# CTRL-A Prompt Pack · Starters

Free starter prompts from Range of View Studios. Swap the {braces} for your
own details. These are written to be precise on purpose: a role, your context,
one clear task, real constraints, and a format for the answer. That structure
is the whole skill.

## The thinking partner
Use it at the start, before anything gets built.

```
act as a sharp creative director. i have a rough idea: {your idea}.
do not build anything yet. ask me the three questions that most change
the direction, then give me three distinct ways to take it, each one
sentence. no hedging, have an opinion.
```

## Ruthless first draft
Use it to get to a working version fast.

```
you are a senior {role, e.g. web developer}. give me the simplest version
of {the thing} that actually works, end to end, in one file i can run.
pick sensible defaults for anything i did not specify and list them in
three lines at the end. code first, no preamble.
```

## The reviewer
Use it on output before you ship it.

```
review the work above as a skeptical senior {role}. list only the real
problems, ranked by how badly they bite, each with a one line fix.
ignore style and nitpicks. if something would break in front of a user,
say so first.
```

## Explain it to me
Use it to understand what you were handed.

```
explain what this does, group by group, to someone who is creative but
not a developer. no jargon without a plain words gloss. end with the one
part i should be most careful changing.
```
