I want to write about {{topic}} for {{audience}}. Give me 10 distinct angles — not variations of the same idea, but genuinely different entry points (contrarian take, personal-story lens, how-to, myth-busting, future-looking, etc). One line each.
Outline an article or blog post
Outline a {{length}} article on {{topic}} for {{audience}}. Give me a working title, a hook idea for the intro, 4-6 section headers with the one key point of each, and a closing idea. Structure it to keep a reader scrolling, not like a textbook.
Get unstuck mid-draft
I'm stuck partway through this piece. Here's what I have and where I'm trying to go: {{context}}. Don't rewrite it — instead ask me 3 questions that'll help me figure out the next section, then suggest 2 possible directions.
Draft so far:
Ten headline options
Write 10 headline options for a piece about {{topic}}. Mix curiosity, benefit-driven, number-based, and contrarian styles. Flag the 2-3 strongest and say why, considering the {{platform/audience}}.
Editing & Polish
Edit for clarity without losing my voice
Edit this passage for clarity and flow, but keep my voice — don't make it sound like generic AI prose. Point out anything confusing, cut what's redundant, and tighten wordy sentences. Show the edited version, then a short note on what you changed and why.
Text:
Cut word count without losing meaning
Cut this down to about {{target}} words without losing any real substance. Remove filler, redundancy, and throat-clearing first; only cut actual content if you have to, and tell me if you did.
Text:
Line edit for rhythm and punch
Line-edit this for rhythm and impact: vary sentence length, kill weak verbs and adverbs, strengthen the opening and closing lines. Keep the meaning and my voice intact. Show before/after for the 3 biggest improvements.
Text:
Proofread for errors only
Proofread this for grammar, spelling, and punctuation only — do NOT change my style, word choices, or sentence structure. List each correction so I can see what changed.
Text:
Fix a paragraph that feels off
This paragraph feels off but I can't say why. Diagnose the problem (is it pacing, a buried point, a tone shift, a weak transition?), explain it, and offer one revised version.
Paragraph:
Voice & Style
Analyze and match my writing voice
Here's a sample of my writing. Analyze my voice: sentence length, tone, vocabulary level, quirks, rhythm. Then write {{new thing}} in that same voice, and tell me which features of my style you leaned on.
Sample:
Rewrite in a different tone
Rewrite this in a {{target tone — e.g. warmer / more authoritative / more playful}} tone for {{audience}}, keeping the same meaning and length. Show the rewrite, then note the specific changes that shifted the tone.
Make formal writing sound human
Rewrite this stiff/corporate text so it sounds like a real person talking to another person — contractions, plain words, natural rhythm — without losing professionalism or accuracy.
Text:
Fiction & Storytelling
Develop a character
Help me develop a character for {{genre/story}}: {{what I know so far}}. Give me their core want vs core wound, a contradiction that makes them feel real, how they speak differently from other characters, and 3 small specific details that reveal who they are without stating it.
Fix a scene that's dragging
This scene is dragging. Here it is: {{scene}}. Tell me what's slowing it down (too much setup, no tension, on-the-nose dialogue, no stakes?), and suggest 2 concrete ways to tighten it — without rewriting the whole thing for me.
Brainstorm plot possibilities
I'm at this point in my story: {{situation}}. Give me 6 different things that could happen next — ranging from the obvious to the surprising-but-earned. For each, note what it would cost the character and where it might lead.
Write more natural dialogue
Here's a dialogue exchange that feels stiff. Rewrite it so each character sounds distinct, people talk past each other a little like real conversation, and subtext does some of the work. Keep the plot beats the same.
Dialogue:
Research & Repurpose
Turn an article into other formats
Take this article and repurpose it into: a Twitter/X thread, a LinkedIn post, a short email-newsletter version, and 3 pull-quote graphics ideas. Keep my core point intact in each; adapt the tone to each format.
Article:
Fact-check claims to verify
Read this draft and list every factual claim, statistic, or attribution I should independently verify before publishing — flagged by how risky it'd be if wrong. Don't assume you know the answer; just surface what needs checking.

Tips
Paste a sample of your own writing first. For anything voice-sensitive, the model needs an example of how you actually write — a description of your style isn't enough.
Use it to edit, not to replace. The prompts that ask it to diagnose and suggest keep you in the driver's seat and preserve your voice better than 'rewrite this for me.'
Save your editing and repurposing prompts in PromptDock. The clarity-edit, cut-word-count, and repurpose prompts get used on every piece — insert them with // instead of retyping the instructions each time.
Insert these with two keystrokes instead of copy-paste
Download the pack, import it once into PromptDock, and every prompt above is // away inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and 7 more — with fill-in-the-blank {{variables}} that ask for the specifics as they insert.
Only if you let it write for you. These prompts are built to keep your voice — analyzing your style, editing rather than replacing, and asking you questions instead of taking over. Use it as an editor and brainstorming partner, not a ghostwriter.
Can it really match my writing voice?
Reasonably well if you paste a real sample of your work and ask it to analyze the specifics first. The voice-matching prompt here does exactly that before it writes anything.
Are these free to use?
Yes. Copy any prompt in one click, or download the pack and import it into PromptDock to insert them by typing // in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
