Six prompts that survive the Check step, and the specific thing to check in each one. Copy a row, edit it in place, and tick Mine when you have made it yours.

The sixth row is a prompt you should not send. It is here on purpose. A library that only shows you wins teaches you nothing about the edge.

Prompt library


How to add your own

Write the prompt first, then write the check. If you cannot name what you would check, the prompt is not finished. That one habit is the difference between a prompt library and a folder of hopeful text.

Four fields, every time: Goal, Context, Source, Format. Goal is the only one you always need. Source is the one people leave out, and it is the one that decides whether the answer is grounded in your work or in nothing.
