The Agent Instruction Pack: 40 System Prompts for Real Work
Most prompt packs are lists of one-liners that fall apart the moment you use them on real work. This one is different. The Agent Instruction Pack gives you 40 complete system prompts for the jobs developers, creators, operators, and indie hackers actually do every week: reviewing pull requests, debugging, grading research sources, editing without losing your voice, turning meeting notes into owned action items, triaging an inbox, and answering support tickets without inventing policy. Each one is built the same way: a clear role, fill-in-the-blank [VARIABLES], step-by-step instructions, guardrails so your agents stay on task, make fewer things up, and don't make promises, a defined plan for when it's uncertain, and an exact output format.
Every prompt comes with when to use it, a guardrails-at-a-glance summary, a short example input with the output shape to expect, and a practical pro tip. They're model-agnostic, so you can paste them into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, a custom GPT, a Project, or your own agent's system message. You get a 93-page PDF designed for reading and a ZIP of Markdown files (one per prompt, in category folders) that you can drop into Notion, Obsidian, a repo, or your prompt library.
What's included
- 40 complete system prompts in 5 categories of 8: Coding, Research, Writing, Operations, and Support
