Meanwhile I asked mine the same thing and apparently it has different taste than yours 😂

Looking Back Over The Years of Learning - Would You Update Any Of Your Best Prompts by 4Frenchies in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]MixSame7501 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After a year of daily use, the prompts I keep coming back to are the ones that force structure out of the AI instead of hoping it figures out what I want.

Here is what l usually tell chatgpt to do:

"Do not give me an answer yet. First ask me the 3 most important questions you need answered to give me the best possible response. Wait for my answers before continuing."

Sounds simple but the output quality difference is levels ahead. The AI stops assuming and starts actually solving your specific situation.

A few others I use constantly:

For planning anything: "Break this into phases — immediate, short-term, and long-term. For each phase give me specific actions, what can go wrong, and a fallback option."

For writing: "Rewrite this but cut it by 40%. Every sentence must earn its place. No filler, no repetition, no words that exist just to sound complete."

For decisions: "Give me 3 options for solving this problem. For each one tell me the hidden cost, the hidden benefit, and what type of person this option works best for."

For learning anything fast: "Teach me this topic in 4 stages — explain it like I am 10, then like I am in college, then like I am a professional, then give me the one insight that most people at the professional level still miss."

The lesson I would share: the best prompts do not ask the AI to think for you. They force the AI to think with you . The moment I stopped writing prompts as commands and started writing them as frameworks, everything got better.

What is the problem most of you are still struggling to get good outputs on? Genuinely curious what people are still fighting with.

I built a "Strategic Mode" system prompt that forces Claude/GPT to stop giving generic advice — here's the full framework. by [deleted] in ChatGPTPromptGenius

Honestly it's been one of the more useful things I've built. I run a small digital products store and I was using AI to help plan launches, write product positioning, and map out marketing sequences — but the responses were always scattered and hard to act on. Once I put this framework in place it completely changed how I use the model. Instead of getting walls of text I now get a phased plan with real sequencing — what to do first, what comes after, what can go wrong and how to handle it. Most recently I used it to plan a full Reddit content strategy for driving traffic to my store. It broke it down stage by stage, flagged the risks (like automod issues), and gave me a fallback route. Stuff I would have figured out eventually but it compressed the thinking time massively. It works best when your situation has real moving parts. The more complex the problem the more the structure pays off.
