45 Claude Code Prompts That Developers Don’t Share Publicly (5 Categories)

By SimplyDigital | AI Tools & Productivity | June 2026

Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding tool that runs directly in your terminal. Unlike a regular chatbot, it can read files, write code, execute commands, and work across your entire codebase autonomously.

But here’s the thing: the quality of your prompts determines everything. Vague prompts in Claude Code don’t just produce vague answers — they produce vague actions, and actions have real consequences in your codebase.

After deep research across Anthropic’s official documentation, developer communities, and real-world workflows, we compiled the 45 most effective Claude Code prompts, organized into 5 practical categories.

💡 How to use this guide: Each prompt is copy-paste ready. Adapt the parts in [brackets] to your specific project. The structure of the prompt matters more than the exact wording — study the pattern, then make it yours.

📋 Table of Contents

Category 1 — Session Setup (Prompts 1–9)
Category 2 — Code Generation (Prompts 10–18)
Category 3 — Debug & Test (Prompts 19–27)
Category 4 — Security & Code Review (Prompts 28–36)
Category 5 — Workflow Power-Ups (Prompts 37–45)
Pro Tips Before You Start

⚠️ The #1 mistake developers make: Starting Claude Code with a vague prompt like “build me a login system” without any project context. Claude will build something — but it won’t match your stack, conventions, or file structure. Always orient before you build.

📂 Category 1 — Session Setup (Prompts 1–9)

Context-setting is the highest-leverage habit you can build with Claude Code. Before asking Claude to do anything, give it a clear mental model of your project. Spending 2 minutes here saves 20 minutes of misaligned output later.

Prompt #01

Project map before touching anything

Read the files in this project and give me a summary of: the architecture, the main technologies used, the entry point, and which directories actually matter. Ask me up to 5 clarifying questions if anything is unclear.

Prompt #02

CLAUDE.md auto-briefing setup

Create a CLAUDE.md file for this project. Include: project purpose, tech stack and versions, naming conventions, which directories contain what, and any hard constraints (e.g. never modify /legacy without explicit instruction).

Prompt #03

Understand before building (plan mode)

Enter plan mode. Read /src and understand how sessions and auth are handled. Do NOT make any changes yet — only explore and answer questions.

Prompt #04

Session reset and context reload

Use /clear to reset context. Then re-read only the files most relevant to today’s task: [list files here]. Confirm your understanding before proceeding.

Prompt #05

Stack-specific orientation

This is a [React 18 + TypeScript] frontend connected to a [FastAPI] backend. Use functional components only. Follow PascalCase for components and camelCase for utilities. All API calls go through /src/api/client.ts.

Prompt #06

30-minute onboarding plan for a new engineer

Map this repo: list key directories, runtime, build/test commands, and where configs live. Then propose a 30-minute onboarding plan for a new engineer. Goal: I need to understand the architecture before shipping a fix today.

Prompt #07

Reference files instead of pasting code

Read @/src/auth/session.ts and @/src/api/client.ts. Based on those files, explain how sessions are managed and suggest improvements — without changing anything yet.

Prompt #08

Pipe data directly for analysis

cat error.log | claude “Analyze this log for patterns, root causes, and the top 3 most actionable fixes.”

Prompt #09

Goal condition active for the whole session

/goal: All unit tests in /tests must pass before ending any turn. Run the test suite after every change. If tests fail, iterate until they pass.

✅ Quick win: Create a CLAUDE.md file on day one of any project. Claude Code reads it automatically at the start of every session — so you only write it once and benefit forever.

⚡ Category 2 — Code Generation (Prompts 10–18)

The goal here is to force Claude to generate code that actually fits your project — matching your stack, conventions, and existing patterns — instead of generic boilerplate.

Prompt #10

Feature end-to-end with tests

Implement: [feature name]. Start by clarifying requirements (ask if needed), then design the data model, API routes, and UI states. Propose a plan first, then implement. Add tests and keep diffs small and reviewable.

Prompt #11

Precise feature request that fits the stack

Add a [feature] to [file/module]. Match the existing naming conventions, error handling style, and file structure already in place. Do not introduce new abstractions.

Prompt #12

Pseudocode bridge — plan before building

Before writing any code, describe in plain English what needs to happen step by step. Then convert that pseudocode into an implementation plan with exact files and functions to touch.

Prompt #13

API integration with error handling

Connect to [API name] using the existing /src/api/client.ts pattern. Handle auth, rate limits, timeout, and error responses. Add a retry with exponential backoff for transient failures.

Prompt #14

Environment setup from scratch

Set up a local dev environment for this project. List all required dependencies, explain what each does, and write a setup script that another engineer can run in one command.

Prompt #15

Dependency analysis before installing

Before installing [package], analyze: what it does, its size, its license, whether we already have an equivalent, and any known security advisories. Recommend whether to install it.

Prompt #16

Documentation generator

Generate documentation for this module. Explain what it does, its public API (inputs, outputs, errors), and include at least 2 usage examples. Write it so a new engineer could use it without reading the source.

Prompt #17

Multi-file awareness before making changes

Implement [feature] but first identify every file that needs to change. List them with a one-line explanation of why before touching anything.

Prompt #18

Add observability — logs, metrics, traces

Add logs, metrics, and traces for the critical path. Define useful structured fields, avoid logging PII, and add an alert condition for error rate above [threshold]. Show where to find these signals in [your monitoring tool].

🐛 Category 3 — Debug & Test (Prompts 19–27)

The key insight here: give Claude a check it can run. Without a pass/fail signal, Claude stops when the work “looks done” and you become the verification loop. With a check, the loop closes on its own.

Prompt #19

Root cause debugging — no suppressing errors

The build fails with this error: [paste error]. Fix it and verify the build succeeds. Address the root cause — do not suppress the error or wrap it in a try/catch that swallows it.

Prompt #20

Fix failing tests with proof

Run the test suite. For each failing test: 1) explain the failure cause, 2) propose the smallest safe code change, 3) show how to prove the fix. Prefer fixing code over disabling tests.

Prompt #21

Write tests before implementing (TDD)

Write unit tests for [feature] first. Include: the happy path, edge cases ([list them]), and error states. Once tests are written, implement only what makes them pass.

Prompt #22

TDD red-green-refactor pattern

Follow TDD: write a failing test, implement the minimum code to make it pass, then refactor. Show each step explicitly before moving to the next.

Prompt #23

Verify UI changes visually

[Paste screenshot] Implement this design. After implementing, take a screenshot of the result and compare it to the original. List all differences and fix them.

Prompt #24

Rubber duck debugging — explain the logic

I’m stuck. Walk me through this function line by line as if explaining to someone unfamiliar with the codebase. Then tell me where the logic breaks and what the minimal fix is.

Prompt #25

Stop hook verification gate

Set a Stop hook that runs [test command]. Block the turn from ending until the test returns exit code 0. If it blocks 8 times in a row, surface the error and stop.

Prompt #26

Second-opinion verification subagent

After implementing [feature], spawn a verification subagent with a fresh context. Its only job: try to find a flaw in the implementation. Report what it finds before we merge.

Prompt #27

Pre-deployment checklist

Before I deploy, generate a checklist covering: env vars set, migrations applied, feature flags configured, monitoring alerts active, rollback plan documented, and any TODOs that must be resolved before production.

✅ Pro tip: Anthropic’s own best practices documentation explicitly calls out verification criteria as one of the core habits for strong Claude Code results. If you add nothing else, add a check Claude can run after every change.

🔒 Category 4 — Security & Code Review (Prompts 28–36)

Run these before merging anything that touches authentication, user data, file uploads, or external APIs. These prompts treat Claude like a senior security reviewer — not a rubber stamp.

Prompt #28

Full security audit before merging

Review these changes for: auth/authorization flaws, SQL/command injection, SSRF, XSS, CSRF, and hard-coded secrets. Produce a prioritized list with severity, exploit scenario, and exact mitigation for each finding.

Prompt #29

Honest code review — no flattery

Review this code as a senior engineer who prioritizes correctness and maintainability over compliments. List what’s wrong, what’s fragile, what should be refactored, and what should be deleted.

Prompt #30

Safe refactor — behavior preserved

Refactor this module for readability without changing behavior. First write characterization tests that lock in the current behavior. Then refactor in small commits with explanations. Flag any suspected behavior changes.

Prompt #31

Performance triage with ranked fixes

Profile the slow path. Identify bottlenecks, then propose 3 optimizations ranked by impact vs. risk. For each: exact files/functions to change, expected tradeoff, and a benchmark plan showing before and after.

Prompt #32

Migration helper for legacy code

Migrate this module from [old pattern/version] to [new pattern/version] systematically. Do it in small steps. Write a regression test before each step and run it after. Flag anything that cannot be migrated safely.

Prompt #33

Dependency upgrade with rollback plan

Plan an upgrade of [dependency] from [vX] to [vY]. List breaking changes, required code changes, test coverage gaps, and a rollback plan if the upgrade destabilizes the system.

Prompt #34

High-signal PR description

Write a PR description for these changes. Include: problem and who it impacted, solution and why this approach, key files for a reviewer to inspect, tests run with results, risks in production, and rollout plan.

Prompt #35

Secrets and credentials scan

Scan all modified and staged files for: hard-coded API keys, tokens, passwords, or credentials. List every match with file and line number, and recommend the fix. Do not output the actual secret values.

Prompt #36

Error handling audit

Audit this codebase for unhandled errors, swallowed exceptions, and missing fallback states. List them in order of severity and propose the minimal fix for each.

🚀 Category 5 — Workflow Power-Ups (Prompts 37–45)

These are the advanced patterns that separate developers who use Claude Code as a fancy autocomplete from developers who use it as a true agentic partner. They require a bit more setup but unlock serious leverage.

Prompt #37

Parallel agents for large tasks

Split this large task into [N] independent subtasks. Launch a subagent for each. Each subagent should operate on its own branch and report its result. Merge results when all are complete.

Prompt #38

Convert a manual process into a script

I do this manually every week: [describe process step by step]. Write an idempotent shell or Python script that automates it. Include error handling and a dry-run mode so I can test before running for real.

Prompt #39

Git workflow automation

After implementing [feature]: create a descriptive commit message, push to a new branch named [your naming convention], and open a PR with a summary of what changed and why.

Prompt #40

Context compression for long sessions

Use /compact to summarize this session. Keep: current task, files modified, decisions made, and what still needs to be done. Discard everything else to free context for the next phase.

Prompt #41

Unattended run with auto-verification

Complete [task] without stopping for confirmation. After each step, run [check command] and iterate until it passes. If you hit 3 consecutive failures on the same step, stop and show me the full error.

Prompt #42

Explore vaguely before committing to anything

What would you improve in this file if you had free rein? Don’t make any changes — just list your observations. I’ll tell you which ones to pursue.

Prompt #43

Model selection for the right task

Use /model claude-sonnet-4-6 for this refactoring task. Switch to claude-opus-4-6 only if you encounter a design decision that requires deep reasoning about architecture trade-offs.

Prompt #44

Script a repeatable maintenance audit

Write a script that runs these checks on every deploy: dead code detection, unused dependencies, linting, and test coverage threshold. Output a report I can commit to /reports for tracking over time.

Prompt #45

Ask Claude what to ask Claude

Based on the current state of this codebase, what are the 5 most valuable prompts I should run to improve it? Rank them by impact and explain why each one matters right now.

💡 Pro Tips Before You Start

These principles apply across all 45 prompts and will immediately improve your results:

1. Orient before you build. Every Claude Code session starts fresh — it has no memory of previous sessions. Spend 2 minutes on context setup before asking for anything. This single habit eliminates most misaligned output.

2. Use CLAUDE.md for permanent context. Create this file in your project root. Claude reads it automatically at the start of every session. Write it once, benefit from it forever.

3. Specificity scales results. “Fix the bug” produces different output than “The build fails with this error: [paste]. Fix it and verify the build succeeds — address the root cause, don’t suppress it.” The structure of the prompt determines the quality of the action.

4. Give Claude a check it can run. The difference between a session you watch and one you walk away from is a test command, a build exit code, or a screenshot to compare. Without it, you become the verification loop.

5. Manage context actively. Claude Code’s context window fills fast. Use /clear when switching tasks and /compact to compress long sessions. Performance degrades as context fills — don’t ignore this.

6. Plan before you implement. Use plan mode to separate exploration from execution. Let Claude read files and answer questions first. Only switch to implementation mode when you’ve confirmed the plan is right.

⚠️ Remember: Claude Code takes you literally and does exactly what you ask — nothing more, nothing less. Earlier versions would infer intent and expand on vague requests. Current versions don’t. Be explicit about what “done” means for every task.

Final Thoughts

Claude Code is one of the most capable AI coding tools available — but capability without the right prompts produces average results. The 45 prompts in this guide aren’t magic words. They’re structured communication patterns that force clarity: what “done” means, what to change, how to verify it, and what to do next.

Start with Category 1 and make context-setting a habit. Add a verification prompt to every task. Run a security audit before every merge. The prompts compound over time — the more consistently you use them, the faster you ship and the fewer corrections you make.

10 Hidden Uses of NotebookLM

SimplyDigital.gr — AI Tools Deep Dive — May 2026

NotebookLM:
10 Hidden Uses Nobody Talks About

Way beyond summaries and podcasts, these are the things you can actually create that most people have no idea exist.

The 10 Hidden Uses

1. Build a Full AI Persona Inside Every Notebook

Advanced

With “Configure Chat” now supporting 10,000 characters, you can give NotebookLM a complete personality : tone, expertise, role, restrictions. It stops being a generic chatbot and becomes “Alex the Legal Analyst” or your own Brand Voice Expert.

How to do it

Open your Notebook → click the “Configure Chat” icon
Write a detailed system persona up to 10,000 characters : role, tone, restrictions, output format
Upload relevant documents as sources so the persona speaks ONLY from those
Share the notebook with teammates, everyone gets the same AI specialist

Real use: Create a “Brand Voice Assistant” notebook with all your style guides as sources. Every piece of content, always on-brand.

2. Spot Contradictions Across 10+ Documents Instantly

Killer Feature

Upload multiple contracts, reports, or research papers and ask NotebookLM to find where they disagree. It highlights conflicting numbers, timelines, and claims, the kind of thing a human would miss after hour 3 of reading.

How to do it

Upload 5–10 PDFs or Google Docs on the same topic (e.g. insurance quotes, vendor proposals)
Prompt: “Find all contradictions between the sources, where do they give different answers on the same topic?”
Ask for output as a table: Source A vs Source B, topic, discrepancy

Real use: Three supplier offers in one notebook. Instant due diligence. Zero manual comparison.

3. Your Content “Series Bible” — A Memory That Never Forgets

Creative

Upload every episode, script, character note, and brand asset, and NotebookLM becomes the living memory of your series. Ask it anything about your own content. No more continuity errors, no more “wait, what did I say in episode 12?”

How to do it

Upload every chapter, script, or character doc as a separate source
Prompt: “Give me the full timeline of events so far” or “Which character mentioned X?”
Use it to generate new ideas consistent with your existing lore

Real use: Podcasters, YouTubers, novelists, your entire universe in one notebook that answers questions like a co-writer.

4. Extract Structured Data to Google Sheets via Data Tables

Studio Feature

There’s a nearly invisible feature in the Studio panel: Data Tables. Tell NotebookLM exactly which columns you want and it extracts information from 50+ pages of documents directly into a spreadsheet. Zero copy-paste.

How to do it

Upload documents with structured info (job postings, grant calls, product catalogs)
Studio panel → “Data Table” → define your columns: e.g. “Company | Salary | Deadline | URL”
Export directly to Google Sheets for filtering, sorting, and analysis

Real use: 20 job postings become a clean salary comparison table in under 2 minutes.

5. Join the Podcast Live — Interactive Audio Mode

Viral Worthy

Almost nobody knows Audio Overview has an “Interactive Mode.” You can interrupt the two AI hosts mid-conversation, ask your own questions, redirect the discussion, and they respond to you in real time.

How to do it

Generate any Audio Overview from your material
While it’s playing, hit “Join” to enter the live conversation
Ask questions, hosts pause, answer you directly, then continue
Also customize: Debate, Brief, Critique, or Deep Dive format instead of default

Real use: Study while commuting, and pause the “podcast” to ask for clarification like you’re actually in the room.

6. Mind Map an Entire Competitor Website for Content Gaps

Research

Load a competitor’s entire website or blog into a notebook, generate a mind map, and instantly see every topic they cover, and every gap they’ve missed. The best content strategy tool hiding inside a research tool.

How to do it

Use the Chrome “Web Importer” extension or paste URLs manually as sources
Studio panel → “Mind Map” → open and expand all nodes
Export as image for your content strategy deck
Prompt: “What related topics are missing from these sources?” instant gap analysis

Real use: Load a competitor’s blog. Find what they haven’t written about yet. Write it first.

7. The Annual Review That Writes Itself

Productivity

Upload your work journals, project notes, milestone emails, and KPI results, then ask NotebookLM to identify your top 3 impact areas with actual citations. Evidence-backed, no blank page, no exaggeration.

How to do it

Upload: meeting notes, project summaries, KPI results, self-assessment notes from the year
Prompt: “What are my 3 biggest contributions? Give specific examples from the sources”
Then: “Write a performance review using ONLY real evidence from the documents”

Real use: Zero blank-page paralysis. Every claim cited. Nothing made up, nothing undersold.

8. Culinary Invention Engine — New Recipes from Your Own Collection

Unexpected

Upload 50+ recipes and NotebookLM creates brand new ones, not random inventions, but dishes built on the patterns and flavor logic of what you already gave it. It learns your style, not some generic AI food style.

How to do it

Upload a recipe collection (cookbook PDF, food blog exports, personal notes)
Prompt: “Based on these, create a new recipe that fits this style — gluten-free”
Ask it to explain WHY each combination works, based on your source recipes

Real use: Food bloggers who want signature dishes. Or simply: “I only have these 6 ingredients — now what?”

9. Live Event Quiz from Speaker Slides — No Asking Required

Event Pro

Upload speaker decks before a conference and generate a full interactive quiz in minutes — without asking the speakers to write a single question. Use it live with Slido or Mentimeter for audience engagement that looks effortless.

How to do it

Collect PPTX/PDF from speakers before the event
Studio → Quiz → set difficulty, topic focus, number of questions
Copy questions into Slido or Mentimeter for live audience polling
Generate Flashcards too — send as post-event learning material

Real use: Conference organizers, trainers, HR teams — instant engagement layer from existing content.

10. Video Overviews with Whiteboard / Kawaii / Watercolor Visual Styles

Hidden Gem

Almost no one uses Video Overview, the Audio Overview’s sibling that adds animated visuals. Choose between Whiteboard, Kawaii, Watercolor, and Classic visual styles. A dry document becomes a stylized animated explainer video.

How to do it

Studio panel → “Video Overview” (not Audio)
Choose Format: Explainer or Brief , then Visual Style: Whiteboard, Kawaii, Watercolor, or Classic
Fill in “What should the hosts focus on?” the most important quality lever
Use as client explainers, onboarding videos, or social content

Real use: Turn a standard SOP into a Kawaii-style onboarding video. New hires remember it. Guaranteed.

How to Design Anything on Claude in 5 Minutes

No design software. No coding skills. No waiting. Here is the complete, step-by-step guide to using Claude as your personal design tool — and getting polished results in minutes.

Before You Start: What Claude Can Actually Design

Most people think of Claude as a writing assistant. But it is also a fully capable design tool — one that renders live, interactive visuals directly inside the chat window. No exports, no Figma, no browser setup required.

Claude creates designs in four main formats, each suited to a different use case:

Format	Best For
HTML / CSS	Landing pages, cards, layouts, blog headers, posters
React (JSX)	Interactive components, dashboards, apps with toggles or tabs
SVG	Icons, illustrations, infographics, logo concepts
Mermaid	Diagrams, flowcharts, system maps, user journey maps

If you are unsure which format to use, do not worry. Just describe what you want in plain language and Claude will choose the right output automatically.

The 5-Minute Design Process

Step 01 — 30 seconds

Know Your Output Type

Before you type anything, spend 30 seconds deciding what kind of thing you are building. This single choice shapes the quality of everything that follows.

Building a page or layout? Ask for HTML.
Need interactivity — buttons, sliders, tabs? Ask for React.
Creating a graphic or illustration? Ask for SVG.
Mapping a process or system? Ask for Mermaid.

Step 02 — 1 minute

Write a Detailed Prompt

This is the most important step. A vague prompt produces a generic result. A detailed prompt produces something you will actually want to use. Think of it as briefing a designer: the more context you give, the better the output.

Use this simple formula when writing your prompt:

[What it is] + [Who it's for] + [Visual style] + [Key elements] + [Colors and fonts]

Here is the difference in practice:

“Make me a website”

“Design a modern SaaS landing page for an AI writing tool aimed at content creators. Use a dark background (#0f0f0f) with neon green accents (#00ff88). Include a hero section with a headline and CTA button, three feature cards with icons, and a pricing section with three tiers. Clean and minimal style, Playfair Display for headings.”

More examples of prompts that work well:

“Create a mobile app UI for a fitness tracker — dark mode, card-based layout, progress rings, orange accent color.”

“Design an infographic showing the five stages of AI adoption for businesses — modern flat style, blue and purple palette.”

“Build an interactive pricing calculator with sliders for React.”

“Make a Notion-style dashboard with a sidebar, stats cards, and a recent activity feed.”

Step 03 — 30 seconds

Submit and Watch It Render

Hit enter. Claude generates the code and immediately renders a live visual Artifact in the panel to the right of your chat. You do not need to open a browser, paste anything, or install a single tool. The design appears in real time, often within 10 to 20 seconds.

Pro tip: If the design does not appear automatically, look for the Artifact panel toggle at the top right of your Claude window and make sure it is enabled.

Step 04 — 2 minutes

Iterate with Follow-Up Prompts

Here is where Claude truly earns its place in your workflow. You do not re-design from scratch — you refine with plain English, one instruction at a time. Each follow-up takes around 10 to 20 seconds to re-render, meaning you can cycle through five or six revisions in under two minutes.

To change colors:

“Change the background to midnight blue and make the buttons gradient from purple to pink.”

To adjust layout:

“Move the pricing section above the features, and make the hero headline larger.”

To swap content:

“Replace the placeholder text with real copy for a tool called WriteFlow.”

To upgrade the style:

“Make it feel more premium — add subtle shadows, rounded corners, and a glassmorphism card effect.”

To add interactivity:

“Add a hover effect on the cards and make the CTA button pulse gently.”

To make it responsive:

“Make this mobile-friendly with a hamburger menu on small screens.”

Step 05 — 1 minute

Export or Copy the Code

Once you are happy with the result, you have several options:

Copy the code — click the code icon in the Artifact panel to view and copy the raw HTML, React, or SVG.
Download as a file — use the download button on the Artifact to save it directly to your computer.
Screenshot it — perfect for social posts, slide decks, or client presentations.
Paste into your project — the generated code works directly in any standard web project.

Power Tips for Better Results

Reference a Design Style

You can direct Claude toward a specific visual aesthetic by naming a reference. Try phrases like “in the style of Linear.app” or “make it look like Stripe’s homepage.” Claude understands a wide range of design languages and will adapt accordingly.

Always Provide Hex Codes for Colors

If brand accuracy matters, never say “blue” when you can say #1a56db. Hex codes eliminate guesswork and ensure the output matches your actual brand palette every single time.

Specify Exact Dimensions When Needed

For specific deliverables, state the dimensions upfront. For example: “Design this as a 1200×630px Open Graph image” or “Make a 1080×1920 Instagram Story layout.” Claude will size the canvas accordingly.

Ask for Components, Not Full Pages

When you only need one piece — a pricing card, a navbar, a testimonial block — ask for just that component. Smaller scopes render faster and give you cleaner, more reusable code.

Use “Keep Everything the Same But…”

This is one of the most useful phrases in your iteration toolkit. It tells Claude exactly what to preserve while changing only what you specify. Without it, Claude may interpret your follow-up as permission to redesign broadly.

Describe Your Audience

Adding audience context shapes the visual complexity and tone of the output. “This is for non-technical users aged 45 to 60” produces something very different from “this is for startup founders in tech.”

Quickstart Cheat Sheet

The 5-Step Process at a Glance

Pick your format — HTML, React, SVG, or Mermaid
Write a rich prompt — What + Who + Style + Elements + Colors
Let it render — the Artifact appears on the right in seconds
Refine in plain English — iterate fast with follow-up prompts
Copy or download the code — use it anywhere you need

Try It Right Now

The best way to understand what Claude can do is to experience it yourself. Paste the prompt below directly into Claude and watch a live design appear within seconds — then start tweaking.

“Design a modern landing page hero section for a digital marketing agency called SimplyDigital. Dark background, bold white headline, a short subtitle, a bright CTA button, and a subtle animated gradient in the background. Clean and professional.”

From there, add one follow-up at a time. Change the colors, swap the copy, adjust the layout. Within five minutes you will have something that looks genuinely designed — not generated.

That is the shift Claude makes possible: from describing a design to holding it in your hands, in minutes, with no tools other than the words you already know how to type.

That Actually Work

A curated breakdown of the most creative and practical image prompts using ChatGPT’s image tools — with exact prompts you can copy.

Use them as-is or adapt them to your own content. All prompts were originally shared as part of a visual series on AI image creation.

Create Your Personal Colour & Hairstyle Analysis

Personal Styling

Hairstyle Analysis Prompt

“Create a hairstyle analysis graphic using this portrait. Show side-by-side hairstyle comparisons to highlight which hairstyles suit the subject best. Make it visual-first, with short labels only and no paragraphs.”

Color Analysis Prompt

“Create a personal color analysis graphic using this portrait. Show side-by-side clothing color comparisons to highlight which colors suit the subject best. Make it visual-first, with short labels only and no paragraphs.”

Reimagine Scenes as Crayon Drawings

Art Style Transfer

Prompt

“Edit the provided image and reimagine the entire scene as a crayon-style drawing. Simplify the details and make it look like it was drawn by a 10-year-old child. Do not use the original image’s colors. Give it the feeling of being drawn on a sheet of white paper, with a very cute, playful, and innocent look. Add charming childlike elements such as flowers, candy, stars, clouds, and other sweet decorative details to enhance the whimsical feel. Keep the overall result adorable, colorful, and full of childlike innocence.”

Get a Full Facial Breakdown in Seconds

Beauty Analysis

Prompt

“Create a clean, minimal, high-end facial beauty report based on this photo. Use a black-on-white design with thin lines, rounded cards, and a luxury aesthetic. Include a simple contour line drawing of the face, an honest attractiveness analysis (symmetry, proportions, bone structure, skin, etc.), clear scores, strengths, areas for improvement, and actionable grooming/style recommendations. Keep it data-driven, visually refined, and not overly flattering.”

Creating a 3×3 Storyboard & Animating with Seedance 2.0

Storyboard + Animation

Prompt

“Create a 3×3 storyboard for a short animated sequence based on the attached image series. Each frame should be a key moment in the story, consistent in style, lighting, and character.

Beautifying Boring Graphs

Data Visualization

Prompt

Redrawing Images in the Most Scribbly Way

Comedic Art

Prompt

“Redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in MS Paint with a mouse. It should be vaguely similar but also not really, kind of matching but also off in a confusing, awkward way, with that low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel that really emphasizes how ridiculously bad it is. Actually, you know what, whatever, just draw it however you want.”

Instant Sticker Packs

Branding + Design

Prompt

“I want to come up with about 16 more kinds of stickers that say SLAP@. So please compile them all into one image and output that. I want a variety of sticker types. Not just color variations, but ones with completely different shapes and designs. Stylish street stickers.”

How to use these prompts

Open ChatGPT and select the GPT-4o model (ChatGPT Plus required).

Category 1: Digital Products & Online Income

These prompts help you create and sell low-cost digital products — things like templates, guides, and downloadable resources — that can generate occasional passive income once they’re built. Results take time and are never guaranteed, but the startup costs are low and the skills you build are genuinely useful.

Prompt 1 — Create a Notion template to sell

I’m a 9-to-5 worker with [X hours] per week to spare. Help me build a Notion template for [specific use case, e.g. weekly budget tracker / freelance client tracker / meal planner]. Write a step-by-step plan to create it, suggest a realistic price between $5–$25, and recommend 2–3 places I can list it for sale such as Gumroad or Etsy. Include what I should write in the product description to attract buyers.

Prompt 2 — Start a low-effort digital download shop

I want to open an Etsy or Gumroad shop selling digital downloads around the topic of [your interest or skill, e.g. budgeting, meal planning, fitness tracking]. Help me brainstorm 5 specific product ideas I can create using free tools like Canva or Google Sheets. For each idea, explain what it is, how long it would realistically take to make, and a suggested price. I have no design experience so keep suggestions beginner-friendly.

Prompt 3 — Turn a skill into a paid PDF guide

I know a lot about [topic you’re good at, e.g. saving money on groceries / beginner home workouts / organising a small apartment]. Help me turn this knowledge into a simple 5–10 page PDF guide I can sell for $7–$15. Give me an outline with section headings, 3 key points per section, and a suggested title. Also write a short product description I can use when listing it for sale. I want this to be genuinely helpful, not fluffy.

Prompt 4 — Build a simple resource bundle

I want to create a bundle of 3–5 digital resources on the topic of [topic, e.g. job interview prep / starting a vegetable garden / home decluttering]. Each resource should be something simple like a checklist, template, or short guide that I can make in Canva or Google Docs over a weekend. List each item, describe what it includes, and explain how to package and price the bundle realistically for someone just starting out.

Prompt 5 — Write product listings that actually sell

I’ve created a digital product: [describe your product]. Help me write a compelling product listing for [platform, e.g. Etsy / Gumroad]. Include a title (under 60 characters), a 150-word description that explains what it is, who it’s for, and what they’ll get, plus 5 relevant search tags. Keep the tone friendly and honest — no hype or unrealistic claims.

Prompt 6 — Price a digital product confidently

I made a [describe your digital product] and I’m not sure how to price it. Help me think through pricing by comparing what similar products sell for on [platform], what value it provides to the buyer, and what a fair starting price would be for someone new with no reviews yet. Give me a low, medium, and high pricing option with a reason for each, and suggest which one I should start with and why.

Prompt 7 — Automate delivery so it runs passively

I want to set up a simple system where my digital product [describe it] gets delivered automatically after someone buys it, so I don’t have to do anything manually. Walk me through how to set this up on [Gumroad / Etsy / Payhip] step by step, using free tools. Explain what I need to prepare before going live and what the buyer experience will look like.

Prompt 8 — Repurpose existing knowledge into products

I’ve been working in [your job or industry] for [X years]. List 5 things I already know well from my job that other people would genuinely pay to learn in a simple guide or template format. For each idea, explain who would buy it, what format makes most sense (checklist, template, guide, worksheet), and a realistic price. I want ideas that use knowledge I already have, not things I’d need to research from scratch.

Prompt 9 — Validate before you build

Before I spend time creating a digital product about [your topic idea], help me validate whether people actually want it. Give me 3 free ways to test demand before building anything — for example, searching Etsy or Google Trends, checking Reddit communities, or posting a question in a Facebook group. Walk me through exactly what to look for in each method so I can decide if it’s worth my time to create this product.

Category 2: Creative Skills (Writing, Design, Photography)

These prompts help you turn creative abilities you likely already have — writing clearly, using tools like Canva, or taking photos — into small service-based income. Most of these start with finding one or two clients, not building a full-time business overnight.

Prompt 10 — Find your first freelance writing client

I’m a 9-to-5 worker who writes well and wants to pick up 1–2 paid writing clients on the side. I have [X hours] per week available. Help me identify 3 realistic types of businesses or individuals who regularly need freelance writers, such as small local businesses, bloggers, or newsletter owners. For each, explain what kind of writing they need, how to find them without a paid job board, and what a fair beginner rate would be per article or per hour.

Prompt 11 — Build a simple writing portfolio from scratch

I want to start freelance writing but I have no published clips or portfolio yet. Help me create 3 portfolio writing samples I can write this week on the topic of [your niche or interest]. For each sample, give me a title, a brief outline, and tips on where to publish it for free (e.g. Medium, LinkedIn, a personal blog) so I have real links to share with potential clients.

Prompt 12 — Start designing with Canva for clients

I’m comfortable using Canva and want to offer a simple design service on the side. Help me choose one specific design service I can offer — such as social media post templates, business card design, or PDF lead magnets — that is realistic to do in evenings after work. Explain what tools I need (free versions only), what to include in a basic starter package, how to price it for beginners, and 2 places I can find my first client without spending money on advertising.

Prompt 13 — Sell photography on stock sites

I enjoy photography as a hobby and want to start earning a small side income by uploading photos to stock sites. I have a [smartphone / DSLR / mirrorless camera]. Help me understand which stock sites accept beginner photographers, what types of photos tend to sell well (e.g. lifestyle, food, local scenes, business settings), and what I should avoid uploading. Be realistic about how long it typically takes to start seeing downloads and set honest income expectations.

Prompt 14 — Offer a done-for-you blog post service

I want to offer a simple side service where I write one blog post per week for a small business owner or solopreneur. Help me create a one-paragraph service description, decide on a realistic price for a 600–800 word post as a beginner, and write 3 short outreach messages I could send to local business owners or Facebook group members who might need this. Keep it professional and honest — no promises about viral traffic or guaranteed results.

Prompt 15 — Write and sell greeting card messages

I enjoy writing and want to explore selling original greeting card verses or short copy to small card companies or Etsy sellers. Explain how this works, where to find buyers who purchase original card copy, what a typical submission looks like, and what realistic payment per verse looks like. Give me 3 example card verse topics I could write for this week to start building a small portfolio.

Prompt 16 — Create social media content for local businesses

I want to offer a simple social media content writing service to 1–2 local small businesses as a side hustle. I’d write their Facebook or Instagram captions a few times a week. Help me create a basic starter package — what’s included, how many posts per week, a realistic price for someone starting out with no testimonials yet, and a simple message I can send to a local business owner to offer the service. Be specific and practical.

Prompt 17 — License your photography to local businesses

I take decent photos and want to earn a small amount by licensing them to local businesses for use on their website or social media, rather than uploading to stock sites. Explain step by step how to approach a local business, what to offer, how to price a simple one-time license for a small business (not a major corporation), and what a basic written agreement should include to protect both sides. Keep this realistic for a complete beginner.

Prompt 18 — Ghostwrite for busy professionals

I write well and want to earn side income by ghostwriting short content for busy professionals — things like LinkedIn posts, short blog articles, or weekly newsletters — where they provide the ideas and I write the words. Explain how to find people who need this, what to charge as a beginner for a single LinkedIn post or a 400-word newsletter, how to handle the fact that they’ll publish it under their name, and what to include in a simple agreement.

Category 3: Social Media & Content Creation

These prompts help you build a small but real online presence and explore how content creators earn — through affiliate links, small sponsorships, newsletters, and digital products. Growth takes consistent effort over months, not days. These prompts are designed to help you start the right way with realistic expectations.

Prompt 19 — Start a niche Facebook page that earns

I want to build a Facebook page around [your topic or hobby, e.g. budget meal ideas / DIY home fixes / local parenting tips] and eventually earn a small income from it. Help me create a 4-week content plan with 3 posts per week, explain what types of posts tend to get the most organic reach without paid ads, and describe 2–3 realistic monetisation options once the page grows — such as affiliate links, sponsored posts from small local businesses, or selling a digital product. Be honest about the time it typically takes to see traction.

Prompt 20 — Build a simple newsletter on the side

I want to start a free email newsletter on the topic of [your topic] and grow it slowly in my spare time, with the goal of eventually earning a small income through sponsorships or a paid tier. Help me choose a specific niche angle, suggest a free platform to start on (e.g. Substack or Beehiiv), give me a content plan for the first 4 issues, and explain what realistic subscriber growth looks like in the first 3–6 months for someone starting from zero with no existing audience.

Prompt 21 — Monetise a YouTube channel realistically

I want to start a YouTube channel around [your topic] while working full time. Help me plan a realistic upload schedule I can maintain with [X hours] per week, suggest 5 specific video ideas I can film without expensive equipment, and explain the honest requirements to reach YouTube Partner Program eligibility. Also describe 2 other ways I could earn from the channel before hitting 1,000 subscribers, such as affiliate links or a simple digital product.

Prompt 22 — Become a part-time Pinterest manager

I’ve heard Pinterest management is a viable side hustle for people who are organised and enjoy visual content. Help me understand exactly what a Pinterest manager does for a client, what skills I’d need to get started (and which I could learn for free this week), what a realistic hourly or monthly retainer rate is for a beginner with no clients yet, and how to find my first client through free channels like Facebook groups or LinkedIn.

Prompt 23 — Create content around your 9-to-5 expertise

I work in [your industry/job role] and want to create content on [LinkedIn / a blog / a Facebook page] sharing practical tips from my day job. Help me turn my professional knowledge into a content strategy — give me 10 specific post or article ideas I could create this month, explain the tone and format that works best for [platform], and describe how this kind of content could eventually lead to side income through consulting, speaking, or selling a guide related to my expertise.

Prompt 24 — Grow and manage a Facebook group for income

I want to start and grow a Facebook group around [your topic, e.g. meal planning on a budget / side hustles for parents / beginner gardening] and eventually earn from it. Help me write an engaging group description, create a pinned welcome post, suggest 5 types of posts that build community and get consistent engagement, and explain 2–3 honest ways a group admin can eventually earn from their community without spamming members or making unrealistic promises.

Prompt 25 — Start affiliate marketing with existing content

I already post content on [platform, e.g. Facebook / Instagram / a blog] about [your topic]. Help me understand how to add affiliate links to what I already share, without it feeling salesy or dishonest. Explain how affiliate marketing actually works, how much someone realistically earns when starting out, which free affiliate programmes are beginner-friendly for my niche (e.g. Amazon Associates, ShareASale), and what disclosures I’m legally required to include.

Prompt 26 — Repurpose your content across platforms

I create content about [your topic] on [main platform] but I want to repurpose it to grow on 1–2 other platforms without doubling my workload. Show me a simple system for taking one piece of content — for example a Facebook post — and turning it into content for [second platform, e.g. Pinterest / LinkedIn / a short email]. Give me a step-by-step workflow I could do in under 30 minutes per week and explain which platforms pair well together for someone in the [your niche] space.

Prompt 27 — Pitch and land a paid sponsored post

I have a small but engaged audience on [platform] around [your topic]. I’d like to approach a small brand or local business about a paid sponsored post or partnership. Help me write an outreach email to a [type of brand] that explains who my audience is, what I can offer, and what a fair rate would be for a beginner creator with [approximate follower/page size]. Keep the tone professional and grounded — no inflated claims about reach or results.

Category 4: Teaching & Coaching

If you have a skill, professional background, or subject knowledge that others want to learn, teaching and coaching is one of the most honest and sustainable side hustles available. These prompts help you package what you already know into workshops, courses, sessions, or consulting — without needing formal qualifications in most cases.

Prompt 28 — Teach a skill via a paid workshop

I’m good at [your skill, e.g. basic bookkeeping / beginner watercolour painting / using Excel for budgeting] and want to run a one-off paid online workshop in the evenings. Help me plan a 60–90 minute workshop including a simple agenda, what platform to host it on for free or low cost (e.g. Zoom), how to price it realistically as a first-time host, and where to promote it to find 5–10 paying attendees without spending money on ads. Be specific about what I’d actually need to prepare.

Prompt 29 — Create and sell a mini online course

I want to create a short online course on [your topic] that I can sell for $27–$97. I have [X hours] per week and want to build it over 4–6 weeks. Help me outline a 4–6 module course structure with a clear learning outcome for each module, suggest free or low-cost tools to record and host it, and explain what a realistic number of sales in the first 3 months looks like for someone with a small existing audience. No false promises — just honest expectations.

Prompt 30 — Offer 1-on-1 coaching sessions

I have experience in [your area of expertise, e.g. career development / personal finance / fitness as a hobby] and want to offer paid 1-on-1 coaching calls as a side hustle. Help me define clearly what I’d coach people on, who my ideal client is, what a realistic hourly rate is for someone without formal coaching credentials, how to structure a simple 60-minute session, and 2 free ways to find my first paying client this week.

Prompt 31 — Tutor students in your subject area

I’m strong in [subject, e.g. maths / English / science / a language] and want to tutor students on evenings or weekends. Help me decide whether to find clients independently or through a tutoring platform, compare 2–3 real platforms with honest pros and cons for tutors, set a realistic hourly rate for my experience level, and write a short tutor bio I can use to attract my first students. Include practical advice on how to handle scheduling and payment simply.

Prompt 32 — Run a paid group programme

Instead of 1-on-1 coaching, I want to run a small group programme on [your topic] where I teach 5–10 people at once over 4 weeks. This would let me earn more per hour of my time. Help me design a simple 4-week programme outline, decide on a realistic group size and price, choose a free platform to run it on, and write a short Facebook post I could share to gauge interest from people in my network. Keep expectations realistic for a first attempt.

Prompt 33 — Teach a local in-person class or workshop

I’d like to teach a practical skill in person in my local area — something like [your skill, e.g. basic sewing / sourdough bread baking / beginner photography]. Help me plan a 2-hour beginner class including what I’d cover, what supplies participants would need to bring, how to find a free or low-cost venue (e.g. community halls, libraries), how to price it, and how to promote it locally through free channels like Facebook community groups or a local notice board.

Prompt 34 — Create a free lead-in to attract coaching clients

I want to attract paying coaching or tutoring clients by first offering something free — like a free 20-minute call, a free resource, or a free mini-lesson — to build trust. Help me design a simple free offer related to [your topic] that naturally leads into a paid service. Write the short Facebook or social media post I’d use to promote the free offer, explain how to run the free session in a way that feels helpful rather than salesy, and describe how to transition the conversation towards a paid option.

Prompt 35 — Package knowledge into a group membership

I’m thinking about starting a simple paid membership community around [your topic] where members pay a small monthly fee (e.g. $10–$25) for access to resources, a private group, and a monthly live Q&A. Help me plan what would be included each month, which free or low-cost platform to use to host it (e.g. Facebook Group, Patreon, or a simple Notion page), what a realistic number of founding members looks like and how to find them, and how to keep the workload manageable alongside a full-time job.

Prompt 36 — Consult in your professional field part-time

I’ve been working in [your industry] for [X years] and want to offer occasional consulting to small businesses or individuals who need help with [specific problem you solve at work]. Help me define clearly what problem I’d be helping people solve, who my ideal consulting client is, what a realistic hourly consulting rate is for someone in my field, how to find my first client without a professional website, and what simple steps I should take to avoid any conflict with my current employer.

Important Disclaimer

Please read before you get started.

The prompts in this article are tools to help you think, plan, and take action — they are not a shortcut to guaranteed income. Every side hustle idea shared here is genuinely achievable, but “achievable” is not the same as “easy” or “fast.” Building any kind of side income takes real time, consistent effort, and a willingness to learn from setbacks along the way.

Results will vary significantly from person to person depending on factors including your existing skills, the time you can realistically dedicate each week, the market you’re in, how much you follow through, and a degree of luck in timing. Some people who try these side hustles will earn a meaningful extra income within a few months. Others may take longer, or may need to adjust their approach several times before finding what works for them. Both outcomes are completely normal.

Nothing in this article should be taken as financial, legal, or professional advice. Before starting any earning activity, you are responsible for checking the tax rules in your country or region, reviewing whether your employment contract restricts any outside income or work, and ensuring that any services you offer comply with local laws and regulations.

The AI prompts provided here are starting points. The output you receive from an AI tool will depend on the quality and specificity of your inputs, and should always be reviewed critically before you act on it. AI tools can make mistakes and should not replace your own research and judgement.
