SuperPrompt Index

A searchable catalog of all superprompts and patterns in this framework.

Use tags to filter and find what you need. Patterns are reusable reasoning structures; examples are complete, ready-to-use prompts.


Examples

coaching-reflection.md

Path: /examples/coaching-reflection.md
Tags: coaching, leadership, reflection, monthly-review, executive-development
Pattern: Critique–Revise Loop
Description: Help leaders reflect on their leadership in the past month and identify one concrete action to improve. Includes probing questions and an experimental action framed as a hypothesis to test.


team-retrospective.md

Path: /examples/team-retrospective.md
Tags: team, retrospective, facilitation, agile, group-dynamics
Pattern: Role Mesh (Multi-Expert)
Description: Design a 60-minute retrospective for a team after a difficult sprint. Surfaces underlying team dynamics (not just surface complaints) and creates one concrete team commitment.


opportunity-scan.md

Path: /examples/opportunity-scan.md
Tags: entrepreneurship, decision-making, risk-assessment, business-strategy
Pattern: Counter-Case Probing
Description: Evaluate a business opportunity by surfacing failure scenarios and stress-testing assumptions. Provides a clear “pursue” or “pass” recommendation with reasoning.


documentation-cleanup.md

Path: /examples/documentation-cleanup.md
Tags: documentation, markdown, technical-writing, code-quality
Pattern: Rubric-First Grading (implicit)
Description: Clean up markdown documentation files to make them readable, consistent, and navigable. Fixes formatting, structure, tone, and broken links.


research-synthesis.md

Path: /examples/research-synthesis.md
Tags: research, synthesis, academic, knowledge-management, citations
Pattern: Source-Anchored Synthesis
Description: Synthesize 5–10 sources on a research topic into a structured references.md file with key insights and proper citations. Every claim is traceable to a source.


Patterns

Decomposition

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-1-decomposition
Tags: problem-solving, planning, complexity, structured-thinking
When to use: Complex problems that need breaking down into manageable steps.
Structure: Break into 3-5 sub-problems → solve separately → synthesize → flag dependencies.


Role Mesh (Multi-Expert)

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-2-role-mesh-multi-expert
Tags: multi-perspective, evaluation, critique, trade-offs
When to use: You need perspectives from multiple disciplines or roles.
Structure: Analyze from 3 perspectives → identify priorities and critiques → synthesize → flag tensions.


Critique–Revise Loop

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-3-critiquerevise-loop
Tags: iteration, refinement, quality, self-correction
When to use: You want iterative refinement built into a single prompt.
Structure: Produce draft → critique against criteria → revise → present both versions.


Counter-Case Probing

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-4-counter-case-probing
Tags: stress-testing, risk-analysis, edge-cases, assumptions
When to use: You want to stress-test an idea by finding failure modes.
Structure: Present claim → identify 3 failure scenarios → explain why each fails → revise claim.


Data-to-Narrative Mapping

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-5-data-to-narrative-mapping
Tags: data-analysis, storytelling, insights, communication
When to use: You have raw data and need a clear story.
Structure: Identify patterns → frame as “so what?” → arrange into narrative → close with implications.


Safety-First Guardrails

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-6-safety-first-guardrails
Tags: ethics, safety, refusal-rules, responsible-ai
When to use: Task involves sensitive topics, ethical trade-offs, or potential harm.
Structure: Identify concerns → explain clearly → refuse harmful outputs → prioritize transparency.


Source-Anchored Synthesis

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-7-source-anchored-synthesis
Tags: research, citations, verification, academic-integrity
When to use: Summarizing research or documents where claims must be verifiable.
Structure: Extract claims → cite sources → synthesize → highlight agreements/disagreements.


Style Transfer

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-8-style-transfer
Tags: writing, translation, tone, audience-adaptation
When to use: Translate content from one style to another (formal to casual, technical to plain).
Structure: Identify source/target styles → map differences → rewrite → self-check native feel.


Perspective Shift

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-9-perspective-shift
Tags: reframing, cognitive-flexibility, innovation, hidden-assumptions
When to use: Reframe a problem by changing the point of view.
Structure: Describe from default perspective → shift to alternative → identify what changes → return insights.


Rubric-First Grading

Path: /docs/patterns.md#pattern-10-rubric-first-grading
Tags: evaluation, assessment, feedback, criteria
When to use: Evaluate something (essay, design, strategy) against clear criteria.
Structure: Define rubric → operationalize criteria → grade with evidence → provide actionable feedback.
