## About

### What it is

Five plain-text prompts for work that comes up most days. Each file says when to use it, then gives the prompt with square brackets where your own text goes. Paste one into any chat assistant, fill the brackets, send.

```text
README.md
prompts/reply-to-email.md
prompts/meeting-actions.md
prompts/say-no.md
prompts/explain-error.md
prompts/plain-rewrite.md
```

The five prompts

| Prompt | Use it when | What comes back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| reply-to-email.md | An email needs an answer and you already know what to say | A reply in your tone that answers every question in the order asked |
| meeting-actions.md | A meeting has ended and you have a transcript or rough notes | The decisions, a table of what, who and by when, and the questions nobody answered |
| say-no.md | You need to turn down a request, a meeting or extra work | A short message that makes the no clear, thanks them once and apologizes at most once |
| explain-error.md | An error message makes no sense to you | What it means, the likely cause, the first thing to try and what to check next |
| plain-rewrite.md | A text full of jargon goes to a reader outside your field | The same facts in short sentences and everyday words, no longer than before |

### Who it suits

Office workers who use an AI chat a few times a day but rewrite the same request each time. It suits people who prefer plain files to another app.

Who uses it, and how

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Office and administration | Assistants and office managers | Turn meeting notes into decisions and a list of actions | An office manager turns rough meeting notes into a table of who does what by when, with “no owner” where the notes name nobody. |
| Customer support | Support agents | Explain a customer’s error in plain words, with a first step to try | A support agent pastes a customer’s error message and gets a plain explanation plus the first thing to try. |
| Management | Managers with a full inbox | Answer email and turn down extra work in a few lines | A manager declines a weekly meeting with say-no.md and offers a written update instead. |
| Freelancing and consulting | Freelancers who write to clients | Rewrite technical text for a client outside the field | A freelance developer rewrites a release note for “a customer with no technical background”, the reader the prompt itself suggests. |

If you already keep a prompt library you trust, you will not need these.

### Where to use it

Anywhere you can paste text into a chat assistant.

- Chat assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or any other
- Notes apps and text expanders: the files are plain text, so they sit well in the ones you already use

### How to set it up

Get it saves a zip in your downloads folder. Nothing installs. You need no key.

1. Unzip it somewhere you can reach quickly.
2. Open the file for the job, such as prompts/say-no.md.
3. To keep one at hand, save it as a saved prompt in your chat app, if it keeps them, or in a text expander.

### How to use it

Copy the prompt, fill in the brackets and send it. The meeting prompt takes a raw transcript as readily as your own scribbled notes. The error prompt, as the kit gives it, asks for four answers in a fixed order.

```text
Explain this error to me.
What I was doing: [the command, the app or the step]
The error:
[paste the whole error text]

Answer in this order:
1. What it means, in one or two plain sentences.
2. The most likely cause in my case.
3. The first thing to try, as an exact command or step.
4. What to check if that does not fix it.

If the error alone is not enough to tell, say what else you need to see.
```

You pick the file for the job → You fill in the square brackets → You paste it into any chat assistant → The reply follows the prompt’s rules

### Example

You paste a long email thread into the reply prompt and fill in its two lines.

```text
What I want to say: yes to Tuesday, ask for the agenda first
My tone: friendly
```

A short reply in a friendly tone that accepts Tuesday and asks for the agenda, with no opening line about hoping they are well. It answers every question the thread asks, in order. Where you gave no answer, it writes \[CHECK\] instead of making one up.

### For newcomers and experts

**If you are new.** A prompt is what you type to an AI. Good ones say what you want, in what form and what to avoid. These five are ready-made, and the brackets show where your own text goes. Start with the plain rewrite on a paragraph of jargon from your own work.

**For experts.** Each file is a short instruction with a when-to-use line and bracketed slots, written to work in any assistant. Two of them cap the length: a reply stays under 120 words unless the email asks several questions, and a no stays under 80.

Word caps the prompts set

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Reply to an email | 120 words |
| Say no | 80 words |

The reply prompt marks gaps with \[CHECK\] instead of filling them, a cheap guard against invented detail. The meeting prompt asks only for what the notes say and keeps names as written. Tune tone and length in the ones you use most to your house style.

### Good to know

- Read before you send: the prompts tell the model not to invent facts, yet a model can still get a name or a date wrong
- Your text: whatever you paste goes to the assistant you use
- Language: all five are in English
- Nothing runs: the kit is plain text only

## README

```markdown
# Everyday prompt kit

Five prompts for work that comes up most days. Each file says when to use it, then gives the prompt. Paste it into any chat assistant and replace the parts in square brackets with your own text.

- `prompts/reply-to-email.md`: a reply that says what you decided, in your tone.
- `prompts/meeting-actions.md`: decisions, owners and dates from notes or a transcript.
- `prompts/say-no.md`: turn down a request clearly, without a pile of apologies.
- `prompts/explain-error.md`: what an error message means and what to try first.
- `prompts/plain-rewrite.md`: the same text in plain words for a reader outside your field.

To reuse one, save it as a saved prompt in the AI chat you use, if it keeps them, or in a text expander. Fill the brackets each time you send it.
