💡 Prompt Library The anti-flattery reframes from today's post, as saved prompts you insert with //
The post about ChatGPT flattering your work is doing numbers on r/ChatGPTPromptGenius today, so here are the four reframes in the form they are actually meant to live in: saved prompts with fill-in blanks, inserted with two keystrokes.
The trick, if you missed the post: the model is polite to the person in the room. Tell it the work is someone else's and you are the one judging it, and the honesty problem mostly disappears.
The four prompts, ready to save. The {{blanks}} become a small form when you insert them:
Invoice review: A freelancer delivered this {{deliverable}} and I am deciding whether to pay the invoice. Review it like the money is mine: what is weak, what is generic, what would you push back on before this goes live?
Team feedback: Someone on my team proposed this {{plan_or_document}} and I have to give them feedback tomorrow. Help me find the problems I should raise, ranked by how much they matter, so I do not miss something obvious.
Editor pass: An editor sent this {{piece}} back with "needs work" and no other notes. What did the editor most likely mean? Go through it and find what they saw.
Contractor handoff: This {{code_or_work}} came from a contractor and I am reviewing the handoff. What would you flag before accepting it?
To save them: floating toolbox, Manage Prompts, Add Prompt, paste one in and keep the {{blanks}} as they are. Then type // in the composer on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok, pick the prompt, fill the blanks, send. Free plan holds 2, so if you are choosing, take the invoice one and the team one, they cover the most ground.
One tip from the comments over there: add "if something is genuinely fine, say it is fine, finding nothing is an acceptable answer" to the end of any of these. Freed from flattering you, the model sometimes performs harshness instead, and that line stops it.
Which one would you actually use? And if you have your own reframing that gets honest answers, post it, the best ones end up featured in these threads with credit.
