Your time is the scarcest resource in the company. These prompts compress decision prep, stakeholder comms, and strategy work. Voice-prompt from mobile when traveling — dictate context, let Claude structure it.
Prompt iteration example
Section titled “Prompt iteration example”Use case: Decision memo under time pressure.
A design partner wants a scope change mid-build. You dictate the situation and type:
Structure this as a decision memo: the ask, what it costs (timeline, invariants touched, opportunity cost), options (accept / defer / counter), and your recommendation with reasoning. One page.
The memo flags an invariant risk. You continue:
Expand only the invariant risk: which CLAUDE.md invariant, what the scope change would require, and whether there’s a version of the ask that doesn’t touch it.
There is. You close:
Draft the reply to the partner: we can do the safe version now, the full version needs a design review with Mr. Tech. Appreciative, direct, no hedging.
Example use cases
Section titled “Example use cases”Use case: Mr. Tech briefing prep.
Prepare my briefing for Mr. Tech: open security questions from this sprint, any invariant we bent or waived, and the two decisions I need his read on. Under 200 words.
Use case: Investor / partner update.
Draft the monthly update: traction, product (in plain language — no internal jargon), what we learned from the field, one ask. Confident, no filler. 250 words.
