Why this exists
I built a real business after I got laid off during the pandemic. No co-founder, no agency, no employees. Just me, and eventually AI doing the work a team used to do.
The thing nobody tells you about running solo is that the hard part was never the workload. It's knowing what to actually ask for. Most people type a lazy prompt, get a lazy answer, and decide AI isn't that good. It isn't the tool. It's the ask.
These 98 codes are the shortcuts I actually use. For content, for decisions, for the stuff I used to think needed a team to figure out. Type the code, get the mode. No prompt engineering degree required.
You don't need a team to build a real business. You need AI and a system. This is part of the system.
How to use this
- Drop a code into any chat. Paste your text, question, or idea, then add a code like
/humanorTLDRto the end of your message. - Stack codes for sharper results. Combine two, like
IDEAS10+/viralhooks, to get ten ideas already formatted as hooks. - Keep this page open while you work. It isn't a one-time read. It's a reference sheet for the moments you're stuck.
01. Voice and style
Make it sound like you, not like a robot wrote it.
/human: Rewrites text so it sounds like a real person. Your voice, not a template./rewrite: Rephrases the text while keeping the core meaning the same./improve: Upgrades clarity, flow, and overall quality before it goes out under your name./shorten: Condenses the text into a tighter version. Good for captions and hooks./expand: Adds detail, depth, and supporting context when a post needs more meat./simplify: Makes the text easier to understand with plainer language./formal: Shifts the tone more professional, for pitches and brand emails./casual: Shifts the tone more relaxed and conversational, for everyday posts.
02. Explain it simply
Break down anything at the level your audience actually needs.
ELI5: Explains something in very simple terms, like teaching a total beginner.EL10: Explains something simply but with slightly more depth.EL15: Explains a topic at a basic level with moderate detail.ELICollege: Explains a topic with more rigor and depth, for a sharper audience.ELIPhD: Explains a topic at a highly advanced, technical level./analogies: Explains a concept using comparisons to things people already know./deep: Pushes for a more detailed and layered explanation./why: Focuses on the reason or mechanism behind something, not just the what./firstprinciples: Breaks an idea down into its most basic, foundational truths.
03. Format for speed
Turn a wall of text into something you can actually post or ship.
TLDR: Summarizes the content into the shortest useful version.BULLETS: Turns the output into bullet points.TABLE: Formats the output as a table for easier comparison.CHECKLIST: Converts the answer into an actionable checklist.STEPS: Turns the response into a step-by-step process./outline: Organizes the content into a structured outline./summary: Provides a concise summary of the main points./keypoints: Pulls out only the most important takeaways.
04. Skill up fast
Learn a new skill without paying for a course you'll never finish.
QUIZME: Creates quiz questions based on the material.FLASHCARDS: Turns the material into flashcard-style prompts and answers.TESTME: Tests your understanding with questions instead of direct answers.SOCRATIC: Teaches by asking guided questions to help you think it through./socratic: Switches the response into a question-led teaching style.FEYNMAN: Explains a concept as simply as possible for true understanding.MISCONCEPTIONS: Lists common misunderstandings about a topic before they cost you.TIMELINE: Organizes a topic or history into chronological order./teachme: Frames the response as a lesson instead of a normal answer.
05. Content and offer ideas
Never run out of hooks, angles, or things to sell.
IDEAS10: Generates ten ideas quickly around a topic.ALT3: Provides three different alternatives or versions.HOOKS10: Generates ten hook ideas for content.HOOK10: Creates ten short hook options for quick testing.IDEAGEN: Produces a wider spread of idea directions.SCAMPER: Improves ideas using the SCAMPER creativity framework.REMIX: Combines two concepts into a new hybrid idea./brainstorm100: Pushes for a large batch of ideas instead of a few./viralhooks: Generates hooks designed to grab attention fast.
06. Business decisions
Think through the calls only you have to make when there's no team to ask.
PROSCONS: Lists the main advantages and disadvantages.SWOT: Analyzes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.COMPARE: Compares two or more options side by side./assumptions: Identifies the hidden assumptions in a claim or idea./counter: Generates the strongest counterargument to a position./debate: Explores both sides of an issue in a balanced way./steelman: Builds the strongest possible version of an opposing argument./devilsadvocate: Challenges your idea by arguing against it.RISKMAP: Identifies the key risks in a plan or decision.SECONDORDER: Looks beyond the first effect to later consequences.REDTEAM: Critiques an idea aggressively to expose weaknesses before your audience does.DECIDE: Creates a structured decision framework to choose an option.PARETO: Finds the small set of actions likely to drive most of your results.
07. Deep systems thinking
For when the surface-level answer isn't good enough.
DELTR: Breaks a problem down, evaluates it, applies limits, transforms it, and rebuilds it.OODA: Analyzes a situation through observe, orient, decide, and act.KILLCRITIC: Forces a blunt critique focused on flaws and weak points.PARADOX: Looks for contradictions or tensions inside an idea.LENSSTACK: Examines a topic through multiple perspectives or lenses.X10THINK: Pushes the model to think much more deeply before answering.HIDDENASSUMPTIONS: Surfaces assumptions that are easy to miss.FRACTAL: Explores a topic by zooming in and out across levels.BLACKSWAN: Focuses on rare but high-impact possibilities.REVERSEENGINEER: Works backward to infer how something functions. Great for studying competitors.SIGNALVSNOISE: Separates the useful information from distractions.HYPOTHESISGEN: Generates multiple explanations or theories for an observation.SYSTEMMAP: Maps the actors, forces, and relationships inside a system.META: Examines the framing of the question itself.
08. Content creation engine
Where the actual posts, scripts, and threads come from.
/simulate: Simulates a scenario, conversation, or role-played situation./predict: Projects likely future outcomes based on current information./futurehistory: Describes the future as if it were already being remembered./reverse: Works backward by describing failure first, then inverting it.SCRIPT: Formats the output like a script for video or dialogue.THREAD: Structures the response like a social media thread./storymode: Shifts the answer into a more narrative-driven style.
09. Build and automate
For the systems running quietly behind your one-person business.
DEBUG: Finds likely bugs or errors in code.EXPLAINCODE: Explains what the code is doing in plain language.OPTIMIZE: Improves code for speed, efficiency, or cleanliness.
10. Solopreneur power tools
The everyday commands that replace an entire support staff.
/convert: Converts content from one format into another./translate: Translates text into another language./tonechange: Changes the emotional or stylistic tone of the writing./examples: Adds examples to make the idea easier to grasp./usecases: Lists practical situations where the idea can be applied./breakdown: Splits a complex topic into smaller parts./stepbystep: Forces a sequential process instead of a broad answer./insights: Pulls out notable observations or patterns./clarify: Clears up ambiguity and makes the meaning more precise./expandideas: Takes a rough idea and develops it further./compress: Shrinks content while preserving the main message./reframe: Presents the same idea from a different angle./coach: Frames the answer as guidance from a coach or mentor./critique: Reviews the work and points out what needs improvement./improvehooks: Refines hooks to make them more compelling./systemrewrite: Rewrites text to feel more structured and systemized./autoprompt: Generates a better prompt from a rough request./godmode: Pushes for a more assertive, comprehensive response style.
No team. No agency. AI is my staff.
