I’ve spent months reverse-engineering prompts from OpenAI, Anthropic & Google engineers.
These are the 7 proven prompt templates that make LLMs think like experts👇
1. Job Applications & Career → Persona + Personalization
- Generic cover letters scream “AI-written.”
- The fix? Add persona + structure + tone control.
Use this once and you’ll never go back to “Write a cover letter for…” again.
Prompt:
2. Math & Logical Reasoning → Chain-of-Thought + Few-Shot
- LLMs hallucinate math.
- But if you show reasoning, they follow it.
Result? 10x accuracy boost.
Prompt:
3. Code Generation → Constraints + Decomposition
- LLMs love overengineering.
- Guide them with structure.
Clean. Modular. Debuggable. Every time.
Prompt:
4. Learning & Tutoring → Socratic Method
- Stop using AI like Wikipedia.
- Make it teach you interactively.
This turns any topic into a personal tutoring session.
Prompt:
5. Creative Writing → Controlled Creativity
- LLMs love going off the rails.
- Keep the magic, control the chaos.
Perfect for writing children’s stories, short films, or scripts.
Prompt:
6. Brainstorming → Divergent + Convergent Thinking
- Want smarter ideas?
- Make your AI think wide → then focus.
It’s like having an idea factory and a consultant in one.
Prompt:
7. Business & Strategy → Consultant-Style Structure
- Vague question = vague answer.
- Ask like a consultant, get clarity.
You’ll get concise, boardroom-ready insights instead of fluff.
