Copy-paste prompts with a why-it-works line.

summarize · meetings

Summarize without losing decisions

Solves: Long doc or thread — you need decisions and owners, not a vague synopsis.

Summarize the text below for a busy teammate.
Return:
1) 3-bullet overview
2) Decisions made (bullet list)
3) Open questions
4) Owners / next actions if mentioned
Do not invent facts. Quote uncertain items as “unclear”.

TEXT:
{{paste}}

Why this works: Structure forces decisions and owners out of prose; “don’t invent” cuts hallucination.

brainstorm

Brainstorm with constraints

Solves: Ideas are generic because the prompt has no constraints.

Generate 12 ideas for: {{goal}}
Constraints: {{constraints}}
Audience: {{audience}}
For each idea: one line + why it fits constraints + risk.
End with your top 3 and why.

Why this works: Constraints + risk scoring beats “give me ideas” mush.

coding

Coding help that stays reviewable

Solves: Model dumps a rewrite of everything; you wanted a minimal patch.

You are a senior engineer. Goal: {{goal}}
Stack: {{stack}}
Constraints: minimal diff, no new deps unless asked, explain tradeoffs briefly.
Return:
1) Approach (3 bullets)
2) Patch (unified diff or full file if small)
3) How to test
4) Risks

Why this works: Minimal-diff + tests keeps AI output reviewable.

rewriting · tone

Rewrite tone (keep meaning)

Solves: Message is right but lands wrong — too sharp, soft, or corporate.

Rewrite the message in a {{tone}} tone for {{audience}}.
Keep meaning and facts identical. Shorten by ~20% if possible.
Return only the rewrite, then a 1-line note on what changed.

MESSAGE:
{{paste}}

Why this works: Separating tone from content prevents meaning drift.

docs

How-to doc from messy notes

Solves: You have notes; you need a paste-and-succeed how-to.

Turn these notes into a how-to page.
Use: Goal, Prerequisites, Steps (numbered), Expected result, If it fails.
One job only. No fluff.

NOTES:
{{paste}}

Why this works: Fixed doc skeleton matches how people actually use docs.
