Reusable Prompt Template Pack

Use a template as a starting contract

Replace every bracketed field and remove fields that do not apply. Supply only data you are authorized to use, remove secrets and unnecessary personal data, and label untrusted material. Keep the acceptance check even when the task feels simple.

Templates do not grant tool permissions, validate claims, or replace professional review. Raise the verification level with the consequence of error.

Copy the closest template

Keep the source block separate from instructions. For research, require claim-level citations and an explicit unknown state. For transformations, require preservation checks.

SUMMARIZE
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Source: [AUTHORIZED TEXT — REMOVE SECRETS]
Preserve: [FACTS, TERMS, WARNINGS]
Limit: [LENGTH]
Verify: List any claim not supported by the source.

TRANSFORM
Change: [SOURCE FORMAT] into [TARGET FORMAT]
Source: [AUTHORIZED CONTENT]
Must preserve: [MEANING, IDS, NUMBERS]
Must not add: [UNSUPPORTED CLAIMS]
Verify: Compare every required field with the source.

COMPARE
Decision: [DECISION]
Options: [OPTIONS]
Criteria and weights: [CRITERIA]
Evidence: [CURRENT SOURCES]
Unknowns: Mark unknown; do not guess.
Verify: Cite each material score and run one sensitivity check.

RESEARCH
Question: [BOUNDED QUESTION]
As of: [YYYY-MM-DD]
Preferred sources: [PRIMARY SOURCES]
Output: Claims, evidence, disagreement, unknowns, conclusion.
Verify: Every material claim needs a source that directly supports it.

REVIEW
Artifact: [AUTHORIZED ARTIFACT]
Requirements: [ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA]
Focus: [CORRECTNESS, SAFETY, ACCESSIBILITY, OPERATIONS]
Output: Findings ordered by severity with exact evidence.
Verify: Say no findings only after checking every requirement.

Expected result and verification

The expected result follows the requested structure, preserves the source where required, distinguishes evidence from inference, exposes unknowns, and does not invent permission or facts.

Run the template once with a representative case and once with a difficult edge case. Check every preserved value, open cited sources, compare decision weights, or reproduce review findings as appropriate. Save a versioned template only after both cases pass.
