This is the full prompt set I use to stop AI from telling me what I want to hear. Why This Exists AI is trained to be helpful. Helpful often means agreeable. Agreeable often means dangerous. I have watched smart people build detailed, fluent, confident conclusions with AI. And still solve the wrong problem. The output looked right. The reasoning felt solid. The AI confirmed everything. Nobody caught the gap until it was too late. This prompt set exists to create friction before commitment. What Is Included Each prompt is designed for a specific checkpoint in your workflow: 🔹 Pre-Work Grounding Establish what you actually know vs what you assume before AI touches the problem. 🔹 Boundary and Expertise Checks Force the AI to declare the limits of its knowledge and flag where it is guessing. 🔹 Disconfirmation Passes Ask the AI to argue against its own output. Find the weak points before someone else does. 🔹 Consensus and Reality Checks Test whether the conclusion aligns with domain consensus or departs from it. And why. 🔹 Confidence Calibration Make the AI rate its own certainty and explain what would change its answer. 🔹 Final Commit Gates Last chance friction before you act on the output. How To Use This Do not use all of them every time. That defeats the purpose. Pick the checkpoints that match your risk level: - Low stakes → Boundary check + one disconfirmation pass - Medium stakes → Add confidence calibration - High stakes → Full sequence The goal is not perfection. The goal is catching the subtle wrong before it costs you. The Prompts 👇 Everything is below. Copy them. Adapt them. Use them. If you find gaps or improve them, post in the comments. This is a living resource. https://www.notion.so/The-Adversarial-Self-Check-Framework-2edcb245a8e680f781b3d9ad3b205a27?source=copy_link Remember: The most dangerous moment is when AI feels helpful, fluent, and affirming. That is when you slow down.

The Name Is Lying To You "Claude Code" sounds like developer-only territory. It isn't. What Anthropic actually shipped: an agent that automates the boring stuff. Forms. File sorting. Competitive research. The papercuts that eat 3–5 hours from your week. Three things you can do RIGHT NOW (no coding required): 1. Vendor intake forms Stop copy-pasting data into forms. Claude Code fills them while you watch. One row at a time, verified before submit. Time saved: 30 mins per week per person 2. Messy Downloads folder Tell it: "Rename these PDFs by date and vendor." It reads the contents, extracts the info, renames everything correctly. Time saved: 1 hour (one-time) 3. Competitor pricing Visit 10 sites. Extract pricing, features, limits. Standardize into a single CSV. What took you 2 hours takes 10 minutes. Time saved: 1.5 hours per research cycle The ONE pattern that makes this work: The Dry Run. Before Claude touches ANYTHING, tell it: "Show me your plan. Do NOT execute." You review. You approve. THEN it executes. This catches mistakes before they happen. It's the difference between experimenting and actually shipping. Who's doing this already? Three of my clients are running Claude Code on vendor intake, expense categorization, and market research. Combined: 12–15 hours reclaimed per week across three teams. Not theoretical. Actually happening. Want to try it? Reply in this thread with ONE task you do repeatedly that makes you think "I wish this was automated." I'll walk you through: - How to set it up (5 minutes) - The exact prompt to use - How to verify it worked Pick something low-stakes. You're learning the mental model, not betting the business. Pick something that happens weekly. That's where the leverage compounds. This week's challenge: Identify one "papercut" task you do repeatedly. Comment below. We'll automate it together. The goal isn't perfection. It's proof that delegation actually works. Then you scale it. 💪

I see the same debate happen every day: "Is Claude better than ChatGPT? Is Gemini catching up?" Here is the truth: There is no universal "best" model. There is only the right model for your specific Optimization Target. If you are trying to use ChatGPT for a task that requires "creative messiness," you are going to struggle. If you use Claude for "blue sky" brainstorming, you’ll hit a wall of conservatism. I’ve put together a Universal LLM Selection Framework (attached below 📄) to help you stop guessing and start shipping. The Core Concept: The 3 Stances According to the framework, each model has a distinct "personality" or optimization stance: 1. Gemini Interprets 🎨 · Ask it: "What's the story here? · Use for: Massive messy data, finding unexpected angles, and narrative polish. 2. Claude Reconstructs 🛠️ · Ask it: "How do I stay accurate? · Use for: Iterative refinement, operational consistency, and "client-proof" implementation. 3. ChatGPT Abstracts 📐 · Ask it: "What structure should this follow? · Use for: Deep logical reasoning, system architecture, and clean, well-defined problems. How to use this: The attached guide breaks down 8 specific task categories—from Education & Training to Technical Systems—and tells you exactly which model to use (and which trade-offs to accept). It also covers Multi-Model Workflows. For complex work, you often need to sequence them. - Example: Use Gemini to find the creative angle → ChatGPT to build the logical architecture → Claude to write the reliable implementation . 🤖 The Shortcut: Custom GPT I know memorizing a matrix can be a pain, so I built a Custom GPT trained on this exact framework. You simply tell it what task you are working on, and it will analyze your input context (clean vs. messy) and tell you exactly which model (or sequence) to use. 👉 Click here to use the LLM Selection Guide GPT: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69296c5e53488191aa85a72d0a3aa1eb-llm-model-selection-guide

Gemini 3 Just Dropped and Everyone's Saying It's the Best LLM. But Is It Really Better Than ChatGPT 5.1? 🤔 Short answer: That's the wrong question. Most conversations about LLMs focus on which model is "better." Almost nobody focuses on what you're actually giving it to work with. Here's the truth: Gemini 3 and ChatGPT 5.1 aren't in competition. They solve different problems because they process different inputs. 🔄 Gemini 3 is a chaos tamer. 🌪️ Feed it logs, PDFs, screenshots, transcripts, video—the messy real world. It extracts signal and converts it into structure: JSON, tables, timelines, insights. It's built for context entropy. ChatGPT 5.1 is a reasoning engine. 🧠 Feed it clean, pre-structured data. It turns that into finished work: strategies, memos, PRDs, board briefs. It's built for task entropy. Every model has a limited analysis budget. You can't max out both complexity dimensions at once. So pick one entropy to reduce before you hand over the job. 📊 The relay race approach: 1. Gemini 3 first: Tame the chaos. Get structured output. ✋ 2. ChatGPT 5.1 second: Do the hard thinking. Deliver the final product. ✌️ Real examples: Incident analysis (Gemini extracts timeline → ChatGPT writes RCA). Product discovery (Gemini pulls problems → ChatGPT drafts PRD). Board prep (Gemini surfaces changes → ChatGPT builds the narrative). Stop asking one model to do both jobs. Match the input to the model. You'll burn fewer tokens and get stronger work. 🚀 Use this prompt when you need to configure your prompt for gemini 3 or gpt 5.1.
