My exact daily prompt stack for research, video scripts, and learning Mandarin faster.
Most days I run five prompts before lunch. None of them are clever. They just compound.
1. The morning brain dump
I paste every loose thought into Claude and ask it to cluster them by topic and tag urgency. Takes 30 seconds, saves an hour of context-switching.
2. The Mandarin drill
Five sentences in English, translate to Mandarin, then back-translate to check meaning shifted. HSK 5 grind has been faster this way than anki alone.
3. The video hook stack
Drop a topic. Ask for 20 hooks across four formats (POV, contrarian, list, story). Keep the two I'd actually film, throw the rest.
