Using These Prompts
Prompts work best when you do the thinking first.
Fill the variables deliberately
The bracketed variables are the most important part of each prompt. The more specific and honest your inputs, the more useful the output. Generic inputs produce generic outputs — always.
Treat output as a first draft
Every prompt here is designed to produce a useful starting point, not a finished piece. Human review, editorial judgment, and brand voice alignment are always required before publishing.
Iterate the prompt, not just the output
If the first output is not quite right, adjust the prompt — add more context, change a constraint, make the audience description more specific. The prompt is the brief; brief quality determines output quality.
