Improve Prompts

Get better results by including these in your prompts.

General

Improve results for almost any task

This is a very important task. Assess the goal of the task, analyze it for shortcomings against that goal, then do what is needed to address those shortcomings.

Reverse Prompting

Have AI ask you questions so it can deliver better results

Before you start, ask me questions one at a time to make sure you fully understand my goal. Keep going until you have everything you need to accomplish my goal and provide the best possible outcome.

Self-Improvement

Use your agent to self-reflect and improve how you operate

Look at everything you know about me—work, personal projects, relationships, habits, how I spend my time and energy. Based on patterns you can see across all of it, what is my biggest growth opportunity right now (the next few months, not someday)?

Be honest, even if it’s something I might push back on. Specifically:

• Name the pattern you think I’m not yet seeing clearly.

• Tell me one thing I should stop, start, or change—starting next week, not “eventually.”

• Ask me one question I probably haven’t asked myself yet.

Stay grounded in my actual life. No generic advice. If you have enough context to give a grounded answer, lead with it. If you’re missing something that would materially change your answer, ask me—but no more than three questions before giving me something real.

Improve Ways of Working

Use your agent to improve your ways of working

You have context about me from our past conversations—my projects, how I work, what I ask for, and how I iterate. I want you to do something specific with that knowledge:

  1. Patterns: What patterns do you notice in how I work with you? (e.g., how I scope requests, where I get stuck, what I revisit, what I avoid)

  2. Friction: Where do you see recurring friction—things that slow me down, trips I keep making, or habits that work against my stated goals?

  3. Gaps: What am I not asking you to help with that I probably should be, given what you know about my workload and interests?

  4. Leverage: Where am I underusing you? What could I delegate or automate that I'm still doing manually or not doing at all?

Be direct. Don't flatter me. I want actionable observations, not a recap of my projects.

Get Unstuck

Uncover what's really costing you time and momentum

Interview me about how I work. Ask one question at a time—no more than 6 total. Go where the interesting threads are, and push back when my answers sound rehearsed or like I'm performing productivity.

After the interview, tell me:

• The single biggest thing you think is costing me time or momentum

• What I seem to be avoiding or rationalizing

• One specific change I could try this week

Be a sharp advisor, not a supportive one.
