Work Briefs
5 promptsMonday Meeting Brief
1/30✨ What it does
Turns pasted meeting notes into a one-page brief with decisions, questions and owners. Put a real name on every [VERIFY] owner before you send the brief.
Turn my notes into a one-page brief for [MEETING NAME] on [MEETING DATE]. Notes: [PASTE NOTES]. Attendees I know: [ATTENDEE LIST]. Output: goal in 25 words, three decisions we must make, open questions, and a table of owner vs next step. Use only names from [ATTENDEE LIST]. If a decision has no owner, write [VERIFY] in that cell; do not invent a person or a deadline. Skip metrics I did not paste. End with a 40 word opener I can read at minute one.
Pro tip: Paste the invite plus your scribbles so open questions stay honest.
Handoff Note for Time Off
2/30✨ What it does
Builds a four-block handoff from your live tasks and the access your cover already has. Confirm every [VERIFY] owner before you leave.
Write a handoff note for [COVER PERSON] while I am out [DATES AWAY]. Live work: [PASTE TASK LIST]. Access they already have: [ACCESS LIST]. Output four blocks: what is live, what can wait, who to ping, and a 60 word Slack-style note. Do not invent a password, a client, or a status. If a task has no owner besides me, write [VERIFY] beside it. Keep the note under 250 words. This is an operations draft, not a promise about volume of work.
Pro tip: Name only tools the cover person can already open.
Decision Memo From Options
3/30✨ What it does
Compares three named options in a memo table and recommends one from your constraints. Fill missing effort or risk cells yourself before anyone decides.
Draft a decision memo for [DECISION]. Options we already listed: [OPTION A], [OPTION B], [OPTION C]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. Output a table with rows Goal fit, Effort we named, Risk we named, and Reversible yes or no, then a 80 word recommendation. Stay inside the options and constraints. If effort or risk is missing for an option, write [VERIFY] in that cell rather than inventing a score. Do not add a fourth option. Close with the one fact I must confirm before we lock it.
Pro tip: Write the constraints as numbers or dates you can check.
Customer Reply Triage
4/30✨ What it does
Sorts pasted customer messages into intent, severity and a short draft reply tied to your policy. Ask a lead about any row marked [VERIFY] before you send.
Triage these customer messages for [QUEUE NAME]: [PASTE MESSAGES]. Our policy notes: [POLICY NOTES]. Return a table with columns Message id, Intent, Severity, Draft reply under 70 words, and Policy line used. Quote the policy; do not invent a rule, a refund, or a ship date. If the policy is silent, write [VERIFY] in Draft reply and list the question I should ask a lead. Keep tone calm. Remove any account number you see and replace it with REDACTED.
Pro tip: Strip account numbers before you paste the thread.
Weekly Status for a Sponsor
5/30✨ What it does
Writes a short sponsor status from this week's facts and last week's questions. Replace each [VERIFY] figure with a number from your tracker.
Write a weekly status for [SPONSOR NAME] on [PROJECT]. Facts this week: [PASTE FACTS]. Last week they asked: [LAST QUESTIONS]. Output three bullets Done, three In motion, two Risks, and a 50 word ask. Every bullet needs a fact from the paste. If a date, count or name is missing, write [VERIFY] instead of inventing a figure. Do not forecast a launch I did not state. Keep the whole note under 180 words. Plain language, no slogans.
Pro tip: Lead with Done so the sponsor sees movement before the ask.
Study Notes
5 promptsLecture to Question Set
6/30✨ What it does

Turn this lecture transcript into a study set for [COURSE]. Transcript: [PASTE TRANSCRIPT]. Exam date I know: [EXAM DATE]. Output 12 questions in three bands: recall, explain, apply. After each question, give a short answer that quotes the transcript. If the transcript never covers a point, write [VERIFY] and skip inventing a definition. No medical or legal advice. End with a 40 word study order for the next two evenings, using only [EXAM DATE] if I supplied it.
Pro tip: Paste the section you just heard, not the whole term, so quotes stay tight.
Flashcards From a Chapter
7/30✨ What it does
Turns chapter notes into fifteen flashcards grouped into three piles. Leave any unsupported back blank until you check the book.
Make 15 flashcards from chapter notes for [SUBJECT]: [PASTE CHAPTER NOTES]. Front max 12 words, back max 30 words. Flag any card whose back is not supported by the notes with [VERIFY] and leave the back blank rather than inventing a term. Output as a two-column list. Then group the cards into three piles: must know this week, review later, skip until I confirm. Do not add a card for a topic outside the paste.
Pro tip: Study the must-know pile on paper the same night.
Compare Two Pasted Papers
8/30✨ What it does
Sets two pasted papers side by side on your research question with evidence quotes. Do not treat a silent cell as a finding.
Compare two papers I pasted for [ASSIGNMENT]. Paper A: [PASTE PAPER A]. Paper B: [PASTE PAPER B]. My question: [RESEARCH QUESTION]. Output a table: Claim, Evidence quote from A, Evidence quote from B, Tension. Use quotes only. If a paper is silent on my question, write [VERIFY] in that cell; do not invent a finding. Then write a 90 word synthesis that names both papers. Stay descriptive. This is not a grade.
Pro tip: Paste abstracts plus one results section, not entire PDFs.
Problem Set Walkthrough
9/30✨ What it does
Restates each problem, shows where your attempt diverged, and gives a short hint. Look up any formula tagged [VERIFY] in your materials.
Walk through this problem set for [CLASS NAME] without giving a final numeric answer I did not compute. Problems: [PASTE PROBLEMS]. What I already tried: [PASTE ATTEMPT]. For each problem: restate in 20 words, list the steps in order, mark the step where my attempt diverged, and write a hint under 25 words. If a formula is not in the paste, write [VERIFY] and tell me which page to check; do not invent a formula. No full worked solution with numbers filled in.
Pro tip: Paste your attempt, even if it is messy, so the hint can start there.
Oral Exam Practice Loop
10/30✨ What it does
Starts an oral exam drill from your outline, showing the eight-question arc and waiting on question one. Score later answers only against the outline.
Run an oral exam drill for [TOPIC] using only my outline: [PASTE OUTLINE]. Ask me 8 questions, one at a time in this first output just question 1, then wait. After I answer later, you will score me 1 to 5 on coverage of the outline and tag missing points [VERIFY] instead of inventing a source. For now, also give me a 60 word map of the 8 questions so I can see the arc. Do not add scholars or dates I did not name.
Pro tip: Answer out loud, then type a short version so the score stays honest.
Photo Briefs
5 promptsOutfit Test Shot List
11/30✨ What it does

Output 5 frames as a table: Frame, Angle, Items in view, Items to hide, Caption under 12 words. Stay inside [DESK ITEMS]. If I did not name a cable plan or a chair, write [VERIFY] rather than inventing gear. No brand slogans. Keep it useful for a before and after I can post to my own notes.

Order the recap photos I should take at [EVENT] on [DATE]. Run of show I know: [RUN OF SHOW]. People who agreed to be in photos: [CONSENT LIST]. Output a timed shot order with columns Time, Shot, Who, Why. Use only people on [CONSENT LIST]. If a time is missing from the run of show, write [VERIFY] and do not invent a cue.

Pro tip: Put names on a card in your pocket so you do not photograph anyone who did not agree.

Phone only, landscape and portrait crops noted.
Pro tip: Stand the person a step back from the glass so the light wraps.

Do not add events I did not list. Keep evenings lighter on [REST NIGHT].
Pro tip: Put the rest night in first so the grid cannot eat it.
Gift List From Names
