AI Prompts
AI prompt engineering prompts.
Prompts that make your prompts better — sharpen one you have, build one from a goal, or debug why it's not working. Tap to copy.
Tap Copy on any prompt, paste it into your AI assistant, and replace the [bracketed] parts with your own details.
Improve a prompt
Critique and improve
Here's a prompt I'm using: [paste your prompt]. Suggest specific improvements to get better, more consistent results, then give me the rewritten version and explain each change in one line.
Add the missing pieces
Rewrite this prompt to include a clear role, the context the model needs, the exact output format, and sensible constraints: [paste your prompt].
Make it reusable
Turn this one-off request into a reusable template with [bracketed] placeholders for the parts that change: [paste your request].
Build a prompt
From a goal
I want an AI to [describe your goal]. Write a well-structured prompt I can use, including a role, the context, step-by-step instructions, the output format, and any constraints or examples that would help.
Ask-me-first pattern
Write a prompt for [task] that starts by asking me any clarifying questions it needs before producing the output, so it doesn't guess.
Few-shot template
Create a prompt for [task] that uses two or three examples to show the model exactly the style and format I want. Leave clearly marked slots for me to fill in my own examples.
Structure & format
Force a format
Rewrite this prompt so the model returns the answer strictly as [a table / JSON / a numbered list / markdown] with these fields: [list them]: [paste your prompt].
Set persona and tone
Add a clear role and tone to this prompt so the response sounds like [who, e.g. a concise senior engineer / a friendly coach]: [paste your prompt].
Add guardrails
Add constraints to this prompt so the model [stays under X words / cites its sources / says 'I don't know' when unsure / avoids jargon]: [paste your prompt].
Debug & iterate
Diagnose bad output
This prompt keeps giving me [the problem, e.g. overly long / generic / off-topic] results. Here's the prompt and a sample output: [paste both]. What in the prompt is causing it, and how do I fix it?
Compare two prompts
Here are two prompts aimed at the same goal: [paste A] and [paste B]. Explain the likely difference in their outputs and which is better structured, then combine the strengths of both.
Shorten without losing quality
Make this prompt shorter and clearer without weakening the instructions or changing the output I'll get: [paste your prompt].
Better prompts, better output
Almost every guide lands on the same recipe for a good prompt: give the model a role, the context it needs, the exact output format, and clear constraints. These prompts help you apply that recipe — sharpening a prompt you already have, building one from a goal, or debugging why one isn't working.

FAQ
What makes a prompt good?
Four things: a clear role for the model, the context it needs, the exact output format you want, and sensible constraints. Most weak prompts are missing two or three of those.
What's a meta-prompt?
It's a prompt that works on prompts — for example, asking the AI to improve the prompt you just wrote, or to generate a structured prompt for a goal you describe.
