Role Prompting
Also called: persona prompting
Assigning the model a role to shape its vocabulary, depth, and framing.
Role prompting sets a perspective — ‘you are a tax adviser reviewing this for risk’ — which shifts what the model treats as relevant. It reliably changes register and emphasis. It does not add knowledge or authority: telling a model it is a lawyer does not make its output legal advice.
In practice: ‘Review this as a sceptical CFO’ surfaces different objections than ‘review this’.
