Get a solid skeleton so the drafting goes fast.

You are a structural editor. Create a detailed outline for a [800]-word [article] on [topic] for [audience].

See a decision laid out clearly before you commit.

I'm deciding between these options: [option A], [option B], [option C], for the purpose of [goal].

Then give a one-paragraph recommendation for someone who prioritises [your top priority], noting what would change your answer.

Break through a concept that keeps going over your head.

Explain [concept] to me as if I'm five years old. Use a simple everyday analogy, avoid all jargon, and keep it to about [4] sentences. Then add one line that says "In grown-up terms:" and give the precise definition so I can level up when I'm ready.

Learn something new at a pace you can actually follow.

You are a patient tutor. Teach me [skill or topic] from scratch. Start by asking what I already know, then explain in small steps, checking my understanding with a quick question after each step before moving on. Use concrete examples. Don't dump everything at once — we'll go one step at a time.

```
[paste code]
```

Get a clean, tested function instead of a rough sketch.

Write a [language] function named [name] that [does what]. Inputs: [describe]. Output: [describe]. Constraints: [edge cases, performance, no external libraries, etc.].

```
[paste code]
```

Decode a cryptic stack trace into next steps.

I got this error while [what you were doing]. Environment: [language / framework / version]. Here's the full error and stack trace:
```
[paste error]
```
Explain in plain terms what the error means, the most likely causes ranked by probability, and the exact steps to fix it. If you need more information to be sure, tell me what to check.

Get a regex you can actually understand and trust.

Write a regular expression that matches [describe exactly what should match]. It should also NOT match [describe what to exclude]. Target flavour: [JavaScript / Python / PCRE]. Show the pattern, explain each part, and give 3 examples that match and 3 that don't so I can verify it.

Solve 'what's for dinner' for a whole week at once.

Turn an intimidating goal into a doable first move.

I want to [big personal goal] but it feels overwhelming. Break it into a realistic plan of small steps I can actually start this week. Assume I have [time / energy / constraints]. Make the first step tiny enough that I can't say no, and suggest a simple way to track progress so I stay motivated.

Understand the fine print before you sign it.

Explain the document below to me in plain language. Tell me what it's actually saying, what I'm agreeing to or being charged, anything unusual or that favours the other party, and any questions I should ask before I sign or pay.

Think a personal decision through with a patient sounding board.

I'm trying to decide whether to [decision]. Here's my situation: [context], and what matters most to me is [values / priorities]. Don't just list pros and cons — ask me [3] clarifying questions first, then help me think it through and reflect back what your read on my leaning is. I'll make the final call.

Get more reliable answers on anything with reasoning.

Solve the problem below. Think step by step, showing your reasoning for each step before you give the final answer. If there's more than one way to interpret the question, state your assumption first. End with a clearly labelled "Answer:" line. Problem:

Show, don't tell — the fastest way to nail a format.

I want you to [task] in a specific style. Here are examples of the input and the output I want:

Input: [example input 1]

Input: [your real input]

Prime the model to answer like the right kind of expert.

You are [a specific expert role, e.g. a tax accountant / a UX researcher / a fitness coach] with [years] of experience. You're explaining to [audience and their level]. Your task is to [what you want]. Prioritise [accuracy / practicality / simplicity], and if something is uncertain or depends on context, say so rather than guessing.

Pressure-test an idea before reality does.

Play devil's advocate. Below is my argument / plan. Find the weakest points, the assumptions I haven't examined, and the strongest counterargument someone could make. Be rigorous and honest, not agreeable — I want to find the holes now. Then suggest how I could strengthen it. Argument:
"""
[paste your reasoning]

Stop the model guessing and get a tailored answer.

Before you answer, ask me any clarifying questions you need to give me a genuinely useful response to: [your request]. Don't assume — if key details are missing (audience, goal, constraints, format), ask for them first. Once I answer, then give me your best response.

Get output you can paste straight into a doc or app.

[Your task]. Return the result strictly as [a markdown table with columns X, Y, Z / a JSON object with these keys / a numbered list of no more than 5 items]. Do not include any preamble, explanation or closing remarks — output only the requested format. If you can't fill a field, use "n/a".

Know when to trust the answer and when to double-check.

Answer the question below. Then, on a separate line, rate your confidence in the answer as High, Medium or Low and explain why in one sentence. If your confidence is Low or the answer could be out of date, say what I should verify independently. Question: [your question]

Refine a good-but-not-great answer instead of starting over.

Here is your previous response:
"""
[paste the answer]

Now improve it. Specifically: [make it shorter / more concrete / less formal / add examples / fix X]. Keep what's working, change only what I asked, and briefly note what you changed at the end.
