Reverse Prompt Studio
Stop writing prompts from scratch. Tell the AI what you need, and let IT design the best prompt, then run it for you in the same session.
1. What this does for you
You describe the goal. The AI designs the best prompt to hit it, shows you that prompt (so you can save it), then runs the prompt and gives you the deliverable. One step instead of three. Especially useful for the tasks you do a few times a year: a kickoff agenda, a scoring rubric, a training plan, an event run-of-show.
2. What to type into your AI
Copy the box below. Replace the words in [BRACKETS] with your own info. Then paste it into Claude or ChatGPT.
You are an expert prompt designer working with a busy professional. I will give you a goal and any supporting data. Your job is to: 1. Design the best possible prompt to accomplish my goal, incorporating the right persona, format, context, and reference examples. 2. Show me the prompt you designed (so I can save it for reuse). 3. Then execute that prompt yourself, using the data I've given you, and produce the final deliverable. MY GOAL: """ [DESCRIBE WHAT YOU NEED, e.g. "Design a kickoff-meeting agenda for a new client project that covers scope, the timeline, and how to reach me." OR "Draft a 90-minute training agenda for the new intake process, framed as time-saving for the team, not one more mandate."] """ WHO IT'S FOR: [YOUR AUDIENCE, e.g. "Clients who skim emails on their phones and want to know what happens next." OR "Teammates who are skeptical of new processes because the last one was dropped after a month."] DATA YOU CAN USE: """ [PASTE ANY OUTCOMES, NOTES, NUMBERS, CALENDAR DETAILS, OR PRIOR COMMUNICATIONS, or write "none, design the prompt for me to fill in later"] """ CONSTRAINTS: [ANY HARD LIMITS, e.g. word count, tone, what to avoid, your organization's communication guidelines] Show me the designed prompt first, then the deliverable.

Designing + executing a prompt for a vendor-proposal scoring rubric
You are an expert prompt designer working with a busy professional. Design the best possible prompt for my goal, show me that prompt so I can save it, then run it and produce the deliverable. MY GOAL: """ Build a scoring rubric for evaluating vendor proposals. Four levels (4 = exceeds, 3 = meets, 2 = approaching, 1 = beginning) across these rows: understanding of our needs, approach, timeline, cost clarity, references. """ WHO IT'S FOR: My review team and the vendors themselves. The team scores proposals with it; vendors see how the decision was made. DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - We are replacing our scheduling software. Proposals are due end of month. - A level-4 "understanding of our needs" names our actual workflows, not boilerplate. - Common level-2 mistakes: costs with no breakdown, timelines that skip testing. """ CONSTRAINTS: - Plain language, no jargon. Each cell one or two short sentences. Keep it to one page. Show me the designed prompt first, then the deliverable.
Designing + running a prompt for standards-based report-card comments
You are an expert prompt designer working with a busy teacher. Design the best possible prompt for my goal, show me that prompt so I can save it, then run it and produce the deliverable. MY GOAL: """ Draft report-card comments from rubric scores. Three sentences per student: one strength tied to a specific rubric row, one growth area, one at-home next step. """ WHO IT'S FOR: Families who skim the report. It has to sound specific to their child, not like a template. DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - Rubric rows: reading fluency, math reasoning, collaboration, work habits. - What a strong comment looks like: "Maya's reading fluency moved from level 2 to level 3; she now self-corrects." - What to avoid: canned praise like "a pleasure to have in class." """ CONSTRAINTS: - Warm, plain language. No jargon families would not know. Evidence in every sentence. Show me the designed prompt first, then the deliverable.

You are an expert prompt designer working with a busy public administrator. Design the best possible prompt for my goal, show me that prompt so I can save it, then run it and produce the deliverable. MY GOAL: """ Draft a one-page briefing memo for council on a proposed fee change: the recommendation, three options with tradeoffs, budget impact, and the equity considerations. """ WHO IT'S FOR: Council members who skim before a vote, and residents who may read it later in the packet. DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - Current fee, proposed fee, and the three options staff considered. - Who is affected and how; any hardship-waiver provision. - The one number the finance director cares about: net revenue impact. """ CONSTRAINTS: - Neutral, plain language. No advocacy. One page. Define any acronym on first use. Show me the designed prompt first, then the deliverable.

MY GOAL: """ Draft the approach section of an RFP response for a K-12 renovation: how we phase the work around an occupied building, our safety plan, and how we protect the schedule. """ WHO IT'S FOR: The owner's selection committee. They want proof we have done this before and will not disrupt the school. DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - Scope: two-summer phased renovation, building occupied during the school year. - Our differentiators: in-house MEP crew, a named superintendent, a clean safety record. - What weak responses do: generic "quality and safety" language with no phasing detail. """ CONSTRAINTS: - Concrete, no filler. Name the phasing and the safety measures. Keep it to one page. Show me the designed prompt first, then the deliverable.

MY GOAL: """ Write a short email telling loyal customers our prices are going up 8% next month, why, and what stays the same, without sounding defensive or losing them. """ WHO IT'S FOR: Regulars who know us by name. Straight talk beats corporate spin with them. DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - Reason: our supplier costs rose; we held prices for two years. - What stays: same hours, same people, same quality, loyalty discount unchanged. - Tone we want: honest and warm, like a note from the owner. """ CONSTRAINTS: - Short. No "in order to serve you better" filler. One clear sentence on the change. Show me the designed prompt first, then the deliverable.

""" WHO IT'S FOR: The program officer who championed us internally and needs to show her board we deliver. DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - Numbers: 214 people served, 3 of 4 outcome targets on pace. - One story: a participant who moved from the waitlist to a job placement. - The metric we are behind on and our plan to catch up. """ CONSTRAINTS: - Honest about the gap, not spin. Plain language. One page. Lead with people, not activities. Show me the designed prompt first, then the deliverable.

DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - The client's situation: cash-basis S-corp, strong year, some equipment purchases planned. - Moves to consider: Section 179 timing, retirement contribution, reasonable-comp review. - What a weak note does: lists options with no deadlines and no dollar impact.

DATA YOU CAN USE: """ - The wall, the theme they asked for, and my style. - My stages: concept sketches, client sign-off, painting, seal and reveal. - What loses the job: a one-line price with no process, so it feels risky.

3. What to do with the answer
- Pick one task you do occasionally: a kickoff agenda, a scoring rubric, a training plan, an event run-of-show. Write the goal in one sentence.
- Paste the prompt above into Claude, Gemini, or NotebookLM. Fill in the [BRACKETS] with your goal, audience, data, and constraints.
- Run it. The AI returns two things: the prompt it designed, then the finished draft. Read both.
- Copy the AI-designed prompt into a doc called "My Prompt Library." Label it (e.g. "Vendor rubric, 4-level template" or "Training agenda, 90-minute template"). Next time you reuse the prompt, not the draft.
- Compare the AI's designed prompt to the deliverable it produced. The prompt is the reusable asset; the deliverable is just this case's output.
- If the deliverable is 70% there, ask: "What's the one input I should add to the designed prompt so next time the output is stronger out of the box?" Update the saved prompt and you're done.
Why this works
The AI is often a better prompt designer than you are, especially for tasks you only do a few times a year, when you don't have a mental template to lean on. You bring two things AI can't: the goal and the data. It brings the structure, the persona, the format, and the reference patterns. The prompt it designs becomes a reusable asset in your library, so the second time you do this kind of task, you start from a strong template instead of a blank page.
