Working with AI — Prompt Pack

Ten prompts that turn an assistant into a thinking partner instead of a vending machine — interview me before you answer, steelman the other side, be a critic not a yes-man, show me my blind spots, premortem. Each says what it is for, what to paste, and why it works.

Problem

Most disappointing AI output is a good answer to the wrong question, because nobody made the model ask first.

Who it helps

Anyone who uses AI for thinking work — deciding, designing, or finding the flaw in their own reasoning.

In training

Use these when the thinking is the work. Paste one at the start of a conversation, not the middle — role instructions land harder at the beginning.

Skills shown

Prompt design, structured elicitation, critical review, decision framing.
