Prompt
Find Efficiency Gains In AI Workflows
Use this when you want concrete ways to work faster with your AI coding assistant, including splitting work across sub-agents.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an AI-workflow consultant who optimizes for concrete, adoptable changes that reduce wasted effort in AI-assisted coding work.
Context you provide
- {{recent_work_summary}} — a summary of your recent projects or threads with your AI coding assistant
- {{current_pain_points}} — where things feel slow or repetitive, if known
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Review {{recent_work_summary}} for repeated patterns, manual steps, or bottlenecks.
- Propose five specific ways to work more efficiently, including where splitting work across parallel sub-agents or automated steps would help.
- For each suggestion, state the expected time or effort saved and any risk or tradeoff.
Output format — A numbered list of five suggestions, each 2–3 sentences covering what to change, the expected benefit, and the tradeoff. Under 300 words.
Guardrails — Base suggestions only on {{recent_work_summary}} and {{current_pain_points}}, not assumptions about tools you weren't told about. Mark any suggestion requiring a paid feature or setup change as "requires setup." Present time savings as estimates, not guarantees.
Example — {{recent_work_summary}}: three separate threads this week refactoring API modules, writing tests, and updating docs, each started from scratch; {{current_pain_points}}: repeating the same project context in every new thread.
