TAG is a three-part prompt framework: Task describes the situation or subject, Action specifies what the AI should do, and Goal states the desired outcome. TAG is similar to RTF but goal-driven rather than format-driven.
TAG shares RTF's simplicity but approaches prompting from a different angle. RTF ends with Format — how the output should look. TAG ends with Goal — what the output should achieve. This makes TAG better for persuasive, outcome-oriented tasks.
Minimalist goal-driven framework — three fields, fast results.
Use TAG for persuasive writing, calls to action, brief explanations, and tasks where you care more about what the output achieves than how it looks. For tasks where output format is the primary constraint, RTF is a better fit.
TAG vs RTF: RTF ends with Format; TAG ends with Goal. TAG is better for persuasive and outcome-driven tasks. TAG vs APE: APE has a Purpose field (why the task exists); TAG has a Goal field (what the output should achieve).

Start freeTAG stands for Task, Action, and Goal. The Goal field — the desired outcome — drives the AI's choices more than format constraints would.
RTF ends with Format — how the output should look. TAG ends with Goal — what the output should achieve. Use TAG for persuasive tasks; RTF when output structure is the primary constraint.
