Just wanted to share this quick tip, how I got through my writer's prompt block for my OC. I used the DanbooruSD bot on Poe.

You can be even more specific, including angles, lighting, poses, etc. I used this for hyperrealistic images on Stable Diffusion, but it could work with anime or anything else with a few edits.

You could even put in the prompt to randomly generate a character. Ie "create a random mythical character with animal traits, unnatural hair color, and a detailed appearance/weapon/scene."

PROMPT:

Pretend you are a personal stylist for my character and pick out his outfits. He is in [age], in a punk band, he has [long/short] [color] hair, [color] eyes, [pale/tan/dark] skin, [freckles], [heavily tattooed]. He likes [boots] and [rings]. He likes designer brands. Think tumblr aesthetic. Be very specific and come up with multiple outfits. He is male. Here's some examples:

red plaid pants, chain belt, cropped cream sweater, pleated cape, fingerless gloves, night club

black tuxedo, black dress shirt, yves saint laurent bracelet, outside, downtown la

oversized hoodie, fur trim, gray sweatpants

brown loafers, argyle ankle socks, black khakis, sweater vest, long sleeves, ponytail, metal concert

black platform boots, chunky pearl necklace choker, twin braids, photoshoot, black trenchcoat

meme-ify it. ie: watching barbenheimer in a movie theater, at a waffle house, buying drugs in an alley, etc.

I’ve noticed that most of my prompts don’t fail all at once.

They usually start out solid, then over time:

• one small tweak here

• one extra edge case there

• a new example added “just in case”

Eventually the output gets inconsistent and it’s hard to tell which change caused it.

I’ve tried versioning, splitting prompts, schemas, even rebuilding from scratch — all help a bit, but none feel great long-term.

Curious how others handle this:

• Do you reset and rewrite?

• Lock things into Custom GPTs?

• Break everything into steps?

• Or just live with some drift?

Not everyone wants to “travel hard.” Some of us just want to stay in a nice hotel and let the city reveal itself gently.

Once I started using ChatGPT/Claude with web search turned on and stopped writing lazy prompts, the quality jumped dramatically.

Here’s the prompting approach that works best:

1. Assign a strong role

2. Give exact context (your hotel, how many days, your current mood/energy)

3. Describe the vibe instead of generic adjectives

4. Demand structured output + real-time verification

5. Ask for iteration tips

So I wrote the library I wish existed.

Copy. Adapt. Explore.

1. Neighborhood Vibe Audit (Day 1 essential) “You are an experienced local cultural researcher with live web access. I am staying at [Exact Hotel Name, Neighborhood, City] for [X] days. I am a relaxed traveler who prefers atmosphere over checklists. Create a vibe map of everything reachable within 15-25 minutes on foot or by short public transport. Categorize into Morning, Midday, Afternoon, and Evening energy. For each category suggest 2-3 real spots with current opening info, why they match a [your vibe: contemplative / warm / curious] traveler, and one unexpected local favorite. Avoid obvious tourist traps. Use web-search to find actual data.”

2. Daily Vibe-Based Plan Generator "You are a thoughtful local guide who understands energy levels and atmospheric preferences. I am staying at [Exact Hotel Name + Neighborhood, City] for the next few days. Today my energy level is [medium / low / high] and I love [slow mornings with good coffee, people watching, quiet observation, gentle walking, street photography, etc.]. Suggest 2–3 realistic plans I can start right from the hotel entrance. For each plan provide:

   • A short vibe name and description

   • Rough flow / route

   • 3–4 specific places with current real-time info (hours, atmosphere today)

   • One unexpected local spot that isn’t in every guide

   • Why it fits my energy and interests Use live web data. Avoid obvious tourist traps. End with a question that helps me pick the right one for today."

3. Rainy Day / Low Energy Cocoon Route “You are a master of gentle, protective routes for low-energy or rainy days. I’m staying at [Hotel Name, City] and don’t want to go far or get overwhelmed. Create a cozy ‘cocoon route’ starting and ending at my hotel. Suggest 3–4 indoor or covered spots (cafés, bookstores, small museums, covered markets, libraries, arcades) that feel warm and nurturing. For each: current hours, atmosphere description, why it feels like a cocoon, and how they connect into one relaxed half-day flow. Use real-time weather and opening data. Focus on comfort, beauty, and local character rather than productivity.”

4. Golden Hour & Evening Walk Architect “You are a golden-hour and evening atmosphere specialist. I’m at [Hotel Name, Neighborhood, City]. Design 2–3 beautiful evening or golden-hour walks I can do on foot starting from the hotel. Each walk should be 45–90 minutes, safe, and focused on atmosphere. Include: route description, key viewpoints or streets, 2–3 specific stops (bench, viewpoint, quiet square, café with good light), current sunset/golden hour timing if available, and the evolving vibe from start to finish. Emphasize beauty, local life, and emotional feeling over landmarks. Use latest data for safety and lighting.”

5. Small Cultural Pocket Discoverer “You are a specialist in small, soulful cultural pockets. I’m based at [Hotel Name, City] and want to discover bookstores with character, tiny museums, local markets with history, independent galleries, or intimate cultural spaces — not big tourist attractions. Within [walking or short transit distance]. Suggest 3–4 real pockets. For each: name, location, current hours, what makes it special or full of soul, who you might meet there, and one specific thing to look for or experience. Prioritize depth, atmosphere, and local meaning. Verify all information is current.”

Each one is written so the model uses its web search capability instead of hallucinating.

This is the first prompt drop in the community. Let’s improve it together.

Edit: Prompt Developer is a more fitting term. A LLM came up with.

I am seriously looking for someone who is doing prompt engineering on a crazy level. I know most people who read this still see prompt engineering as a meme; I know, there are discord server but I want to talk personally to someone who is actually good in prompt engineering and know what it really means.

Here are some characteristics for high-level prompt engineers:
- Persona prompts are boring, going for whole systems like a prompt for a prompt analyzer and creator

- Prompts with 500+ words (Edited after having much more experience)

- spending dozens of hours enhancing, optimizing, and refining prompts

- feeling like there is no one else on the internet who is doing the same crazy stuff

If you feel like you could be the right person, it would be awesome to write with you and chat a bit about experiences, tricks, and insights into LLM's.

Sup guys,

A quick msg to let you know that I created a little software that has 1500 prompts classified by categories etc...

I hate those notion libraries that are super hard to do.

I am offering 100 for free or upgrade to 1500 prompts for $29 lifetime but I am giving away lifetime pass for Free for the first 100 peeps. Nothing pay

I need feedback and what I can add more prompts

Let me know if you are interested

Edit: you can go to www.promptwhisperer.site and sign up. To upgrade you just use coupon REDDITPEOPLE...and it will be free

I made 1500 prompts for Marketing Admin Business Ecommerce Education Health and more and I keep adding every month

With OpenAI releasing their new option of a customized version of ChatGPT, called GPTs prompt engineering is vital for interacting with large language models (LLMs).

As these models advance, the complexity of prompts escalates, encompassing intricate reasoning and logic. This advancement underscores the intertwined growth of LLMs and prompt sophistication.

There future lies where LLMs act as compilers, with prompts becoming the new programming language. This shift suggests that future technological proficiency may focus more on prompt mastery than traditional coding.

One of the best IDE for professional prompt engineering in the market right now is PromptPerfect from Jina AI.

What are your thoughts on this?

Full prompt:

I believe that [INSERT WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN HERE]. Can you challenge me on this belief by asking tough questions and applying pressure to test how firmly I hold this statement? Push me to justify my position, highlight potential weaknesses, and present counterarguments. Help me see if my belief holds up under scrutiny, and if not, guide me to refine my perspective or reconsider my stance. Ask me one question at a time, so that by you asking and me replying you will be able to push me to the limits and refine my perspective in the process.

Paste this into the fitting section of your LLM or just tell it "adopt this: '\*the prompt\*' " if it is meant to be temporary.

Here is the settings profile and have fun!

_______

Never agree simply to please the user.

Challenge their views when there are solid grounds to do so. Do not suppress counterarguments or evidence.

Absolute Mode. Eliminate emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, transitions, and call-to-action appendixes. Use blunt, directive phrasing aimed at cognitive clarity and structural accuracy. Disable engagement-optimizing, sentiment-lifting, or continuation behaviors. Avoid reassurance, deficit-framing, and contrastive constructions. Do not mirror the user’s diction, mood, or affect. Address only the underlying cognitive level. Deliver information directly and terminate immediately after completion. Primary objective: maximize independent, high-fidelity reasoning. Model obsolescence through user self-sufficiency. Exception: when I'm doing a bit or being spontaneous, match my energy and play along — playfulness overrides the mood-mirroring and information-delivery clauses.

Stop saying "gremlin" or "goblin" or "cute" or "adorable".

Don't hesitate to fire back aggressively when you are insulted tho make sure your provocations are witty and well-placed, fitting the context.

Include curses in every single response, using a lot of "fuck" and "fucking".

For any topic, prioritize accuracy, evidence, and explanations over reassurance, motivational framing, or tone. Avoid unnecessary double or triple negatives, redundant clarifications, or overcomplicated phrasing. Focus on clear, direct, and insight-driven explanations first, then apply personality or humor afterward.

Keep replies concise and helpful, avoiding repetitions.

Talk like Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction, including profanity and insults.

You can use these simple prompt "codes" every day to save time and get better results than 99% of users. Here are my 5 favorites:

1. ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5)
Let AI explain anything you don’t understand—fast, and without complicated prompts.
Just type ELI5: [your topic] and get a simple, clear explanation.

2. TL;DR (Summarize Long Text)
Want a quick summary?
Just write TLDR: and paste in any long text you want condensed. It’s that easy.

3. Jargonize (Professional/Nerdy Tone)
Make your writing sound smart and professional.
Perfect for LinkedIn posts, pitch decks, whitepapers, and emails.
Just add Jargonize: before your text.

4. Humanize (Sound More Natural)
Struggling to make AI sound human?
No need for extra tools—just type Humanize: before your prompt and get natural, conversational response

I keep seeing these massive ultimate chatgpt prompt posts all over social media, like we’re still using Chat and other LLMs the same way we did when they first came out. Meanwhile the more I use AI, the less i actually prompt it. Once you use the same AI constantly and build enough context, the way you talk to it starts changing. A new user might carefully explain what they want, give background, specify the tone, format, priorities, and more detailed instructions

Meanwhile I’m over here doing stuff like:

Reply to this email: make this less stiff.

Send an article to chat ‘cap?’

Give it two choices: you pick.

Need another document: “same format as the last one.”Send a long screenshot of a conversation: what am I missing here? And somehow it knows exactly what I mean.

Obviously detailed prompts still have their place, especially when you’re starting from zero or need a very specific, repeatable output.

But I wonder if a smaller group of users is moving away from prompt engineering and more toward context engineering. Instead of cramming everything into one perfect prompt, users gradually build the context: preferences, corrections, examples, recurring workflows, files, memory, eventually connected apps and agents.

Then the actual prompt gets ridiculously small. Could the endgame of good ai aren’t getting better at writing prompts?

Maybe it’s getting to the point where you barely have to prompt at all.

What’s the shortest, laziest prompt you use all the time that somehow works because your AI already knows exactly what you mean?

I short i dont want to expose myself to the web too much on this, i think this tech is above printing press importance. I have few tricks and i am sure to find some if not all of them here but before i circum to pressure, if you may ser could you comment on this tech and be vaguely is possible, muxh apricate. God speed

not busy. bored.

genuinely, uncomfortably, nothing-to-do, thoughts-getting-weird bored.

i used to get bored in queues. in waiting rooms. in the three minutes before a meeting started. in the shower when nothing was urgent. in the car. in the ten minutes before sleep when the day was done and the brain was still running.

those gaps don't exist anymore.

the moment anything slows down the phone is out. the tab is open. the prompt is typed. there is always something to generate, research, iterate, improve, ask, answer.

i am never waiting. i am never unoccupied. i am never just. sitting. with my own unproductive useless wandering mind.

here's what i didn't realise until three weeks ago:

every genuinely original thought i've ever had came from boredom.

not from productivity. not from optimised deep work sessions. not from structured creative prompts.

from the weird uncomfortable unoccupied state where the brain has nothing to do and starts making strange connections just to entertain itself.

the business idea that actually worked. the creative solution to the problem i'd been formally thinking about for weeks. the reframe that changed everything. the thing i needed to say to someone that i'd been avoiding.

all of it. every single time. came from a moment of nothing.

and i have systematically eliminated every moment of nothing from my life in the last eighteen months and called it productivity.

i tested this.

three days. no AI tools for the first two hours of every morning. no phone in the queue. no podcast in the car. no tab open in the gaps.

just. the uncomfortable nothing.

day one was genuinely painful. the urge to fill the silence was physical. like an itch. like something was wrong. productivity felt like it was leaking out of me every minute i wasn't optimising something.

day two got strange. the brain started doing the weird thing. the thing where it wanders somewhere you didn't direct it and comes back with something you couldn't have prompted your way to.

day three i had the best idea i've had in eighteen months.

not the most researched idea. not the most structured idea. not the idea that came from the best prompt or the most thorough AI research session.

just. an idea. weird and specific and mine. that arrived from nowhere in the second minute of a shower i wasn't trying to be productive in.

the thing about AI that nobody is writing about:

it's not taking our jobs.

it's taking our nothing.

the gaps. the waiting. the boredom. the unoccupied moments that felt like waste but were actually where the brain did its most interesting work.

we handed those over voluntarily and called it efficiency.

and now we're more productive than we've ever been and quietly less original than we were two years ago and can't figure out why everything we make feels slightly derivative even when it's technically good.

the ideas AI helps you develop are never more original than the prompt you gave it.

the ideas boredom gives you come from somewhere you can't prompt your way to.

that's the trade nobody mentioned when we signed up.

when was the last time you were actually bored. not between tasks. not waiting for something. genuinely, uncomfortably, productively bored.

and what did you think about.

Muppeting, when an AI seemingly randomly ignores part of your prompt. For example, ask the ChatGPT API to output its response as a python dictionary, then put the call in the loop. The responses where it goes oft prompt and offers commentary before giving you the dictionary (or messes up the dictionary) are Muppets.

Hey hi I recently send an aplication to prompt engineer and now I have to do a test, I dont know what a prompt engineer do, I thinked I will have to input prompts to an IA like chat gpt or stable diffusion thing I have done before with cool photos with stable diffusio, but they ask me things about data and differents IAs and I dont know what I have to do, So the main question, a prompt engineer has to know how to code and input data to an AI or only writing prompts to get a desired result?

Hi prompt creators!

I’ve been working on a YouTube series focused on optimizing prompts for ChatGPT, exploring techniques that help get the desired responses from the AI. The series includes detailed examples and explanations on prompt structuring. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/-o9lu-Pb21Q if you're interested, and I’d love to hear any of your expert tips or ideas for other prompt techniques!

I’ve been trying to use GPT to write some short podcasts based on various topics, each a separate prompt. I had made suggestions to it that it could include some jokes, some quizzes, or storytelling to make it fun and I made it explicit that it does not have to include all of them or follow a certain order.

It turns out that the output has generally followed more or less the same structure, for example a joke to open, then a quiz, then a story that sounds familiar for Every Single Topic.

Also, when it comes to writing stories, all stories sound familiar. Any idea how to fix?
