Prompts by Role

Every prompt here is ready to copy. The parts in parentheses are what you swap out.

How to use these

Copy → replace the parts in parentheses → paste into your AI → if it works well, save it in your own notes. Don't retype it from scratch every time. That's the biggest time-waster there is.

Requirements:
- Target audience: (describe age, job, what they care about)
