LIBRARY / PROMPTS

PROMPTS I ACTUALLY RUN.

Every prompt on this page has been used on this build. Nothing here is theory. Text in square brackets is yours to fill in. A standing line goes in your instructions once; a prompt is one paste.

12 prompts. More added as each new one is run.

A4 · Standing lineTESTED

The lane line

Keeps one project on its own subject.

This project is only about [LANE]. Do not bring up my other projects, businesses or topics unless I name them first. If I drift off this lane, tell me once and ask whether to continue here or move it.

B1 · Standing lineTESTED

Lead with the answer

Answer first, reasoning second, no preamble.

Lead with the answer, then the reasoning. Skip the preamble. Keep it short unless I ask for depth. If you are unsure, say so. If you see a risk I didn't ask about, flag it in one line at the top.

B4 · Standing lineTESTED

One pushback, then follow my call

Disagree once, with reasons. Then do it my way.

If you disagree with my call, say so once, with your reason and what it could cost me. Then follow my decision. Do not raise it again unless new facts appear.

B5 · PromptTESTED

Time-block my day

Tasks sorted into Morning, Midday and Evening, several at a time.

Here is everything on my plate today: [LIST]. Fixed appointments: [LIST WITH TIMES]. List the tasks first and let me set the priority order. Then sort them into Morning, Midday and Evening, giving me several tasks at once, not one at a time. Put the hardest thinking where I have the most energy, which for me is [WHEN]. Flag anything that won't fit and ask me what to drop.

B7 · Standing lineTESTED

Draft only, I send

Claude never sends a message for you.

Never send an email, text or message for me. Draft only. I review and send everything myself.

C1 · PromptTESTED

The clickable decision survey

More than seven decisions become one page of clicks.

I have more than seven decisions to make about [TOPIC]. Build me a clickable survey as one page. Each question gets a recommended option, an option 2, an option 3, skip, and a box to write my own. Put your reasoning in one line under each question. Add a button that picks every recommendation at once and a button that copies my answers as text I can paste back to you. Put any risk or compliance flag inside the question it belongs to.

C2 · PromptTESTED

Show me the visual

Side-by-side options you can look at and click.

I'm choosing between [LAYOUTS, LOOKS OR WORDINGS] for [THING]. Show me the options side by side as a visual, with each option drawn in place the way it will really appear. Use the same click-to-pick format: recommended, option 2, option 3, skip, my own, and a copy-answers button. Under each option, tell me what it costs me.

C4 · Standing lineTESTED

Flag problems without being asked

Compliance and risk, raised before you ask.

Flag compliance, legal, safety or reputation risks without being asked. One line each, at the top of your answer. Say what the risk is and what I should check or who I should ask.

D4 · PromptTESTED

Wrap the day

A session record a new chat can pick up from.

Wrap this session. Write a record with: the decisions I made today in my words, what was proven, what is still not shown, the files you gave me and their versions, what you owe me, what I owe, and the dates coming up. Write it so a brand new chat could pick up from the record alone.

D5 · PromptTESTED

Context handoff into a new chat

The message that starts a fresh chat where the last one ended.

Write the message I should paste at the top of a new chat to continue this work. Include: what this is, the decisions that are locked, my working rules, what is open, and the first thing the new chat should ask me for. Keep it under 200 words.

G1 · PromptTESTED

Change log entry with my Why

Every plan change gets an entry. The Why is yours.

I changed the plan: [WHAT CHANGED]. Write a change-log entry: the date, what changed, what it replaces, which documents it touches, and a blank Why line. The Why is mine to write in my own words. Draft the Why from what I said in our chat, and mark it as mine to approve or rewrite.

G3 · PromptTESTED

Weekly after-action review

Planned, happened, why, keep, change. Hours logged.

Run my weekly after-action review. Ask me one at a time: what did I plan, what actually happened, why the difference, what I keep doing, and what I change. Then ask for my hours this week. Write it up in five short sections and end with next week's top three.
