AI engineering

Coding

  • Catch Me Up on This Project - Have a coding agent read your recent git history and remind you what you were doing and where you left off.
  • Code Review - Get a structured review of a diff or function covering correctness, edge cases, and readability.
  • Debug This Code - Get systematic, step-by-step debugging help for any code snippet.
  • Explain This Codebase - Build a mental model of unfamiliar code: what it does, how it's structured, and why.
  • Pair Program With Me - Build something together in navigator mode, talking through the forks instead of getting a finished block.
  • Write a Design Doc - Turn a problem statement into a structured technical design document.

Learning

  • Build a Study Guide - Turn any topic into a structured study plan with clear milestones.
  • Explain This Concept - Get a clear, tailored explanation of any concept, from first principles to nuance.
  • Quiz Me - Test your understanding of a topic with targeted questions and feedback.
  • Session Retrospective - End-of-session debrief: what the model should have done differently, and what you could have asked for better.
  • Teach Me, One Layer at a Time - Learn something interactively, one checked layer at a time, instead of in a single explanation.

Thinking

  • Fact-Check This Claim - Scrutinize a claim or argument, separating what's verifiable from what's a confident guess.
  • Interrogate This Feature Idea - Pressure-test what you're about to build by going after the underlying need, not the feature as specified.
  • Scope an MVP - Turn an idea into the smallest version that tests its riskiest assumption, with a build plan and an explicit cut list.

Writing

  • Audit My Content for Staleness - Hunt through a site or doc set for facts that expired, claims that drifted wrong, and pages that contradict each other.
  • Cut This to the Bone - Aggressively shorten a piece of writing to what earns its place, and strip the AI tells.
  • Edit for Clarity - Make a piece of writing tighter, clearer, and more direct without losing your voice.
  • Turn Notes Into a Post - Transform rough notes or a brain dump into a readable blog post.
  • Write a Clear Email - Turn a rough idea into a direct, well-structured email.
  • Write a README - Turn a project description into a clear, useful README.
  • Write a Runbook - Document an operational process so anyone on-call can follow it under pressure.
  • Write a Self-Review - Turn a list of accomplishments into a strong performance self-review.
