The wrap prompt I use to improve my prompts
Most people fix prompts by iterating. Write one, get mediocre output, add a sentence, try again. That loop is slow and you don't learn much from it — you just keep bolting on instructions until something works. This is a meta-prompt. Paste this one first, then paste your rough prompt underneath, and it does three things in one pass: 1. Diagnoses what's actually wrong — goal alignment, missing context, vague or conflicting instructions, what a technically-correct-but-wrong output would look like 2. Rewrites with full authority and executes the improved version as the response 3. Produces a changelog artifact showing the revised prompt, what each change fixes, and flags for problems a rewrite alone can't solve The changelog is the point. You don't just get better output — you see the diagnosis, which means you write better prompts next time without needing the wrapper. Paste this, then drop your prompt under the dashes: 👇🏻 𝘐𝘔𝘗𝘙𝘖𝘝𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘕 𝘌𝘟𝘌𝘊𝘜𝘛𝘌 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘸. 𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘦: 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭?

The changelog is the safety net — read it, push back on anything you disagree with, and the next run gets tighter. Works best on prompts that feel off, but you can't say why. If you know exactly what's wrong, just fix it.
