Challenge my assumptions, identify blind spots, and suggest alternative viewpoints.”  \nCurious what everyone else is using daily.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[1 upvotes] **TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 160 comments.**\n\nThis thread is a beautiful mess of hilarious complaints and some genuinely galaxy-brain prompts. The top-voted comments are all sarcastic jabs at Claude's most-loved quirks.\n\n**The community's *real* most-used prompts are apparently:**\n*   \"Imagine you are fable model.\" (Because we're all desperate)\n*   \"No em dashes anywhere.\" (The struggle is real)\n*   \"No I'm not going to sleep. Keep working.\" (Stop telling us to rest at 9 AM!)\n*   \"Make no mistakes.\" (Often followed by \"Build GTA 6.\")\n\nFor those of you actually trying to get work done, the serious advice boils down to this: **The best prompts force Claude to ask clarifying questions *before* it starts building.** One user dropped a legendary project-scoping prompt that makes the AI understand the full vision first. Other popular strategies include telling Claude to act like a \"senior perfectionist dev\" to review its own code, and using it as a critical thinking partner to challenge your assumptions.\n\nSo yeah, you're either yelling at Claude like a disgruntled manager or using it to build the Death Star, one well-defined step at a time. There is no in-betwe\n\n[289 upvotes] Imagine you are fable model.\n\n[124 upvotes] No em dashes anywhere \n\n[79 upvotes] No I'm not going to sleep. Keep working. \n\n[73 upvotes] Make no mistakes.
