A crowdsourced cheat sheet for Claude wranglers
A copy-paste repository of system prompts to make Claude behave like a tutor, marketer, or Linux kernel maintainer.

What it does
This is a community-curated “awesome list” that stores prompt templates for Anthropic’s Claude inside a single sprawling README and a handful of linked markdown files. You scroll the table of contents, pick a scenario—explain Python, summarize a PDF, write cold emails—and paste the corresponding instructions into Claude. There is no software to run; it is a cookbook of text snippets.
The interesting bit
The list veers from official Anthropic examples to “Consult Steve Jobs and Elon Musk” and “Claude-Instant Jailbreak,” treating prompt engineering as folk art practiced by marketers, developers, and red-teamers alike. That chaos is the point: it captures how people actually use large language models in the wild, not just in the lab.
Key highlights
- Covers utilitarian tasks (
JSON mode, Python explanations, document summarization) alongside business-marketing recipes (AIDA frameworks, SEO keywords, press releases). - Includes links to Anthropic’s official prompt library and engineering tutorials, sitting side-by-side with community submissions.
- Prompts live as plain markdown; there is no framework, CLI, or dependency graph to wrestle with.
- One file attempts to channel Linus Torvalds for code reviews, because of course it does.
Caveats
- The
READMEis mostly a wall of anchor links; the actual prompt text often hides in separate markdown files, so browsing can feel like a scavenger hunt. - Typos and formatting inconsistencies (“beforhand,” “fro your new business,” “stratergies”) suggest crowd-sourced maintenance with light editing.
- Several entries focus on jailbreaks or “DAN” modes, which may stop working as Anthropic updates its safety filters.
Verdict
Grab a template here if you want a quick starting point for a specific Claude task and don’t mind sifting through a noisy bazaar. If you are looking for a structured prompt-engineering framework or versioned SDK, keep walking.
