# Liongard Prompting Tips for Better Results 

# What is a Prompt?

## Understanding Prompts in Roar Assistant/Ask Leo

Prompts are the way you interact with **Roar Assistant/Ask Leo** to get the information you need from your environments and/or systems.  Think of a prompt as your starting point for a clear instruction or question that tells Roar Assistant/Ask Leo what to look for and how to respond. The more specific and intentional your prompt is, the more useful and relevant the response will be.

Once you receive a response, you can continue the conversation by refining or expanding your prompt. Roar Assistant will use the context from your previous inputs to provide deeper insights, follow-up answers, or more targeted results.

In short:

* A **prompt** starts the interaction
* A **follow-up prompt** builds on the conversation
* Roar Assistant/Ask Leo responds with increasingly relevant and contextual insights

# Building Effective Prompts

Use the following best practices to create clear, actionable prompts when working within your environment.

## Recommended Best Practices

* List Systems in an Environment, dig into the system, dig into the metric in the system.
* Avoid using ***"How many"*** in your prompt, instead ask it to ***"List"***
* Use ***"@tagging"*** in your prompts.
* Ask about a specific asset in an environment by key identifier (email, hostname, etc)
  * **Start with clear intent**: Use phrases like ***“List,” “Show,” “Assess,” “Tell me,” “Is,”* or *“What.”***
  * **Always specify context**: Include the environment, system, or launchpoint when possible.
  * **Provide details**: Use specific identifiers such as:
    * `[Customer Environment]`
    * `[Device Name]`
    * `[username/email]`
