25 Claude Prompts Worth Stealing ๐ŸŽ

From @techyai_cj. I write code for a living and use Claude every single day. These are the prompts I actually reuse. Tap copy, paste into Claude, swap the brackets for your stuff.

๐ŸŽฏ The slide design prompt

the one from the video, full version
the prompt

Make me a 6 slide presentation on [topic] for [audience]. Design rules: one idea per slide, huge readable text, absolutely no bullet point soup. Dark background, one bright accent color, generous white space. Slide 1 is a hook that makes them want slide 2. Slides 2 through 5 each make exactly one point backed by a number or a concrete example, and at least one slide must use a simple chart or diagram instead of text. Slide 6 is a single clear takeaway. Make it look like a design studio made it, not a corporate template.

then upgrade it

Now make slide 3 more visual. Replace the text with a simple chart or diagram that shows the same thing.

then sharpen it

Rewrite every headline to be under 7 words and punchier. Keep the meaning, lose the filler.

06

Here are 3 things I wrote. Learn my voice from them. From now on in this chat, write everything the way I would. First task: [task]. [paste samples]

07

Rewrite this so nobody can tell AI touched it. Vary the sentence lengths, cut the buzzwords, no tidy summary at the end, and keep one small imperfection a human would leave. [paste text]

08

Now make it better. Cut anything generic, sharpen the first sentence, and end on the strongest point. Show me what you changed and why.

09

Write 5 completely different opening lines for this. One curiosity, one bold claim, one number, one question, one story. [paste draft or topic]

10

Be my tough editor. Read this and tell me: where you got bored, what you did not believe, and what you would delete. Be specific, not polite. [paste draft]

๐Ÿ’ฐ Money and business

for side hustles and small businesses

15

I have [X hours] a week and this skill: [skill]. Give me 3 realistic ways to make an extra $500 a month with it. No dropshipping, no courses, nothing that needs an audience. Then break down week one for the best option.

๐Ÿง  Learn anything

Claude as your personal tutor

Quiz me on [topic]. One question at a time, wait for my answer, tell me what I got wrong and why, and get harder as I get better.

19

I am about to make this decision: [describe]. Argue against it as hard as you can. Then argue for it. Then tell me what a wise friend who knows me would say.
