Editing The Cross-Domain Prompt Library (section)

== 🔧 Jump in (Tinkerers start here) ==

You're going to build a personal prompt library of techniques stolen from other fields — documented well enough to teach someone else.

'''Phase 1 — Survey 3 domains.''' Pick 3 fields that are different from your own ''and'' from each other. Send this to three separate sessions:

<blockquote>
How do professionals in '''[field]''' use AI in sophisticated ways? I don't want generic "they use ChatGPT" answers. Give me 5 advanced AI techniques or prompting patterns that are specific to this field. For each:
1. Name the technique
2. Describe the prompt pattern (what input, what instructions, what output format)
3. Why this technique works in this domain (what problem it solves)
4. Example prompt (ready to use)
</blockquote>

'''Phase 2 — Select your top 5.''' From the 15 techniques across 3 domains, pick the 5 that are most interesting or most likely to transfer. For each one, send:

<blockquote>
Analyze this technique from '''[source domain]''': '''[technique description]'''

Map the transfer potential:
1. '''Core principle:''' What's the underlying mechanism that makes this work, independent of domain?
2. '''Direct transfer:''' What would this look like applied to '''[your field]''' with minimal modification?
3. '''Modified transfer:''' What would need to change to make it work well in my context?
4. '''What doesn't transfer:''' What aspect is domain-specific and should be replaced?
5. '''Adapted prompt:''' Write a ready-to-use version for my field
</blockquote>

'''Phase 3 — Test each adapted prompt.''' Run all 5 adapted prompts on real tasks in your work. For each, document:

| Technique || Source Domain || My Task || Result Quality (1-5) || What Worked || What Needed Adjustment


'''Phase 4 — Build the library entry.''' For the 3 best-performing techniques, create a library card:

<blockquote>
Create a "Prompt Library Card" for this technique:

'''Name:''' [give it a memorable name]
'''Borrowed from:''' [source domain]
'''Core principle:''' [1 sentence — why this works]
'''Original use:''' [what it does in the source domain]
'''My adaptation:''' [what it does in my domain]
'''Ready-to-use prompt:'''
``<code>
[the tested, refined prompt with placeholders]
</code>``
'''When to use:''' [scenarios where this technique is the right choice]
'''When NOT to use:''' [scenarios where it fails or is overkill]
'''Transfer notes:''' [what I learned about adapting this — tips for others]
</blockquote>
