From the GPT-5.5 prompting guidance by OpenAI:

“ROLE
Who should the model act as?

GOAL
What finished outcome do you want?

SUCCESS CRITERIA
What makes the answer good?

CONSTRAINTS
Length, style, audience, exclusions, boundaries

OUTPUT FORMAT
Bullet list, table, JSON, article, etc.

STOP RULES
What should the model avoid doing?”

And then this example:

“Act as a senior product strategist.

Goal:
Evaluate this SaaS idea for market viability.

Success criteria:
Identify business risks, hidden assumptions, and competitive threats.

Constraints:
Be direct, evidence-based, no motivational filler.

Output:
1-page executive memo with sections.”

My reaction:

This is a meaningful shift.

Not toward longer prompts.
Not toward clever prompt tricks.

Toward clearer intent, stronger constraints, and measurable outcomes.

Prompting is starting to look less like “asking AI questions.”

And more like designing instructions for reliable behavior.
