AI Prompt Generator Playbook

What this page is

A prompt factory playbook for operators who ship with AI daily. The interactive generator UI ships later; today you get the same workflow we use internally — pick a job type, fill a brief, run the meta-prompt, paste the output into your model of choice.

No signup. No magic. Just structured prompts that reduce retries.

60-second workflow

1. Pick a job category (marketing, coding, writing, business, sales, productivity, research, creative).
2. Write a 3-line brief — audience, task, constraints.
3. Paste the meta-prompt below into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
4. Copy the best of three variants and run it as a fresh conversation (or system prompt for coding agents).
5. Score the output with the quality gate checklist before you ship.

The brief template (fill this first)

CATEGORY: [marketing | coding | writing | business | sales | productivity | research | creative]
MODEL: [ChatGPT | Claude | Gemini]
AUDIENCE: Who reads or uses the output?
TASK: What must be true when you're done?
CONSTRAINTS: Length, tone, format, things to avoid, tools/stack, deadline.
CONTEXT: Paste bullets, data, or code snippets the model needs.
SUCCESS: How will you know the output is good enough?

Example:

CATEGORY: marketing
MODEL: Claude
AUDIENCE: B2B SaaS founders on LinkedIn
TASK: Write a launch post for our free GEO audit tool
CONSTRAINTS: Under 220 words, no hype words, one clear CTA, no em dashes
CONTEXT: Tool scans llms.txt, schema, meta — free, no signup
SUCCESS: A founder could paste this without editing

Meta-prompt: generate 3 ready-to-use prompts

Copy this entire block. Replace the bracketed section with your brief.

You are a senior prompt engineer. I will give you a job brief. Produce exactly THREE distinct, copy-paste-ready prompts I can send to [MODEL] to complete the task.

Rules for every prompt you write:
- Start with role + objective in sentence one.
- Include numbered steps or a clear output schema.
- Specify tone, length, and format (markdown table, JSON, code block, etc.).
- Add 2–3 "do not" rules to prevent generic fluff.
- End with a self-check line the model must answer before finishing.

Variation strategy:
- Prompt A: Fast draft — minimum tokens, good enough to ship today.
- Prompt B: Structured — tables, outlines, or step-by-step with examples.
- Prompt C: Expert — chain-of-thought hidden, edge cases, revision pass built in.

After the three prompts, add a 5-line "operator note" on which variant to use when.

Category starter prompts

Use these when you already know the job. Swap bracketed fields.

Marketing — campaign angle finder

You are a B2B growth operator. Given [PRODUCT] for [AUDIENCE], produce 5 campaign angles.
For each angle: hook (≤12 words), pain point, proof point, channel fit (LinkedIn/X/email), and one sample headline.
Exclude buzzwords: revolutionary, game-changing, unlock, leverage.
Output as a markdown table. Rank by expected CTR for [CHANNEL].

Coding — feature implementation spec

You are a staff engineer on [STACK]. Implement [FEATURE] with these constraints: [LIST].
Deliver: (1) file-level plan, (2) TypeScript interfaces, (3) pseudocode for core logic, (4) test cases as Given/When/Then, (5) risks.
Do not write full files unless asked. Flag assumptions with ASSUMPTION: prefix.

Writing — edit pass for operators

You are a technical editor. Rewrite the draft below for [AUDIENCE].
Goals: cut 20% length, active voice, one idea per paragraph, keep all facts.
Output: (A) revised text, (B) bullet list of cuts made, (C) one sentence summary.
Draft:
[PASTE]

Research — source-backed brief

You are a research analyst. Question: [QUESTION]
Deliver a one-page brief: executive summary (3 bullets), key findings, contradictions in sources, confidence level (high/medium/low) per claim, and "what would change my mind."
If you lack live data, say so and propose search queries I should run manually.
Cite source types, not fabricated URLs.

Model-specific tweaks

Quality gate (before you ship)

• Output matches the format you asked for (not a essay when you wanted JSON).
• Constraints honored — length, tone, banned phrases.
• No hallucinated stats, URLs, or API names — verify anything factual.
• One clear next action for the reader or for you.
• Good enough to paste without a second prompt — if not, iterate with: "Revise only section 2; keep everything else."

Status

Interactive UI (category picker, brief form, three variants, one-click copy) ships soon. Until then, the meta-prompt above is the generator — free, unlimited, commercial use OK.
