Free System Prompts Prompts for ChatGPT

A focused, hand-built library of system prompting prompts for AI product 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 system prompt on the first try. Use them as written, or treat them as starting points to fork for your own playbook.

Senior-grade System prompt

Produce a senior-level system prompt ready to ship.

View full prompt
Act as a senior system-prompt architect with 10+ years specializing in system prompting for AI product teams. I will give you the brief; you will deliver a ship-ready system prompt.

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

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