FAQ
Do I copy the prompt exactly?
Start by copying it exactly, then replace bracketed fields with your details. If the output is off, tighten constraints and add examples.
What if the assistant asks clarifying questions?
Answer them, then re-run the prompt. Better prompts reduce questions by providing missing context up front.
Can I use these templates for client work?
Yes, but you should verify facts and rewrite for your brand voice. Treat AI output as a draft.
