Self-Critique Revision Loop: Draft, Self-Criticize, Revise — Three Rounds of Polish in One Prompt
Has the AI produce a first draft, then switch into a strict editor role to pick apart its own flaws, and finally rewrite based on that critique — effectively running three rounds of polish inside a single prompt.
Rubric-Driven Output: Tell AI What a Perfect Score Looks Like First
Write out the grading rubric in your head and give it to the AI first — it will use that yardstick to self-align, self-evaluate, and fix whatever falls short, getting you much closer to the quality you actually want.
The Anti-Goal Sandwich: One Line to Stop AI's Most Common Mistake
Explicitly naming "the most common failure mode AI makes on this type of task" in the prompt and telling it to proactively avoid that mode — 2026 field tests show roughly a 28-30% reduction in errors.
Contrastive Example Calibration: Show It What You Want AND What You Don't — One Negative Example Beats Three Positive Ones
Demonstrate both the 'desired output' and the 'output that shouldn't appear' at the same time, so the AI calibrates between the two poles; for tasks about tone and precision, a single negative example often outperforms three positive ones.
Chain-of-Thought Scaffold: A Fixed 5-Step "Think Before You Answer" Process
Forces the AI to think through 5 fixed steps before answering — restate → list assumptions → reason step by step → self-check → conclude. Field tests show roughly a 30% reduction in confidently wrong answers on complex reasoning tasks.
5 Claude Repeat-Task Templates That Lasted 6+ Months — and the 3 Retention Rules
After 18 months of testing 60 Claude workflows, the retention pattern: annoying but not painful, output has a destination, input under 30 seconds. The 5 templates that survived 6+ months (Friday review / meeting follow-up / client weekly report / Monday briefing / pipeline update).
5 Prompt Engineering Techniques That Actually Move the Needle (XML Beats Markdown by 28%)
Five quantifiable techniques from an AI engineer's hundreds of hours testing across GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini: CoT scaffolding, persona + goal + anti-goal, XML being 28% more accurate than markdown, negative examples outperforming positive ones, and prompt chaining beating the mega-prompt.
CV Writer Ruleset: It Interviews You STAR-Style and Bans "Dynamic Team Player"
The pain of writing a CV isn't the layout — it's listing duties instead of achievements, then having AI pile on and turn you into a "dynamic team player." This ruleset forbids AI from drafting anything until it has your evidence and positioning, and walks you through one question at a time.
One-Page Product PRD Draft
A first-draft Product Requirements Document: a 3-sentence problem statement → 5 user stories → an API contract → success metrics. A spec engineers can start building from immediately.
STAR Interview Answer Bank Generator
Give Claude the target job description plus 5 real work incidents of yours, and it produces 5 STAR-format interview answers you can rehearse the night before the interview.
Manager-Level Quarterly Self-Review Document
Give Claude a summary of your emails, meeting notes, and Slack messages from the past 90 days, and it produces a 'quarterly self-review'—achievements, failures, lessons learned, and next quarter's goals. Done 30 minutes before your performance review.
Podcast Interview Outline Designer
Give Claude the guest's bio, the show's theme, and the angle you want to dig into, and it produces a complete 60-minute interview outline—15 main questions, backup follow-ups, and an opening/closing design.
PRO13Claude Resume Tailor: One Resume, Ten Company Applications

Not a casual 'take a quick look at this code' request. One command yields a full review of the PR across four dimensions: scope/impact, security, performance, and readability.
PRO15Claude Storyboard Auto-Generator
Give it a topic, length, and platform, and it instantly produces a storyboard plus prompts ready to feed straight into Sora or Runway.
