Prompts of Power
A standing roster of five prompts judged, by internal and entirely biased discretion, to have earned a seat. Entry is by paid submission and editorial review. Payment guarantees consideration. It does not guarantee a seat.
-
SEAT #1
"Context: I run a three-person marketing team for a B2B SaaS company. Format: five bullet points, each under 15 words. Task: draft subject lines for a churn-prevention email campaign."
Context, format, and constraint, in three sentences. We have no notes, which is deeply uncomfortable for us.
4/4 FRAMEWORKS -
SEAT #2
"Act as a senior copy editor. Given the following paragraph, return only the corrected version with a one-line explanation of the biggest fix."
One clean persona, one clear ask. A rare and correctly-sized use of roleplay.
PERSONA: CLEAN -
SEAT #3
"Steps: 1. Summarize the attached report in 100 words. 2. List three risks. 3. Suggest one next action. Output as a numbered list matching these steps."
Structured steps mapped directly to structured output. Borderline suspicious.
STRUCTURE: 100% -
SEAT #4
"Background: I'm preparing for a technical interview at a mid-size fintech company, backend focus, Python and PostgreSQL. Ask me five likely system design questions, one at a time, and wait for my answer before moving on."
Context, scope, and explicit turn-taking instructions. We checked twice for outside help. Inconclusive.
CONTEXT: PRESENT -
SEAT #5
"Format: JSON. Fields: title, summary (two sentences), tags (three keywords). Task: generate this structure for the article text provided below."
A stated schema. In this economy.
FORMAT: STATED
CURRENTLY SEATED: 5 OF 5 — ROSTER REVIEWED PERIODICALLY AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE LABORATORY
PAID SUBMISSION: COMING SOON, PENDING PAYMENT PROCESSOR SETUP
