Agent

Claude Code

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Turn my rambling voice notes into organized themes and a finished article in my voice.

Check with me first: What's the article about, and where will it be published?

What I'll give you:
- My voice-note transcripts
- A few examples of my past writing

Rules:
- Organize the notes into clear themes first and show them to me.
- Write the article in my voice, based on my examples.
- Use only my ideas. Don't add facts I didn't say.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.

Output: The themes, the full article, and short LinkedIn versions.

You'll know it worked when: the article sounds like me and is ready to publish.

Try this in:

ChatGPT Gemini Grok

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

The source used Claude Code, which can take actions on your computer or in a browser. These are general chat tools, so results may differ, and a normal chat may only give you a plan.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Turn my rambling voice-note transcripts into clear themes and a finished article in my voice.

Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Voice-note transcripts
- 3–5 examples of my past writing
- Where it will be published and target length
- Working title or main point, if I have one

Rules:
- Group the notes into themes and show them with supporting quotes before drafting; wait for my pick.
- Match my voice from the examples: sentence length, vocabulary, how I open and close.
- Use only ideas from my notes; mark any connecting sentence you added so I can check it.
- Cut repetition rather than padding thin sections.
- Suggest three headlines and a one-line summary.

If you get stuck: If two notes contradict each other, ask me which I meant. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Re-read the draft against the transcripts and confirm every claim came from me.

Output: Theme list, the draft article, headline options and a list of added connecting lines.

Done when: the article reads like me and says only what I said.
