CARE is a four-part prompt framework: Context sets the background, Action defines the task, Result specifies the desired output, and Example provides a reference that shows the AI exactly what good looks like. The Example field operationalizes few-shot prompting in a structured template.
CARE operationalizes few-shot prompting in a structured framework. The Example field is the key: instead of describing what you want, you show the AI an instance of it. This dramatically improves consistency for tasks involving specific formats or writing styles that are hard to describe but easy to demonstrate.
Example-driven framework — show the AI what good looks like.
Use CARE when you have a reference output — a past piece of writing, a format template, or a worked example. If you cannot provide a concrete example, use RACE or CO-STAR instead.
CARE vs RACE: RACE describes the desired output; CARE shows it. When you have a concrete reference, CARE produces more consistent results. CARE vs CO-STAR: CO-STAR controls style through description; CARE controls it through demonstration.

Start freeCARE stands for Context, Action, Result, and Example. The Example field provides a concrete reference output that shows the AI exactly what a good result looks like.
Few-shot prompting includes examples of the desired output in your prompt so the AI learns the pattern. CARE is a structured framework that makes few-shot prompting systematic — the Example field is where your reference outputs go.
If you cannot provide a concrete example, CARE loses its main advantage. Use RACE or CO-STAR instead, which describe the desired output rather than demonstrating it.
