# Prompting Guide

**General guidelines for crafting your next prompt**:

* Be specific about the information you would like (e.g., "Make sure to look up latest news.")
* Do not assume the `Analyst` is all knowing.
* If you have an idea of what data sources `Analyst` include that in your prompt (e.g., "Look up twitter for ..." or "Use web search to look for...")
* If you have contextual knowledge, provide this input to the agent.

**Treat your session with `Analyst` as an ongoing conversation. You can start off simple and progressively add more context as your own knowledge builds up**:

* Start off simple: "Tell me about Berachain."
* Later, add context: "I'd like recent updates and announcements from Berachain and why it is a compelling alt-L1, specifically, highlight it's Proof-of-Liquidity mechanism."

**Tell the agent how you would like the analysis output (report) to be structured**: 

*  Summarize the content into sections highlighting Berachain's Proof-of-Liquidity, tokenomics for  $BERA, $BGT, $HONEY, the governance structure and an overview of ecosystem activity."

**If you have a specific URL you would like summarized, provide the URL**:

* "Visit this URL: <https://docs.berachain.com/> and summarize the content."

**Have a specific audience in mind when crafting your prompt**:

* (someone looking to invest in $BERA): "Give me an overview of $BERA tokenomics, total supply, circulating supply, fully diluted valuations, and potential unlocks I should be aware of."
* (someone curious about Berachain ecosystem): "Give me an overview of the Berachain ecosystem, provide details on developer adoption, business development activities and how they've attracted builders."

**If there's a specific way to spell something, assume the agent doesn't know and provide the correct spelling**:

* "It is Berachain, not Bearchain."

**Use specific date ranges (when applicable)**:

* "Make sure you provide news sources that have been published after September 18, 2024)"
