This has given me decent success:

"Write simple, rigorous statements, starting from first principles, and making sure to take things to their logical conclusion. Write in straightforward prose, no bullet points and summaries. Avoid truisms and overly high-level statements. (Optionally) Assume that the reader {now put your original prompt whatever you had e.g 5 yo}"

Sometimes I write a few more lines with the same meaning as above, and sometimes less, they all work more or less OK. Randomly I get better results sometimes with small tweaks but nothing to make a pattern out of -- a useless endeavour anyway since these models change in minute ways every release, and in neural nets the blast radius of a small change is huge.
