Prompts

Prompts you can copy, with notes on when they work.

• Chain-of-Thought Scaffold

  A reusable scaffold that asks the model to think step-by-step before answering — for problems where the right reasoning path matters more than the final word.

• Code Review Assistant

  A code review prompt that names what to flag, what to accept, and how strict to be — for the load-bearing PRs you cannot trust to a generic /review agent.

• Customer Apology Email

  A short, sincere customer apology that acknowledges the failure, offers a concrete remedy, and avoids the corporate tics that make apologies feel like deflections.

• Few-Shot Template

  A few-shot prompt template — three worked examples, one fresh input — for tasks where the model needs to see the shape before producing it.

• Refactor with Rationale

  A refactor brief that asks for the change, the reason, and the boundary — so the resulting diff fits the seam you actually wanted to widen.

• Tone-Shift Rewriter

  Take a draft and shift its register without losing the argument. Useful when the prose is right but the audience is wrong.
