"but don't share the prompts."

To be honest I don't want to see anyone elses prompts generally because what works is so damn context sensitive - and seem to be so random what works and what not. Even though someone else had a brilliant prompt, there are no guarantees they work for me.

If working with something like Claude code, you tell it what you want. If it's not what you wanted, you delete everything, and add more specifications.

"Hey I would like to create a drawing app SPA in html that works like the old MS Paint".

If you have _no clue_ what to prompt, you can start by asking the prompt from the LLM or another LLM.

There are no manuals for these tools, and frankly they are irritatingly random in their capabilities. They are _good enough_ that I tend to always waste time trying to use them for every novell problem I came face with, and they work maybe 30% - 50% of time. And sometimes reach 100%.

"There are no manuals for these tools" is exactly why I like it when people share the prompts they used to achieve different things.

I try to share not just the prompts but the full conversation. This is easy with Claude and ChatGPT and Gemini - they have share links - but harder with coding agents.

I've recently started copying and pasting my entire Claude Code terminal sessions into a shareable HTML page, like this one: https://gistpreview.github.io/?de6b9a33591860aa73479cf106635... (context here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/28/github-universe-badge/) - I built this tool for doing that: https://tools.simonwillison.net/terminal-to-html
