The prompt library

Steal these. Then make them yours.

A living library, not a finished book. Each prompt explains what every part of it does, so you can see how it works rather than pasting something you do not understand.

Skills, not software

Get good at this and
the tools matter less.

Prompts help. Habits help more. These six habits are the difference between AI feeling like a gimmick and it quietly saving you hours every week.

01

Briefing like a boss

Telling the AI who you are, what you make and who it is for, before you ask it for anything.

Most disappointing answers are really vague briefs. The more context you give up front, the less time you spend fixing the result.

Try this today

Open your next prompt with: 'You are helping a [type of business] that sells [thing] to [type of customer]. Write in a [plain and friendly] tone.'

02

Treat draft one like a sketch

Never accepting the first answer. Pushing back, asking for options, and asking it to explain its choices.

The first go is a starting point, not a finished thing. Two rounds of 'warmer, shorter, less generic' beats rewriting it yourself.

Try this today

After any answer, reply with: 'Give me 3 very different versions of that, then tell me which is strongest and why.'

03

Save your context

Keeping a short block of info about your business that you paste at the top of prompts so you don't retype it every time.

It saves time and makes every answer more consistent, like briefing a new freelancer once instead of every single day.

Try this today

Write a 5-line 'about my business' block in your notes app and reuse it as the first lines of your prompts.

04

Check before you trust

Fact-checking names, numbers, dates and any legal or health claims before anything goes out the door.

AI writes confidently even when it is wrong. You are the human in charge of what your business says, so the final check is always yours.

Try this today

Before publishing, ask: 'Which parts of this are facts you are sure about, and which are guesses I should verify?'

05

Chain the big jobs

Breaking a big task into small steps and doing them one prompt at a time, instead of asking for everything at once.

Small steps give you better quality and let you steer halfway. Giant all-in-one requests come back shallow and generic.

Try this today

Turn 'write my marketing plan' into research, then audience, then messages, then channels, then a 4-week calendar. One prompt each.

06

Keep private things private

Not pasting customer names, card details, passwords or anything confidential into a public AI tool.

Once it is in, you cannot take it back. Stripping the personal details costs you nothing and protects you and your customers.

Try this today

Swap real names for 'Customer A' and remove addresses, account numbers and anything you would not put on a postcard.
