AI Prompt Library

Copy-ready prompts that hold up in real work. Every entry lists the variables you need to fill in, the models it has been tested against, and a short note on the technique it uses — so you can adapt it rather than just paste it.

Agents

Agent System Prompt Scaffold

Generates a production agent system prompt with a scoped role, tool-use policy, refusal boundaries, escalation rules, and a matching set of test cases.

{{PURPOSE}}{{TOOLS}}{{USERS}}+3 more

Agent Trace Failure Analysis

Reads an agent execution trace to find the first step where reasoning went wrong, then maps the failure to a class and a specific prompt or tool fix.

{{SYSTEM_PROMPT}}{{TOOL_DEFINITIONS}}{{TRACE}}+1 more

Coding

Rigorous Pull Request Review

A code review prompt that separates correctness bugs from style opinions, rates severity, and refuses to comment on anything outside the diff.

{{STACK}}{{INTENT}}{{CONVENTIONS}}+1 more

Stack Trace to Root Cause Analysis

Turns an error and its stack trace into ranked hypotheses with the specific evidence that would confirm or eliminate each one, before proposing any fix.

{{STACK_TRACE}}{{CODE}}{{RECENT_CHANGES}}+1 more

Legacy Refactor With a Test Harness First

Forces the model to characterize existing behavior with tests before touching any code, so refactors preserve behavior instead of quietly changing it.

Data Analysis

Business Question to Verified SQL

Converts a business question into SQL by first restating assumptions and definitions, then writing the query with a validation check the analyst can run.

{{QUESTION}}{{DIALECT}}{{SCHEMA}}+1 more

Dataset Anomaly Triage

Reviews summary statistics and sample rows to separate genuine data quality problems from real-world variation, ranked by impact on the intended analysis.

{{ANALYSIS_GOAL}}{{PROFILE}}{{SAMPLE_ROWS}}+1 more

Image

Product Photography Prompt Builder

Builds image generation prompts using real photographic language — lens, lighting setup, surface, and camera position — plus a negative list and variation axes.

{{PRODUCT}}{{MATERIAL}}{{USE_CASE}}+2 more

Editorial Illustration Concept Brief

Generates three distinct conceptual approaches for an article illustration, each with the visual metaphor stated first and the rendering specification second.

{{THESIS}}{{PUBLICATION_STYLE}}{{PLACEMENT}}+2 more

Marketing

Positioning Statement and Headline Variants

Derives a positioning statement from customer pain and competitive alternatives, then generates headline variants that each test a different message hypothesis.

{{PRODUCT}}{{SEGMENT}}{{ALTERNATIVE}}+3 more

Case Study to Cold Outbound Sequence

Turns one customer case study into a four-email outbound sequence where each message uses a different angle and no email repeats the previous ask.

{{CASE_STUDY}}{{PROSPECT_ROLE}}{{PROSPECT_COMPANY_TYPE}}+2 more

Productivity

Meeting Transcript to Decisions and Owners

Extracts decisions, owned actions, and unresolved questions from a transcript, and refuses to assign an owner or date the meeting never established.

{{TRANSCRIPT}}{{ATTENDEES}}{{PURPOSE}}

Research

Source-Grounded Research Brief

Produces a research brief where every claim is tagged with its source and confidence, and unsupported assertions are quarantined instead of blended into the text.

{{QUESTION}}{{SOURCES}}{{DECISION_CONTEXT}}

Competitive Landscape Matrix

Builds a comparison matrix across competitors using criteria derived from buyer needs, with explicit unknowns rather than plausible-sounding filler in empty cells.

{{CATEGORY}}{{COMPETITORS}}{{BUYER_PROFILE}}+1 more

Writing

Technical Blog Post Outline

Turns a topic and audience into a structured outline with per-section word budgets, a stated thesis, and an explicit list of what the post will not cover.

{{TOPIC}}{{AUDIENCE}}{{WORD_COUNT}}+1 more

Bullet Notes to Voice-Matched Draft

Converts rough notes into a first draft that imitates a supplied writing sample, with strict rules against inventing facts the notes do not contain.

{{VOICE_SAMPLE}}{{NOTES}}{{FORMAT}}+1 more

Self-Critique Line Edit Pass

A two-phase editing prompt: the model first diagnoses concrete problems in your draft against named criteria, then rewrites only the passages it flagged.

{{DRAFT}}{{VOICE_NOTES}}
