Today I am creating Quick Intent Tags Reference Guide to include some short secret tags which can help you write prompts quickly and clearly.
Quick intent tags are shorthand indicators used in prompts to communicate the desired style, depth, or format of a response without writing lengthy instructions.
They help streamline communication and set clear expectations.

Combination Examples
You can combine tags for more specific requests:

Best Practices
- Place tags at the beginning of your prompt for clarity
- Use 1-3 tags maximum to avoid confusion
- Be consistent within your team’s communication

- Combine with context for better results
I hope these tags will help you in your interactions with LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude etc.
