Prompt of the DayWrite a first-draft process doc (SOP) from how you do it

You do something well and need to document it so others can too.

Turn my description into a clean step-by-step process document (SOP) someone new could follow. Include: purpose, when to use it, numbered steps, tools needed, common mistakes to avoid, and a definition of 'done.' Ask me about any step that seems incomplete.

How I do it:
[describe the process]

Word of the DayAI Hallucination

A hallucination is when an AI states something false or fabricated — a fake citation, statistic, or quote — with total confidence.

Try ThisRewrite anything for the exact person who has to read it

Paste your content and say: 'Rewrite this for [my CEO / a new client / a skeptical engineer]. Match what they care about and cut what they don't.'

1. Paste the draft.
2. Name the exact reader and what they care about.
3. Ask for the rewrite in their language.

Don't Do ThisDon't say "make it shorter"

"Shorter" is not a measurement, so you get a version that is slightly shorter and just as flabby, and then you ask again.

Instead: Give it a number and a constraint: "120 words. Lead with the decision. Keep exactly one specific figure." Countable instructions get followed.
