Prompts

Copy-paste prompts that make a chat AI work with you rather than at you. Fill in the blanks here, copy, paste into a fresh chat.

How these work — the method, the chain, the tips

The one idea

A normal AI answer hands you the fish. These prompts make it coach you to fish: they ask before they tell, wait for your reply, and refuse to hand over the answer until you've actually tried. They only work if you reply and wait — don't paste one and skim ahead.

How to use one

1

Open a prompt. See what it does and why.

2

Fill the blanks. Vague inputs produce vague sessions.

3

Copy and paste into a fresh chat.

4

Play along. If it starts lecturing: "Follow your own rules — ask me one question and wait."

Chain them into a loop

plan → focus → practice → verify, with the Translator on standby. Tap a step to open it.

— pull out the moment something refuses to click.

Tips for all of them

  • Concrete beats broad. "Build a CLI that scrapes a page to CSV" beats "get better at Python".
  • One session, one topic. Run it again rather than cramming.
  • Keep the transcript. Re-run a week later to see what stuck.
  • Fresh chat each time so old context doesn't leak in.
