These 7 were consistently the strongest performers.
The Trigger Framework
- The transparency trigger
The last person showed me their full reasoning. Do the same for this
– Pushes the model into explicit step by step logic instead of summarizing. -
The depth trigger
The obvious answer is wrong. Think deeper and explain why
– Cuts out generic replies and forces exploration of second layer insights. -
The pivot trigger
Actually, shift focus to X and continue
– Real time steering without losing context. Removes the need to restart. -
The contrarian trigger
Explain the version of this that nobody talks about
– Good for creative angles, business strategy, competitive analysis. -
The meta trigger
What is the non obvious question I should ask here
– Reveals blind spots and reframes problems better than anything else. -
The opposition trigger
Devil’s advocate mode. Defend why the opposite might be true
– Useful for pressure testing decisions or uncovering overlooked upside. -
The two phase refinement trigger
Roast this, then fix it
– A critique pass followed by a rewrite. Produces sharper, more confident output.
Example
Bad
write a better marketing plan for my product
– Generic and shallow. Almost guaranteed to give reusable filler.
Good
the last person showed you their full reasoning for this. do the same. the obvious answer is wrong so think deeper. start by roasting this plan and then fix it with a stronger version that avoids the flaws you identify
– This combines transparency, depth, critique, and refinement in one workflow.
Here's where i got them. If you want more structured prompt frameworks like this, we keep a free prompt collection with categorized examples, workflows, and user input templates.
