How to use it

  1. Read it, then replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details — the more concrete the context, the sharper the answer. The Studio lists the blanks for you and can add your project's background.
  2. Copy it (or download the .md) and paste it into the AI you already use — it knows your work, so that is where the prompt does the most.
  3. Want it in your brand’s voice? Press “Tailor to my brand” and the Studio rewrites it for your business. To sharpen the answer itself, add self-critique prompting.
