CLEAR Framework

The CLEAR framework evaluates and improves prompts and PRDs. CLEAR was developed by Dr. Leo Lo and published in the Journal of Academic Librarianship (July 2023). The acronym stands for Concise, Logical, Explicit, Adaptive, and Reflective.

Components

Component	Focus	Typical improvements
Concise	Reduce noise and pleasantries	Remove filler, tighten language, emphasize action verbs
Logical	Improve flow and ordering	Restructure prompts into context → requirements → constraints → outputs
Explicit	Clarify expectations	Specify persona, tone, output format, success criteria, examples
Adaptive	Offer alternative approaches	Provide variations, alternative structures, temperature suggestions
Reflective	Encourage validation	Add checklists, edge cases, fact-checking steps, risk mitigation

Applying CLEAR

When evaluating a prompt or PRD, work through each component:

Concise: Score Concise, Logical, and Explicit — produce a single improved prompt and a list of labeled changes.
Deep: Unlock Adaptive and Reflective components to deliver alternative phrasings, structures, and validation checklists.
PRD review: Validate generated quick PRDs for the C/L/E components unless validation is explicitly skipped.
Summarize: Optionally re-run CLEAR on extracted prompts to give an optimized variant ready for AI agents.
