Steal My Prompt Vol. 44: The Conflict De-Escalation
A copy-paste prompt for the conversations that ambush you. It interviews you about the outcome you actually want, then returns three responses ordered from cooler to warmer, names which one to lead with, and lists the phrases that would pour fuel on the fire.
Volume 43: The Terminal Teaches Faster Than the Tutorial Does
Copilot, Claude, and NotebookLM all search by matching meaning instead of keywords, turning your files into a map of related ideas. That same shortcut can also return the nearest answer instead of the correct one, especially with messy data, mixed-up jargon, or oversharing permissions.
The Future of Work Is Here, Waiting to Be Claimed
I approve terminal commands at home without thinking. At work, one request to change files on someone else's machine stopped me cold and taught me more than months of easy reps: claiming the future of work means choosing discomfort before anyone hands you permission.
Steal My Prompt Vol. 43: The Insurance Denial Decoder
A denial letter arrives full of policy codes with no translation. This prompt reads the letter, finds the exact reason for the denial, and drafts a personalized appeal letter ready to adapt and send, so the response is not a blank page.
Volume 42: Own the Routine, Rent the Frontier When It Counts
Every AI agent has a dial that decides how much it does before it stops and asks you. Here's how to find it, and how to brief an agent so its work is actually usable.
A Dependency Is a Dependency, Whatever the Contract Calls It
I watched a public company cut its AI bill in half while usage kept climbing, and it forced me to ask a harder question: which parts of my own intelligence are worth owning, and which are fine to rent by the token.
Steal My Prompt Vol. 42: The Policy Impact Brief
A new CMS rule or payer policy update lands, and your team wants to know what it means by Thursday. This prompt turns the document into a two-minute brief: what changed, who it touches, and what to do first.
Volume 41: The Best AI You Are Not Allowed to Use
One of Claude's most useful features stays invisible until you flip a single setting, and it is the one that changes long-form work the most. Turn on Code execution and file creation and your writing becomes a workspace you edit in place and iterate on.
