How to use the vault (and get good AI output)

The vault is organised by the step you're on, not by tool. Find your step, open the note, copy the prompt, fill in the [BRACKETS], paste it into Claude (or ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex).

Folder	Use it when
1 · Topic	You don't know what to sell yet, or you're unsure it'll sell
2 · Product	You have a topic and need to build the thing
3 · Sell	You need the offer, the price and the sales page
4 · Content	You need hooks, scripts and a week of videos
5 · Emails & DMs	You need the automation messages and email sequences
6 · Templates	Fill-in-the-blank structures for the most common docs
7 · Checklists	Before launch, and every week after

The five rules that make AI output not sound like AI

1. Give it your voice first

Generic input → generic output. Fill in the Voice profile template (folder 6) once, save it, and paste it at the top of every writing prompt. In Claude, put it in a Project as instructions so it's always there.

2. Ask it to interview you

Most prompts in this vault start with "Ask me questions first." That's on purpose. Your answers are what make the result specific to you. Never skip them.

3. Give examples

"Write a hook" gets you a cliché. "Here are 3 hooks I liked: …, …, …. Write 10 in this style" gets you something usable.

4. Iterate, don't restart

The first answer is a draft. Follow up with:

• "Make it 30% shorter."
• "Rewrite this like you're texting a friend."
• "What's the weakest part? Fix only that."
• "Give me 3 completely different angles."

5. Ban the AI words

Paste this at the end of any writing prompt:

Style rules: no em dashes. Don't use these words: delve, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive into, journey, landscape, realm, seamless, leverage, robust, harness, empower, tapestry, testament, crucial, in today's fast-paced world. No "Here's the thing". No rhetorical questions as openers. Short sentences. Concrete examples over adjectives. Write like a real person who knows the topic and is a bit blunt.

tipRead every output out loud before you use it. If it sounds like a LinkedIn post, ask for a rewrite "as if you're explaining it to a friend at a bar."
