People who know how to use AI and those who don’t have five times the efficiency. The difference is—can you write prompts?

Today, I’ve compiled 12 of the most frequently used daily scenarios, each with 2-3 prompt templates that can be directly copied and pasted. Replace the content in curly brackets with your own, paste it into any AI dialog box, and it’s ready to use.

1. Write weekly reports / work reports

Template 1: STAR Weekly Report Generator

You are a seasoned career coach. Based on the scattered work content I provide, please organize it into a professional weekly report using the STAR rule (Scenario-Task-Action-Result).

Article writing: Character setting + word count + style + structure + audience

Requirements:

1. Each task is summarized in one sentence, expressed in data (e.g., “Improved by X%” or “Saved Y hours”)

2. It is divided into three sections: “Completed This Week,” “In Progress,” and “Next Week’s Plan.”

3. Annotation priority (P0/P1/P2)

4. The obstacles encountered and the support needed are listed separately

5. Use a professional and concise tone to avoid a routine

Email Writing: Recipient + Purpose + Tone + Length

My job responsibilities are as follows: {{RAW_work_items}}

My position is: {{job_title}}

The reporting target is: {{report_to}}

The more specific the fragmented content, the better. For example, “fixing 3 bugs” is 10 times more effective than “doing development.”

2. Quantify all results that can be measured

3. Package daily work as higher-dimensional expressions such as “projects/systems/mechanisms.”

Example (optional): Input{{Example input}} → Expected output{{Example output}}

Priority of the five elements:

• 🎭 Roles — Determine the AI’s level of knowledge and vocabulary style

• 🎯 Tasks — The more specific, the better

• 📋 Background — Give AI enough context

• 📐 Formatting — Clearly define the output structure

• 📝 Example — Give an expected output sample

Practical tip: If the AI is not satisfied with the first output, don’t rewrite the prompt—just say “Point 3 is too vague, expand on it” or “The tone is too formal, change it to conversational.” Multi-turn conversation > One perfect prompt.
