RICO prompt model

RICO prompt model is a simpler RICECO method and is NOT based on one of the penguins from the madagraskar…. You won`t remember this because of him 🙂 Rico is one of the simpler methods out there, not much complicated, just like a good kaboom 🙂 Simple and easy to remember. Rico can help You start Kabooming more effective prompts for any AI.

RICO is a simple framework that helps you structure prompts to help and guide AI so it understands exactly what you want.

The RICO Method: A Kaboom Framework for Better AI Prompts

Recently one skill is becoming more and more valuable: prompting. Good prompts lead to clearer, faster, and more accurate results (it is cheaper too !). Many people struggle to give AI the right information and in the right way.

Why Rico Works

AI models thrive on very specific input information. RICO helps remove ambiguity by giving structure:

• A clear role help to provide the main context of discussion and the expertise of the llm model.
• Accurate input reduces guesswork, drives higher probability to proper solutions, less hallucinations.
• Defined constraints helps the answer to be brief and not too long.
• A specific output specifies the format of the answer.

With RICO, even complex tasks become easier for AI to handle.

Rico to the rescue !

Rico – Role

Tell the AI who it is or how who it should act. This gives model the context narrowing its personality down.
Example:

• “Act as a senior UX designer…”
• “Act as a scala backend developer trying to write frontend in vue :)”
• „A pragmatic programmer like uncle bob

rIco – Input

Provide the information or materials the AI should use. This can be text, data, a scenario, or an objective.
Example:

• “Here is the user feedback from last week…”
• „Base the answer on this example and format…”
• „Make an ascii graph for txt from the image passed…”

riCo – Constraints

Define the rules, limits, or boundaries.
This keeps the output focused and prevents unwanted formats.
Example:

• “Keep it under 150 words and avoid technical jargon.”
• „Make methods with max 3 parameters„
• „Use only vue js composition api„

ricO – Output

Tell the AI exactly what to produce.
This is the desired format, style, or deliverable.
Example:

• “Generate a bulleted summary with three key insights.”
• „Make a table with comparison of the features”
• „Make a short one sentence summary…”

RICO method example prompt
