page was last updated**. Museum pages go stale and a citation only tells me where a claim came from, not that it is current. Where you cannot find a current source, write "check before you go" in the post rather than stating a figure.

### IF I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHS ###

Use my own photographs of these places as the source for the physical description. A detail from a real photograph is worth more than a recalled one, and it is a kind of specificity no wording can supply.

### OUTPUT ###

A Google Doc called "Hyderabad 3-day post", with every grounded fact followed by its source link so I can check them before publishing. Save the reader profile and tone rules as a Gem called "Travel blog voice".

### THE SETUP ###

Act as a senior data analyst. I am **attaching my last quarter's sales data as a Google Sheet** rather than pasting a CSV - work directly from that file. If I have attached it, do not ask me to paste anything.

**Before you compute anything:** tell me what columns you found, what you understand each to contain, and the number of rows. If a column is ambiguous or inconsistently formatted, stop and ask. A large attached file makes it easy to produce a confident analysis of the wrong column, and the attachment does not remove my obligation to be precise about the question.

### TASKS - IN ORDER ###

1. **Total revenue for the quarter.** The figure, and the row count it came from.
2. **Top 5 products by units sold** - a table with product, units, revenue, share of total revenue. Flag any case where the top seller by units is not the top by revenue.
3. **Week-by-week trend** - a table, then one paragraph: rising, falling or flat, and whether it is a trend or noise at this sample size.
4. **One-paragraph recommendation** on which category to focus marketing on next quarter, citing the specific figures from 1 to 3.

### MUST HOLD ###

* Every figure traceable to the attached file. **Do not search.** No industry benchmarks, no "typical for the sector" comparisons - grounding is the specific way an analysis of my data starts containing things that are not in my data.
* Show the arithmetic for the totals.

### OUTPUT - THIS IS WHERE THE PLATFORM EARNS ITS PLACE ###

Write the analysis back into the same Sheet as a new tab called "Q analysis", and build it with **live formulas referring to the data tab**, not typed-in numbers. I want to change one row and watch the totals update. A table of static figures is a screenshot; a formula is a tool.

Add a second tab, "Charts", with the weekly trend as a line chart and the top five products as a bar chart.

Then in the chat: what this data cannot answer - one quarter with no prior period means seasonality is invisible - and which fields I should start capturing to make next quarter's analysis better.

### THE COMMISSION ###

Generate a vibrant, photorealistic image.

**Subject:** a young Indian woman in her late twenties, a software developer, sitting at a desk typing on a laptop. Smiling confidently - at her work, not at the camera.

**Setting:** a modern, brightly lit office in Hyderabad's Hi-Tech City. Large windows behind her with a city view. Colleagues visible but out of focus in the background.

**Clothing:** stylish professional Indian attire - a smart kurti with trousers.

**Camera:** mid-shot, slightly to one side, as if someone glanced across from the next desk. Shallow depth of field - she is sharp, the background soft. Natural daylight from the windows as the key light.

### ORDER MATTERS ###

Subject first, then setting, then camera - and each on its own line. A single paragraph carrying twelve visual details loses the ones at the end, so anything non-negotiable belongs in the first two lines.

### IF I HAVE ATTACHED A REFERENCE IMAGE ###

This is the specificity that no amount of wording matches, and it is the reason to do this example here. If I have attached a photograph - of our actual office, of the Hi-Tech City skyline, of the kind of workspace I mean - use it as the visual reference for the setting and the light, and tell me which elements of it you have carried into the image and which you could not. A photograph of the real thing removes more guesses than a paragraph of adjectives.

### THEN ###

1. Generate it.
2. Give me three variants of the prompt - one changing the setting, one the composition, one the mood - so I have somewhere to go if this is close but wrong.
3. Tell me what in my brief you could not render faithfully. Hands on a keyboard, and text on screens or signage, come out wrong routinely - say whether this attempt has that problem rather than leaving me to spot it.

### ITERATE, DO NOT REWRITE ###

I will come back with one change at a time - "same image, she is looking at a second monitor" - and I want it treated as an edit of this image rather than a fresh generation. Starting over gives me a different woman in a different office and loses whatever was already working.

### ONE MORE SPECIFIC ###

This is for a blog header, so leave clear space on the left for a headline to sit over. Tell me if that constrains the composition you would otherwise have chosen - what the image is for changes the crop more than any detail in the description.
