A reusable template for few-shot learning that dramatically improves classification accuracy. Works for sentiment, intent, topic, and custom categories.

Prompt Content

## Rules
1. Output ONLY the category name, nothing else

3. If the text doesn't fit any category well, output: UNCERTAIN

## Examples

Text: "The product arrived damaged and customer service was unresponsive for 3 days"
Category: negative_experience

Text: "Absolutely love the new update, the dark mode is gorgeous!"
