How to Use

From vault to client-ready output.

The Prompt Vault is not a collection of prompts to copy blindly. It's a structured workflow library. Here's how to use it correctly.

The 5-step workflow

1

Find the right workflow

Open the Vault search page. Type the task you want to accomplish — not the category, the task. The search checks titles, descriptions, best-for fields, and the full prompt text.

Use the Filters button to narrow by section, category, model, brevity, or difficulty. If you're not sure which model to use, check the Model Guide first.

2

Read the metadata before copying

Every workflow has metadata that tells you exactly how to run it. Don't skip this.

3

Replace the variables before running

Every prompt contains bracketed variables: [Your Business Name], [Target Audience], [Competitor URL]. Replace every variable before you paste the prompt.

The most common mistake: running the prompt with placeholder text still in it. The model will produce generic output or complete the placeholder as-is. Replace every bracket before you run.
4

Attach the right inputs

Most workflows have a "Required Inputs" field. If the workflow says to attach a URL, paste it. If it requires your product specs, include them in the message. If it asks for competitor examples, provide 2–3.

Vague input = vague output. The model only knows what you give it. The required inputs field tells you exactly what to gather before running.

5

Run the QA follow-up before delivering

Every workflow includes a follow-up prompt. After you get the first output, run the follow-up. It's designed to catch generic language, missed requirements, and incomplete sections before the output goes to a client.

Example follow-up: "Review the output you just produced. Flag anything that sounds generic, uses AI clichés, or could apply to any business instead of mine specifically. Then rewrite those sections."

What each section of the vault contains

LLM Prompts (901 workflows)

The core library. Marketing, SEO, sales, copywriting, strategy, content, data, productivity, and creative. These run in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Automation Templates (20 templates)

Pre-built Make.com / Zapier / n8n workflows. Use these to automate recurring AI tasks instead of running them manually.

Custom GPTs (15 GPTs)

Custom GPT system prompts you can deploy in ChatGPT for team use. Each is scoped to a specific role or function.

Image & Video Prompts (151 prompts)

Creative seed prompts for Midjourney, DALL-E, Gemini image models, Higgsfield, and other generative media tools.

Prompting Fundamentals (9 guides)

The foundational concepts behind good prompt construction — for onboarding team members or improving your own baseline.
