OpenAI's new prompting guide tells users to stop overthinking and start with the result
The DecoderOpenAI has released a prompting guide for everyday users, not developers. Instead of rigid formulas, it suggests four optional building blocks: goal, context, format, and constraints. The core advice is simple: describe the result you want, not the steps to get there. It's the first time OpenAI covers both Chat and Codex in a single framework.
Open sourceRecommended because
This is worth tracking because it is a concrete builder signal, not just a passing headline. The source preview points to a practical workflow, open-source tool, prompt pattern, or implementation detail. For builders and operators, "OpenAI's new prompting guide tells users to stop overthinking and start with the result" can be used as a checkpoint for shipping faster, improving internal workflows, and spotting repeatable builder patterns. I keep this thread indexed so future searches around AI builder tips, agent workflows, prompts, and implementation patterns can land on a source-linked page instead of disappearing into a fast-moving feed from The Decoder.
