I never start a piece with a blank page. I talk for five minutes into Superwhisper, paste the transcript into Claude with my style guide, and ask for three different shapes of the same argument.
Then I pick one and edit by hand. The model is good at shape and bad at taste, so taste stays with me.
- Every reusable instruction lives in an Obsidian note tagged
#prompt. - Perplexity runs a citation pass before anything goes out.
- Apple Shortcuts clips anything I read into the vault with a one-line summary.
A prompt is a recipe. Write it down, version it, share it.
- Talk your first draft, then let the model shape it96
Dictate five rambling minutes, paste the transcript with a style guide, ask for three shapes.
Writing
- Keep a prompt library in Obsidian, tagged and versioned64
Prompts are recipes. Store them as notes with a tag, a date, and the model they were tuned on.
Writing
- Inject a style guide instead of describing your voice58
Ten example sentences you actually wrote beat a paragraph of adjectives.
Writing
- Use an editor agent for the small stuff, a terminal agent for the big stuff45
Inline edits in Cursor for one-file changes; Claude Code when the task spans the repo.
