How to go from beginner to pro at using AI

Hey, it's Cindy 馃尡 You commented LEVELS, so here are the prompts that take you from beginner to pro. They work in Claude or ChatGPT, and each one is ready to copy.
btw the waitlist for AI System Club is now open! If you're keen on using AI to automate your content, video editing, job search, business or build AI agents, feel free to sign up (only if you want to hehe). Ps. the waitlist gets first dibs:)

the four levels

Bad, good, excellent

Questions ask, then make it find holes, then make agents debate
Posts start from outliers and real audience questions, then find the gaps
Prompts save what worked, then turn it into a skill
Tasks check its work, then teach it to check itself

In short: make AI push back, make it reuse what worked, until it can check itself.


1 路 make it push back

1. The research debate

Instead of one answer, you get three researchers who argue it out and land on what they agree on.

馃挕 debate prompt
I want a well-checked answer to this question: [your question]

Research it as three independent researchers, each with a different angle (for example: the optimist, the sceptic, and the practical expert). Search the web if you can.
1. Each researcher gives their answer with sources.
2. They debate: each one points out holes in the others' answers.
3. Finish with the consensus they all agree on, what they still disagree on, and how confident you are.
Want real separate agents? In Claude Code you can ask it to "spin up 3 research subagents and have them debate". Each one works on its own, so they don't just copy each other.

2 路 find what nobody has answered

2. The gap finder

Paste in your outliers or the questions your audience keeps asking, and find the ones nobody has answered well yet.

馃挕 gap finder prompt
Here are questions my audience keeps asking (from comments, DMs and top posts in my niche):
[paste them]

1. Group them into themes and rank the themes by how often they come up.
2. Search the web and tell me which questions already have great answers out there, and which ones nobody has answered well yet.
3. For the 3 best gaps, give me a post idea, a hook, and the one thing my answer needs to include to be the best one out there.

3 路 reuse what worked

3. Turn a good prompt into a skill

When a prompt works, don't lose it. Ask the AI to turn it into something you can reuse every time.

馃挕 skill builder prompt
This prompt gave me a result I loved: [paste the prompt and the result]

Turn it into a reusable skill:
1. Write clear step-by-step instructions anyone could follow to get this same result again.
2. List what I need to give it each time (the inputs).
3. Add a short checklist of what a great result must include.
4. Format it so I can save it as a Claude skill, a ChatGPT custom GPT, or project instructions.
Where to save it: Claude has Skills and Projects, and ChatGPT has custom GPTs and Projects. Pick whichever you already use.

4 路 make it check itself

4. The self-checker

Write down what "good" looks like once, then make the AI check its own work against it before you see anything.

馃挕 self-check prompt
Here is a task I give you often: [describe the task]
Here are the corrections I usually have to make: [list them]

1. Turn my corrections into a checklist of what a great result must have.
2. Do the task.
3. Check your work against the checklist, fix anything that fails, and check again.
4. Only then show me the final version, with a short list of what you checked and fixed.
Make it stick: save the checklist inside your skill from step 3, so every future run checks itself.
the waitlist is now open

AI System Club is launching soon

Build AI systems with me through recorded lessons you can follow at your own pace. Join the waitlist for first access and the founding price.

btw this list gets first dibs
the moment doors open :)
