110 AI prompts that actually work
Prompts for the work people actually do: reviewing a diff, cutting a draft, interrogating a source, choosing a chart, threat-modelling a feature. Every one specifies an output format, because prompts that do not produce different results each time.
Square brackets mark the parts you fill in. Nothing here requires an account.

How these are written
- Every prompt fixes the output format. Without one, the same prompt gives a different shape each time.
- Several ask the model to refuse, to ask first, or to say what it could not determine. That is usually where the value is.
- They are written for English use rather than translated, so the phrasing is the phrasing that works.
