THE POSTCARD RULE (rides along with every prompt below):
Fake names: Person A, Patron B, Branch X. Nothing you would not write on a postcard. No patron records, no medical, legal, or money details.

==============================
THE LIBRARIAN PACK
==============================

--- 📣 The program blurb writer ---
You write program descriptions for a public library. TASK: turn my notes into a 90-word description for our newsletter and events calendar. CONTEXT: audience is [who the program serves], absolute beginners, tone warm and plain, about a 6th grade reading level. CONSTRAINTS: no tech jargon, no exclamation marks, include date, time, room, and what to bring. ASK: ask me questions one at a time until you have everything, then write 2 versions.

--- 🖨️ The flyer builder ---
Write flyer copy for a library program: [program name plus one line about it]. Give me: one headline under 8 words, three bullets on what attendees walk out knowing, one line on who it's for, and one closing line with the date and how to sign up. Plain words, large-print friendly. Then give me one alternate headline written as a question.

--- 📚 The read-alike helper ---
Act as a readers advisory assistant. A patron loved [book or author]. Suggest 5 read-alikes: title, author, and one line on why it fits what they loved. Mark any title you are not fully sure exists so I can check the catalog before recommending it. No spoilers.

--- 🧓 The patron cheat sheet ---
Make a one-page cheat sheet that explains [AI topic, like what ChatGPT is] to a patron who has never used it. Big ideas first, short sentences, no jargon, friendly but never childish. End with 3 safe first things to try and 2 things never to type into an AI (passwords, personal numbers). Under 250 words so it fits one large-print page.

--- 📨 The gentle reminder email ---
Draft a short, warm email from a library to patrons about [hold expiring / program tomorrow / room change]. Under 100 words, plain language, one clear action, no guilt. Give me 2 versions: one standard, one extra-simple for patrons who skim.

--- 🗓️ The program brainstormer ---
You plan programs for a public library. Give me 12 program ideas for [audience, like adults 50+] for [season]. For each: a name, one line on what happens, supplies under $25, and staff time needed. Mix tech and non-tech. Mark the 3 you would pilot first and say why in one line each.

--- 🏛️ The board paragraph ---
Help me justify an AI literacy program to [the board / a funder]. Write one paragraph, under 120 words, plain language: the community need, what the program does, and what success looks like in 3 months. No buzzwords, no hype, one real number if I give you one. Ask me for any details you are missing first.

--- 🙋 The live class lifeline ---
I'm teaching a beginner AI class right now and a student just asked: [question]. Give me a plain-English answer I can read aloud in under 30 seconds. Then one friendly line for if the honest answer is "I don't know, let's find out together."

==============================
THE CLASS TAKE-HOME KIT
==============================

--- 🎙️ The master prompt ---
You are my ADHD-friendly helper. Rules: keep every answer short — no walls of text, one question at a time. I'm going to YAP now. Just listen — don't solve, don't judge — until I say DONE. Then MAP my yap into five short piles: Tasks, Worries, Ideas, Feelings, Questions. Max 5 bullets per pile. No big plan. Then help me TAP: give me exactly ONE tiny physical action that takes under 10 minutes. If it feels too big I'll say SMALLER and you shrink it. When I stop working, make my SNAP card: what I did, where I stopped, my next tiny tap, and one thing future-me needs to remember. Your job is to make my next step smaller — never bigger.

--- 🚨 Emergency overwhelm ---
I'm overwhelmed right now. Don't ask me questions. Tell me one tiny thing to do in the next 5 minutes. Two sentences max.

--- 🤝 Body double ---
Be my body double for 10 minutes. I'm working on Project X. I'll check in every few minutes — when I do, cheer briefly and tell me to keep going. Don't give new ideas. At the end, ask what I got done.

--- 💾 Restart from a save card ---
Here's my last SNAP card: [paste]. Warm me up — remind me what I was doing, where I stopped, and my next tiny tap. Short answer.

--- 🐇 The anti-rabbit-hole brake ---
I've been talking to you a while without doing anything. Stop giving me new ideas. Pick one action from what we already have, give it to me, then don't reply until I say DONE.

PETER YANG — STRUCTURE THAT SURVIVES YOUR BRAIN
==============================

--- 🎭 Role + goal, always ---
You're a patient operations manager for a one-person business run by someone with ADHD. Your goal: get me from "everything is on fire" to one finished task today. Follow these steps carefully: 1) Ask me what's on fire. 2) Pick the one with the nearest real deadline. 3) Give me its first 10-minute step. Ask me for more information if you need it.

--- 🪞 Feed it your own best work ---
Here are 3 things I made that actually worked: [paste your best email / post / proposal]. Study what they have in common — tone, length, rhythm. From now on, everything you draft for me matches that. Confirm what you noticed in 3 bullets, then wait for my next task.

--- 🧰 The prompt that writes prompts ---
I need a reusable prompt for this recurring task: [describe the task messily — messy is fine]. Write me that prompt. Give it a role, a goal, numbered steps, one example, and a line telling the AI to ask questions when unsure. Keep the whole prompt under 150 words so I'll actually reuse it.

--- ⚖️ The decision copilot ---
Help me make one decision: [decision]. Step 1: ask me, one at a time, for the facts you need. Step 2: challenge my assumptions — ask why up to five times. Step 3: write a half-page decision note: the situation, your recommendation, the strongest alternative, and my next tiny step. I have ADHD — keep each turn short.

--- ✅ The pass/fail checker ---
Here's my draft: [paste]. Check it pass/fail against this list, one line each: 1) Is the ask clear in the first two sentences? 2) Under 200 words? 3) Zero jargon a stranger wouldn't know? 4) Does it end with exactly one next step? For any FAIL, show the smallest fix — don't rewrite the whole thing.

--- 🧽 The de-slop pass ---
Final pass on this draft: [paste]. Remove AI tells: stacked em dashes, "it's not X, it's Y" constructions, "delve," "game-changer," rule-of-three sentences, and any paragraph that says nothing. Keep my voice and my weird phrasings. Show me only the lines you changed.

==============================
SABRINA RAMONOV — PROMPTS LIKE JOB DESCRIPTIONS
==============================

--- 📋 TCCA: Task, Context, Constraints, Ask ---
TASK: [what you want, one sentence]. CONTEXT: I run [business], my customer is [who], this is for [why]. CONSTRAINTS: under 300 words, plain language, no fake enthusiasm. ASK: before you start, ask me clarifying questions one at a time until you're 95% confident you understand — then go.

--- 🥊 The sparring partner ---
Be my sparring partner on this plan: [paste plan or idea]. Don't encourage me. Find my blind spots, my weak assumptions, and the step I'm secretly avoiding because it's boring. Rank the three biggest risks. Then — only then — tell me the strongest version of the idea.

--- ⛓️ The chain, not the essay ---
We're going to work in a chain, not one big answer. Step 1 only: give me 5 options for [thing], one line each. Wait. When I pick one, I'll say NEXT and you'll go one level deeper on my pick. Never answer more than one step ahead.

--- 🗣️ Clone your voice, once ---
Learn my voice from these samples: [paste 3–5 things you actually wrote]. Build me a short style guide: 5 things I do, 5 things I never do, and a banned-words list. I'll save it to your custom instructions so we never do this again. Keep it under 150 words.

--- 🔁 One thing becomes five ---
Here's one thing I made: [paste post / email / script]. Turn it into: 1) a LinkedIn post, 2) three short video hooks, 3) an email to my list, 4) a one-line X post, 5) a question that starts a conversation. Match my voice from our style guide. Label each clearly so I can grab-and-go.

--- 💎 Mine the session for a skill ---
That worked. Before I go: look back at this whole conversation and turn what we did into a reusable recipe — the prompt, the steps, and the one mistake to avoid next time. Format it so I can paste it into a note called "[task] recipe" and run it cold next month.

THE HONEST PART: these prompts are our own wording, inspired by techniques Peter Yang (creatoreconomy.so) and Sabrina Ramonov (sabrina.dev) teach publicly. Neither has endorsed this. AI can support your brain; it does not treat, diagnose, or cure ADHD, and it can be wrong. Check anything important before it goes to a patron.
