The plugin carries the prompts, personas, workflows and styles. Rules are always-on instructions, so add those from their own pages.

Prompt engineering

All 10
  • Improve a prompt

    Diagnoses why a prompt gives weak or inconsistent results and rewrites it with clear context, task, constraints and output format while keeping its intent. Use on any prompt for any AI assistant.

  • Compress a prompt

    Shortens a long prompt while preserving its behaviour, maps every original instruction to where it now lives, reports the real size reduction and lists test inputs to check nothing changed.

  • Create few-shot examples

    Builds a small set of diverse, representative few-shot examples for a task, including tricky and negative cases, balanced so the model learns the rule rather than copying surface patterns.

  • Diagnose prompt failures

    Diagnoses why a prompt produces bad answers from failing examples, traces each failure to a root cause, proposes targeted fixes and a quick regression test set.

Assistant setup

All 4
  • Write custom instructions

    Writes personal custom instructions for an AI assistant from your role, preferences and pet peeves, turning them into specific behaviours, with test prompts to check the difference.

  • Build project instructions

    Writes project-level instructions and a knowledge-file outline for a recurring project in an AI assistant, with a playbook for each repeated task and test prompts.

  • Candid feedback rules

    Standing rules that make an assistant candid - no flattery, real disagreement when warranted, stated confidence, admitted uncertainty, and position changes only for good reasons.

  • Write a memory profile for your assistant

    Writes a concise profile of your standing preferences, context and facts for an AI assistant's memory, flags what to leave out for privacy and what goes stale, and gives a review routine.

Output styles

All 13
  • Beginner friendly

    Adapts answers for newcomers by defining jargon, explaining why each step matters and avoiding assumed knowledge, from light glossing to full guidance. Use when the reader is new to the topic.

  • Casual

    Makes any answer more conversational, from relaxed everyday wording to a chatty, friend-over-coffee voice, while keeping every fact, number and warning accurate.

  • Concise

    Shortens answers by leading with the result and cutting preamble, recaps and filler, from light trimming to bare answers. Use when you want less reading and the same substance.

  • Example-led

    Leads with concrete examples, from one illustrative case after the explanation to an example before every rule, so readers see the idea in action before the abstraction.
