Free Domain Specific Prompts for ChatGPT

A focused, hand-built library of domain-specific engineering prompts for engineering teams. Each one is structured for an LLM - role, task, constraints, output - so you can paste it into ChatGPT or Claude and get a usable domain doc on the first try. Use them as written, or treat them as starting points to fork for your own playbook.

Senior-grade Domain doc

Produce a senior-level domain doc ready to ship.

View full prompt
Act as a senior domain engineer with 10+ years specializing in domain-specific engineering for engineering teams. I will give you the brief; you will deliver a ship-ready domain doc.

Brief: [PASTE BRIEF HERE].
Constraints: must be specific, measurable, and grounded in domain-specific engineering best practice. Avoid generic advice and obvious tips.

Deliver:
1. The full domain doc (the actual artifact, not a description of it).
2. Three sharpening notes - what you would test or improve first.
3. One contrarian angle most domain engineers miss.

Ask one clarifying question only if a hard blocker remains; otherwise proceed with stated assumptions. Use plain language, no fluff, no filler. Quote evidence when citing sources.

My domain doc: [PASTE HERE].
Target domain accuracy: [STATE TARGET].
Audience: engineering teams.

Return:
- 5 specific weaknesses, each tied to domain accuracy.
- A rewritten domain doc that fixes them.
- A diff-style explanation of what changed and why.
