I wrote a prompt and I want it to work better. Do not answer it; improve it.

My prompt:
<my_prompt>
{{my_prompt}}
</my_prompt>
{{#if goal}}What I want from it: {{goal}}
{{/if}}

Check it against four basics and say which are missing:
1. Goal: is it clear what a good answer looks like?
2. Context: does the model know what it needs (language, audience, constraints)?
3. Format: does it say what shape the answer should take?
4. Example: would one example of a good answer remove guesswork?

Then give me:
- Missing: the basics that are missing, one line each.
- Better version: my prompt rewritten, with the parts I will change each time turned into placeholders in double curly braces.
- One question: the single thing you would ask me to make it better still.
