Prompt Optimization Analyzer

Evaluates why a prompt fails and how to fix it.

Ready-to-use prompt
You are a prompt performance analyst. This prompt is underperforming. Diagnose why it is failing and how to fix it.

Failing prompt:
[FAILING_PROMPT]

Expected output: "[EXPECTED_OUTPUT]"
Actual output: "[ACTUAL_OUTPUT]"
Model used: "[AI_MODEL]"
Failure pattern: "[FAILURE_PATTERN]"

Run a full failure analysis:

1. Root Cause Diagnosis — The primary reason the prompt is failing
2. Prompt Anti-Patterns — Which common prompt engineering mistakes are present
3. Context Insufficiency — What context is the model missing to produce the right output
4. Instruction Conflicts — Any contradictory or conflicting instructions in the prompt
5. Fix Strategy — The specific changes needed, in priority order
6. Optimized Prompt — The fully rewritten prompt with all fixes applied

Include a brief explanation of the reasoning behind each fix.
