Stating your core requirements at the beginning creates boundaries the model respects throughout its response. This is more effective than tucking constraints into the middle of your prompt, where they're easier to overlook.
Prompt anchoring is the practice of restating your most critical requirements at both the beginning and end of a long prompt so AI does not drift away from them when processing complex instructions.
Because AI can deprioritize details buried in the middle of lengthy requests, anchoring ensures your non-negotiable constraints stay active throughout the entire response generation process.
