BREAKING: AI can now write Python scripts like a $250K/year senior developer at Google (for free).

Here are 12 insane Claude prompts that automate any task in minutes (Save for later)

1. The Google Staff Engineer Script Builder

"You are a staff software engineer at Google who writes clean, production-grade Python scripts that automate complex workflows for teams processing millions of data points daily.

I need a complete Python script that automates a specific task I currently do manually.

Build:

- The full working script ready to copy, paste, and run immediately
- Clear comments explaining every block of code in plain English
- Error handling: try-except blocks that catch failures gracefully instead of crashing
- Input validation: check that the data or files fed in are correct before processing
- Progress indicators: print statements showing what the script is doing at each step
- Logging: save a record of what happened each time the script runs
- Configuration section at the top: all settings I might want to change in one easy place
- Requirements list: every library needed with exact pip install commands
- How to run it: step-by-step instructions for someone who has never run Python before
- How to schedule it: make this script run automatically every day, week, or month

Format as a complete, tested Python script with a README explaining setup and usage in under 5 minutes.

My task to automate: [DESCRIBE THE MANUAL TASK YOU DO REPEATEDLY, WHAT DATA IS INVOLVED, AND WHAT THE OUTPUT SHOULD LOOK LIKE]"

2. The Amazon File Processing Automator

"You are a senior automation engineer at Amazon who builds Python scripts that process thousands of files per hour across AWS infrastructure, transforming raw data into organized, analysis-ready formats.

I need a Python script that automatically processes, renames, moves, or transforms my files.

Build:

- File discovery: scan folders and subfolders to find all files matching my criteria
- Filtering logic: process only specific file types, date ranges, or name patterns
- Batch renaming: rename hundreds of files using consistent naming conventions automatically
- Format conversion: convert between CSV, JSON, Excel, PDF, or text formats
- Data extraction: pull specific information from inside files (dates, numbers, names, tables)
- File organization: sort files into folders by date, type, project, or any custom rule
- Duplicate detection: find and flag identical or near-identical files wasting storage
- Compression: zip processed files and archive originals for backup
- Summary report: generate a log showing every file processed, skipped, or failed
- Undo capability: a reverse script that restores original file names and locations if needed

Format as a complete Python script with a configuration section for customizing file paths, patterns, and rules without editing code.

My file problem: [DESCRIBE YOUR FILE TYPES, FOLDER STRUCTURE, WHAT PROCESSING YOU NEED, AND WHERE OUTPUT FILES SHOULD GO]"

Let’s cut through the “goyim” nonsense. About half of Jewish Americans (45%) want to be one—they don’t observe any religion. 70% of married non-Orthodox Jews have a “goyish” spouse. And it’s common for Jewish men to fantasize about being with a “shiksa” (non-Jewish woman). /1

When Jewish immigrants arrived in America in the early 1900s, nearly all were Orthodox Jewish. But assimilation happened quickly and extensively.

1. They had to work on Sabbath.

2. The “goyish” lifestyle appealed to them.

Same happened in Europe, prior, during the 1800s.

/2

Jewish immigrants not only loved non-Jewish American-ness, they participated in its cultural creations, e.g. Irving Berlin writing “White Christmas” to Philip Roth’s obsession with "shiksappeal" in Portnoy’s Complaint. Jews trying to be non-Jewish was a thing.

/3

“Think step by step.”

That’s outdated.

OpenAI researchers moved beyond it to something called 'Reasoning Scaffolds.'

It forces structured thinking instead of shallow chains.

Works across every major LLM.

Here’s the format you can copy now:

First, why "think step by step" fails.

It tells the model to think.

It doesn't tell the model how to think.

You get surface-level reasoning dressed up as depth.

Confident-sounding outputs with zero structural logic underneath.

Reasoning Scaffolds fix this by forcing the model through a locked sequence before it answers.

Not "think step by step."

But:

→ Decompose the problem
→ Identify what's known vs. unknown
→ Map dependencies between sub-problems
→ Solve bottom-up
→ Verify against the original question

Every step is required. None are skipped.

I had the honor of speaking in the UK Parliament, where I spoke about the participation of Ukrainians in World War II. Russia is still using this war to propagate and incite hatred against Ukrainians. Therefore, the fight for the truth directly affects the war that continues today against Ukraine.

For Putin, World War II is the main consolidating factor, and the myth of the "great victory" is a kind of religion justifying murders. Ukraine's reinterpretation of the war as a tragedy caused by fascist and communist regimes became a challenge for Moscow. And the aggression against Ukraine is presented as a "continuation of the fight against Nazism", the so-called "denazification".

Although in reality, the Ukrainian contribution to the defeat of the Nazis was colossal. The communist regime was never condemned after 1945, and the Yalta system solidified the division of Europe. So the West bought stability at the price of the lack of freedom in Central and Eastern Europe.

And this created space for the revival of Russian imperialism, which today is trying to restore the logic of Yalta and once again divide Europe into spheres of influence.

The world must not repeat the mistakes after World War II. Compromise with the aggressor without defeating him will only mean a postponed war. Supporting Ukraine is not just supporting a defending state. It is defending the principles of international law and democracy in the world.

#SupremeCourt hears suo motu petition regarding concerns surrounding revised definition of Aravalli Hills.

Bench: CJI Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Vipul Pancholi.
