Prompt Patterns

This repository maintains reusable prompts for common tasks, so agents (and humans directing them) don't reinvent the same instructions each time.

Where prompts live

  • prompts/ — company-level reusable prompts. See prompts/README.md for the index.
  • ventures/digital-products/prompts/ — Digital Products venture-specific prompts. See ventures/digital-products/prompts/README.md.
  • Other ventures may maintain their own prompts/ directory following the same convention.
  • .claude/commands/ — tool-specific (Claude Code) slash-command definitions, which may wrap or reference the reusable prompts above.

How to use them

Before writing a one-off prompt for a recurring kind of task (e.g. "draft a product specification," "run a research pass with evidence classification"), check whether an existing reusable prompt already covers it. Reuse and adapt rather than rewriting from scratch — this keeps outputs consistent with the standards referenced throughout docs/governance/ and docs/ai/.

Relationship to this directory

Prompts are operational tooling, not policy. If a prompt seems to encode a rule that belongs in docs/governance/ or docs/ai/ (e.g. a new mandatory check), that rule should live in the appropriate governance/AI document and the prompt should reference it — not the other way around. See prohibited-behaviors.md, item 21, on avoiding scattered, drifting copies of the same rule.
