Recipes
Task-based starting points, not scaffolding to copy blindly. Each one is validated against specific models and rewritten from scratch against current guidance.
Agentic coding workflows
Brief a coding agent with the goal, boundaries, and success criteria, then let the model choose the investigation path.
Last reviewed: August 8, 2026Brainstorming and ideation
Generate useful options by giving the model a real constraint set, not an empty request for ideas.
Last reviewed: August 10, 2026Code review prompts
Ask for risks, regressions, and missing tests instead of a generic code summary.
Last reviewed: August 10, 2026Customer support reply drafting
Draft replies that are grounded in policy, account facts, and the agent's actual authority.
Last reviewed: August 10, 2026Debugging and iterating prompts
Fix a failing prompt by isolating the failure instead of adding more instructions.
Last reviewed: August 10, 2026Decision-making and tradeoff analysis

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026Research and analysis
Separate retrieval from synthesis, and choose the model surface that matches the part of the job you are doing.
Last reviewed: August 25, 2026Roleplay and simulation prompts
Use simulations for practice and evaluation without confusing a role with the scoring criteria.
Last reviewed: August 10, 2026Structured data extraction
Use the provider's schema feature when one exists, and make null handling part of the contract.
Last reviewed: August 25, 2026System prompt design for products
Design durable product instructions that define scope, authority, tool use, and handoff behavior.
Last reviewed: August 10, 2026Tutoring and explaining a concept
Get an explanation calibrated to your real starting point instead of asking for generic simplification.
