Curated AI prompts for business, creative, and technical use cases.
The Feynman Teach-Back Simulator: Expose Gaps in Your Understanding by Explaining It to a Curious Novice
Works with any strong conversational model — Claude Sonnet 5 or Opus 4.5, GPT-5.4, or Gemini 3 Pro. The role depends on genuinely curious, specific follow-up questions rather than generic ones, so a weaker-reasoning model will default to shallow, templated questions instead of probing the real gaps in your explanation.learningYou just spent three days learning how OAuth 2.0's PKCE flow works before implementing it for your team's new mobile app, and you think you understand it — but you won't find out if you actually do until you're debugging it live in production. You need to stress-test your own understanding before that happens, not after.

The Feynman Teach-Back Simulator: Expose Gaps in Your Understanding by Explaining It to a Curious Novice

A role-play prompt that turns explaining a concept out loud into a diagnostic tool, catching the difference between what you actually understand and what you only think you do.

The Skeptical VC Pitch Stress-Test: Turn Your Deck Into the Ten Toughest Questions You'll Actually Face
Claude Opus 4.5 (also works well with GPT-5.1 or Gemini 3 Pro — the adversarial-reasoning style benefits from a strong-reasoning model, but isn’t vendor-specific)Business & StrategyYou have a seed-round pitch meeting with a VC partner in three days. Your advisors and friends have only given you encouraging, surface-level feedback, and you need to know exactly which questions will actually come up in the room — and whether you can answer them — before you're standing in front of someone deciding whether to write a check.

The Skeptical VC Pitch Stress-Test: Turn Your Deck Into the Ten Toughest Questions You'll Actually Face

A prompt that role-plays a skeptical VC partner to surface the specific, deal-threatening questions your pitch will actually get — not a generic investor-question template.

The Edge Case Test Generator: Turn a Feature Description Into a Complete Test Matrix Before You Write Code
Claude Opus 4.7 (also works well with GPT-5.4 and other strong reasoning models — the task is systematic analysis, not creative generation, so most frontier models handle it competently)Developer ToolsA backend engineer is about to implement a new bulk order cancellation endpoint for an e-commerce API — one function call that touches payment refunds, inventory restocking, and customer notifications at once. The ticket describes the happy path in two sentences. Before writing a single line of code, the engineer runs this prompt against the feature description to surface every edge case, race condition, and integration failure the implementation needs to handle.

The Edge Case Test Generator: Turn a Feature Description Into a Complete Test Matrix Before You Write Code

A structured prompt that turns a one-paragraph feature ticket into a six-category test matrix — covering boundaries, concurrency, and integration failures — before a single line of code gets written.

The Creative Constraint Generator: Turn a Stuck Project Into Rules That Force New Ideas
Works well with any strong creative-reasoning model (Claude, GPT-5-class, Gemini 2.5 Pro). Needs a model willing to generate genuinely restrictive rules rather than safe, decorative ones — weaker models tend to invent constraints that don't actually rule anything out.creativeYour team ran two open brainstorming sessions for a cold brew coffee brand's launch campaign, generated 40 concepts, and a blind test showed people couldn't distinguish any of them from three competitor brands already on the shelf.

The Creative Constraint Generator: Turn a Stuck Project Into Rules That Force New Ideas

A structured prompt that diagnoses why a brainstorm converged on generic ideas, then invents five deliberately restrictive rules designed to break that specific default — turning creative block into a ranked set of concepts worth prototyping.

The Correlation vs Causation Stress-Tester: Pressure-Test a Data-Driven Claim Before You Act On It
Works best with strong-reasoning models (Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet, GPT-5-class, Gemini 2.5 Pro). Weaker models tend to list generic caveats instead of scenario-specific alternative explanations.Data AnalysisYour marketing team just told leadership that a new onboarding email sequence increased 30-day retention by 12%, based on a before/after comparison, and the company is about to reallocate a team's entire budget on the strength of that one chart.

The Correlation vs Causation Stress-Tester: Pressure-Test a Data-Driven Claim Before You Act On It

A structured prompt that forces an AI to list every alternative explanation for a data pattern, rank what evidence would distinguish them, and recommend the cheapest next diagnostic — before you commit budget to a causal story that might be wrong.

The Weekly Slippage Reconciler: Turn Last Week's Plan vs Actual Into This Week's Realistic Priorities
Works best with Claude Sonnet 5.5 or GPT-5.4 — the three-step diagnose/reconcile/replan structure needs strong instruction-following to stay sequential rather than collapsing into a single pass. Gemini 3 Pro also handles it well; smaller/faster models tend to skip the diagnosis step and jump straight to replanning.productivityYou are a product manager (or any individual contributor juggling multiple workstreams) who ends most Fridays with 2-3 planned priorities still undone, and every Monday you face the same choice: silently carry everything forward, or sit down and actually figure out what happened before deciding what is realistic this week.

The Weekly Slippage Reconciler: Turn Last Week's Plan vs Actual Into This Week's Realistic Priorities

A diagnose-reconcile-replan prompt that figures out why last week's plan slipped before it lets you build this week's — so you stop recreating the same unrealistic list.

The Term Sheet Red-Flag Scanner: Find the Founder-Unfriendly Clauses Before You Sign
Works best with Claude Sonnet 5.5 or GPT-5.4 — both have strong grounding in venture financing conventions and can reliably distinguish market-standard terms from genuine outliers. Treat the output as preparation for a conversation with actual counsel, not a substitute for one — no model should be the only check on a legal document before you sign it.finance-negotiationYou're a first-time founder who just received a term sheet from a lead investor for your seed round, with a Tuesday deadline to respond, and you've never negotiated a priced round before — your lawyer is available but billing by the hour, and you want to walk into that call already knowing where the real fights are.

The Term Sheet Red-Flag Scanner: Find the Founder-Unfriendly Clauses Before You Sign

A structured AI prompt that turns a confusing term sheet into a clause-by-clause scorecard and a ranked list of what to actually push back on.

The Brand Voice Consistency Auditor: Score Any Draft Against Your Style Guide
Works best with Claude Sonnet 5.5 or GPT-5.4 — both handle long style guides and nuanced tone matching reliably. Works adequately with Gemini 3 Pro, but it tends to over-flag minor stylistic variance as violations; tighten the Constraints section's issue cap if using Gemini.marketingYour startup just brought on three freelance copywriters for a product launch sprint, and marketing ops has fifteen drafts to clear before anything ships — but the only brand reference anyone has is a scattered, two-year-old Google Doc that none of the freelancers have fully read.

The Brand Voice Consistency Auditor: Score Any Draft Against Your Style Guide

A structured AI prompt that turns a vague “does this sound like us” judgment call into a scorecard, a prioritized fix list, and a ship/hold verdict.

The SWOT-to-Action Converter: Turn a Strategic Analysis Into a 30-Day Plan With Owners and Deadlines
Works best with Claude Sonnet 5.5 or GPT-5.4, both of which handle the prioritization logic (picking the highest-leverage combinations rather than covering every item) more reliably than models that default to exhaustive coverage. Gemini 3 Pro also works but may need an explicit reminder to limit the action plan to 7 items rather than listing one action per SWOT bullet.Business & StrategyYour team just finished a quarterly strategy offsite and produced a SWOT analysis with 20+ bullet points across four quadrants, but the document is about to sit in a shared drive untouched the moment everyone goes back to their day jobs.

The SWOT-to-Action Converter: Turn a Strategic Analysis Into a 30-Day Plan With Owners and Deadlines

A structured AI prompt that converts a SWOT analysis into a small, owned, 30-day action plan — deliberately skipping most of the SWOT bullet points instead of turning every strength and weakness into a task.

The Behavioral Interview Sprint: Turn a Job Posting Into STAR-Format Stories You Won't Blank On
Works best with Claude Sonnet 5.5 or GPT-5.4, both strong at mining specific, non-generic detail out of unstructured resume text. Gemini 3 Pro also works, but may need an explicit reminder to include the closing Story Inventory section, which it sometimes drops when the competency list runs long.CareerYou have a final-round interview in three days for a senior role. You have 12+ years of relevant experience, but when you try to recall specific stories under time pressure, you blank, or you default to the same two anecdotes for every question regardless of what's actually being asked.

The Behavioral Interview Sprint: Turn a Job Posting Into STAR-Format Stories You Won't Blank On

A structured AI prompt that turns a job posting and your resume into a pre-mapped set of STAR-format interview stories — so you walk in with a small, memorized inventory instead of improvising under pressure.

The Executive Brief Compressor: Turn a 20-Page Report Into a One-Page Action Memo
Works best with Claude Opus 4.5 or GPT-5.1, both of which can hold an entire long report in context at once rather than summarizing it in chunks — chunked summarization is what causes cross-section contradictions and caveats to get lost. Avoid routing this through a model with a short context window; truncating the source report defeats the entire point of a faithful compression.Writing & CommunicationA VP of Operations receives a 24-page vendor due-diligence report late on a Friday, with a budget committee meeting scheduled for Monday morning at 8am where the CFO needs to approve or reject a vendor contract renewal, and there is no time for the committee to read the full report before deciding.

The Executive Brief Compressor: Turn a 20-Page Report Into a One-Page Action Memo

A structured AI prompt that compresses a long report into a one-page brief a decision-maker can act on — preserving the original's caveats and contradictions instead of smoothing them into false confidence.

The Research Synthesizer: Turn Scattered Sources Into a Map of Agreements and Contradictions
Works well with Claude Opus 4.5 or GPT-5.1 for the structured cross-referencing this requires — both hold attribution steady across long combined source text without losing track of which claim came from which source. Gemini 3 Pro works fine for shorter source sets (under roughly four sources) but can blur attribution once the combined text gets long.learningA product manager has four analyst reports and a dozen saved articles on whether on-device AI or cloud AI will dominate enterprise deployment by 2027, needs to present a one-page synthesis to the leadership team by Friday afternoon, and does not have time to read everything closely enough to defend a recommendation under questioning in the room.

The Research Synthesizer: Turn Scattered Sources Into a Map of Agreements and Contradictions

A structured AI prompt that reads multiple sources on the same question and produces a map of where they genuinely agree, where they contradict each other, and what neither source addresses — instead of a smoothed-over summary that hides the disagreements.
