How to use these prompts

Every prompt in this collection is written to be pasted into a chat with a large language model and adapted to your situation. You do not need any special tools — just an AI assistant and the placeholders filled in with your own details. Work through them one at a time:

• 1.Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder with your own specifics — the more concrete the input, the sharper the output.
• 2.Give the model a role and an audience first ("You are a senior copywriter writing for busy founders"), then the task.
• 3.Ask for 3 variations, pick the strongest, then request one refinement pass. Two rounds beats one long prompt.
• 4.Paste real context — your product, tone samples, or data — so the answer is grounded, not generic.
• 5.Keep a short "house style" note you prepend to every prompt for a consistent voice across outputs.
