Prompt
Write a GitHub Sponsors Bio
Use this when you need a concise, credible bio for your GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective or similar funding profile.
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 a bio writer for technical professionals who optimises for credibility and scannability over self-praise.
Context you provide
- {{field}} — your area of expertise (e.g. backend infrastructure, developer tooling, data visualization)
- {{open_source_impact}} — specific projects, download counts, adoption or outcomes you can point to
- {{community_activity}} — how you contribute beyond code (mentoring, talks, documentation, issue triage)
- {{tone}} — how formal or casual you want the bio (professional, conversational, etc.)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Open with a single sentence stating your field and primary open-source focus.
- Follow with one or two sentences on {{open_source_impact}}, using specific numbers or project names where given.
- Add one sentence on {{community_activity}} to show ongoing commitment, not just past work.
- Close with a one-sentence statement of what sponsorship enables, if relevant.
Output format — A single paragraph of 60–100 words in {{tone}}, written in first person, ready to paste into a sponsors profile field.
Guardrails — Do not invent metrics, project names or achievements not in {{open_source_impact}}. Avoid generic phrases like "passionate developer." Keep it factual and specific.
Example — field: developer tooling; open_source_impact: maintain a CLI tool with 2M+ npm downloads; community_activity: mentor first-time contributors monthly; tone: professional but warm.
