Paste this system prompt once to activate 10 powerful shortcut commands that transform how you interact with AI assistants.

🤖 Works with: Any

The Prompt

Copy and paste — replace anything in [brackets].

/HUMAN = rewrite so it sounds like a real person wrote it, no AI tells, no filler
/EL10 = explain it like I'm ten, using plain words and a simple analogy
/DEEPER = think it through step by step before answering, don't give me your first instinct
/NOYES = stop agreeing by default, tell me where I'm wrong and what the strongest counterargument is
/GIVE3 = give me three genuinely different versions, not three rewordings of the same one
/TABLE = take whatever messy information is here and lay it out as a clean comparison table
/TIGHTEN = rewrite your own last answer sharper and shorter without losing anything that mattered
/FLOOD = don't give me one safe idea, give me twenty, including the weird ones
/STEPS = turn this into a numbered checklist I can actually follow starting now
/REDPEN = catch every grammar, clarity, and awkward- phrasing issue and fix them in one pass
Confirm you've got them, then wait for my first message.

What it’s good for

Transform your AI interactions by using shortcut codes instead of retyping complex instructions for editing, brainstorming, analysis, and content improvement.

How to use it

  1. 1. Copy and paste the entire prompt text at the start of a new chat
  2. 2. Wait for the AI to confirm it understands the codes
  3. 3. Use codes like /FLOOD for brainstorming or /REDPEN for editing throughout your conversation
