Creating modular prompts for policy explanation involves designing flexible, reusable prompt components that can be easily adapted for different types of policies, stakeholders, or scenarios. These prompts should guide the model to clearly and accurately explain the policy, its purpose, implications, and any stakeholder-specific perspectives.
