What prompt scaffolding do you find yourself typing every single time?

by

I've spent the last 6 months building PromptAI 360, a macOS app that turns rough text into a structured AI prompt anywhere on your Mac. Launching today (May 15, Vercel Day).

  

The whole product came from one moment: 11pm in Claude Code, typing "as a senior engineer, given context X, fix the race condition in Y, output a diff with explanation" for the 50th time that month. Same scaffolding every time, from scratch, never saved anywhere.

  
Curious what scaffolding YOU find yourself typing into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Warp, or wherever you live:

  

  — The role line ("act as a senior X")?

  — The output format line ("respond as a numbered list")?

  — The constraints block ("don't include explanations")?

  — Something I haven't seen yet that I should be including?

  

Drop your most-repeated prompt template below. I want to make sure PromptAI generates the scaffolding people actually need, not just what I personally use. Best examples might shape our next iteration.

I definitely use the scaffolding of “act like a ____ with 20 years of experience” and ask for “processes broken down into actionable steps”
