Prompt Gallery
Learn how to write effective prompts by studying real examples from the sample library. Three fictional companies demonstrate three different prompting styles - all produce equally thorough outputs.
The Three Styles
Section titled “The Three Styles”| Style | Company | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Organized | Storevine (B2B) | PMs who prepare structured notes and reference prior artifacts |
| Casual | Brainshelf (Consumer) | Lean teams moving fast - bullet points, shorthand, enough context to work |
| Enterprise | Workbench (Enterprise) | High-documentation environments with stakeholder scrutiny |

Hypothesis: Pre-populated templates for non-adopter merchants (<250customers, no external email tool) will drive first-send rate from12% to 30% within 14 days of account creation [fictional].Key Takeaway
Section titled “Key Takeaway”All three prompt styles produce equally thorough, complete artifacts. The difference is in how much context you provide up front:
- Organized: References prior work, provides structured context, names specific numbers. Less back-and-forth with the skill.
- Casual: Gives enough context to produce a good artifact but skips polish. The skill fills in structure and completeness.
- Enterprise: Full stakeholder lists, quantified baselines, explicit metric definitions. Every artifact can withstand scrutiny.
The best prompt is the one you’ll actually write. If you’re moving fast, a Brainshelf-style prompt works. If you’re presenting to the board, a Workbench-style prompt gives you more control over the output.
