The Prompt Library

A collection of copy-paste prompt templates that actually work. Every template here has been designed for real tasks — not toy examples.

How to Use This Library

Find a template that matches what you need
Copy the prompt
Replace the [BRACKETED PARTS] with your specific details
Paste into Claude (or ChatGPT — these work anywhere)

That’s it. No special setup required.

Template Format

Every template in this library follows the same structure:

Template name — what the prompt does

When to use it — the specific situation it’s built for

The prompt — copy this directly, fill in the brackets

Example — the template filled in with real content so you can see what it looks like in practice

Tips — quick notes on how to adapt it

A Few Things Worth Knowing

These are starting points, not magic words. A good prompt gets you 80% of the way there. The other 20% comes from iterating — if the first response isn’t quite right, tell Claude what to change.

Brackets mean “replace this.” When you see [TOPIC] or [YOUR TEXT HERE], those are placeholders. Delete the brackets and the label, and put your actual content there.

Context is king. The more relevant context you give, the better the output. If a template has optional fields, filling them in almost always improves results.

Claude remembers your conversation. You don’t have to start over if the output isn’t perfect. Just say “make it more concise” or “change the tone to be more formal” and it will revise.
