117 Chinese AI prompts with more metadata than some APIs

What it does

Yao Open Prompts is a curated library of 117 Chinese-language AI prompts covering work, learning, content creation, marketing, and daily life. Each prompt is stripped of blog-style fluff—no tutorial ads, screenshots, or HTML debris—and stored as a clean Markdown file with standardized YAML frontmatter. There is a full English mirror of all prompts, plus Python scripts to check repo health, regenerate the catalog, and rebuild the project webpage.

The interesting bit

The author treats prompt curation like software release management: versioned files, a release-checklist.md, status flags like active or third-party-review, and a strict separation between the copy-paste prompt body and supplementary reference material. Even the meta-prompts for writing better prompts are versioned (currently V0.6).

Key highlights

• 117 prompts across 9 categories, heavily weighted toward content (50) and marketing (28)
• RTF-based meta-prompt system for generating high-quality prompts from scratch
• Bilingual support with prompts-en/ mirroring the Chinese structure exactly
• Maintenance tooling: check_repo.py, generate_catalog.py, and generate_webpage.py
• CC BY 4.0 licensing for content, with third-party material quarantined in references/ until cleared

Caveats

• Very thin coverage in some categories: only 1 programming prompt and 2 “life” prompts
• English prompts are direct translations, not independently authored
• The repository is essentially well-organized text files with helper scripts; the “Python” language tag refers to maintenance automation, not the prompts themselves

Verdict

Worth bookmarking if you work in Chinese-language AI content, marketing, or business operations and want battle-tested prompts without the usual blogspam. Skip it if you are looking for technical coding prompts or a programmable framework.
