NOVEMBER 21, 2025

Hope everyone had a great week as we head into the Turkey Daze.

After starving myself for 35 hours straight, taking 24 doses of Sutab, and undergoing the dreaded C, I don't plan on holding back at the dinner table this year.

If you're going anywhere over the next week, I wish you safe travels and plenty of time to play with some AI toys. Here's what I've got to close the week:

• PromptCraft: 5 Ruthless Mentor Prompts, 6 Prompt Framework Breakdowns, One Simple Reasoning Prompt, and More
• THE HEADLINES: GPT 5.1 Pro Quietly Arrives; Musk Seeks $230 B Valuation for xAI; Best Practices for Using Gemini 3; Free ChatGPT for Teachers; White House Readies Executive Order Against States Regulating AI
• Tool Spotlight: Snippets Makes AI Prompts Portable Across Any Platform

PROMPTS: 5 Ruthless Mentor Prompts, 6 Prompt Framework Breakdowns, One Simple Reasoning Prompt, and More

• ​Five Brutally Honest Mentor Prompts for ChatGPT: Long post shares five prompts that turn ChatGPT into a ruthless mentor—killing sunk-cost projects, surfacing Jungian “shadow” motives, writing future failure post-mortems, separating status vs. wealth games, and using inversion to list failure habits before mapping them into corrective behaviors.
• ​Practical Guide to Six Proven Prompting Frameworks: Educational breakdown of six frameworks—P.A.S., A.I.D.A., F.A.B., R.E.A.D., G.O.A.T., and C.A.R.E.—with plain-language explanations and examples. It shows how to structure prompts for persuasion, product descriptions, research synthesis, storytelling, and impact-focused testimonials, giving readers plug-and-play templates for better outputs.
• ​Simple Reasoning Prompt for Personalized Life Advice: Short tip suggests enabling a model’s reasoning mode, then asking: “Give me the best advice you can give me based on everything you know about me.” The OP reports surprisingly sharp, personalized guidance, reminding users that accumulated chat history plus explicit reasoning can surface non-obvious insights.
• ​Prompt Chain Method to Iteratively Refine Any Prompt: Classic “prompt chain” recipe: have ChatGPT analyze your rough idea, rewrite it for clarity, identify improvements, refine again, then return an optimized final prompt. The author notes you can run the steps manually or through tools like Agentic Workers to queue them automatically.
• ​Writing Style Prompt Makes ChatGPT Sound More Human: Widely shared writing-style prompt instructs ChatGPT to use short, plain sentences, avoid clichés and hype, keep things direct, allow informal grammar, and drop fluffy adjectives. The goal is output that reads like a normal, honest human email or blog post instead of generic “unleash your potential” copy.

Snippets Makes AI Prompts Portable Across Any Platform

Snippets AI is a dedicated prompt command center for anyone who’s tired of hunting through Notion docs, GitHub gists, and random files for “that one great prompt.” It gives teams a single, searchable library where you can save prompts from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and more, then tag, version, and share them without friction.

Collaboration features like shared workspaces, permissions, and team templates make it easy to keep everyone using the latest, best-performing prompts, while rich entries let you attach audio or video context when a text-only description isn’t enough.

There’s also a creator angle: you can publish prompt packs to the community and earn money based on views, turning your hard-won prompt engineering into an actual asset instead of a buried doc.

With a global shortcut for quick insertion and an API for pulling prompts straight into your tools, Snippets AI is built to sit in the middle of your AI workflow rather than off to the side as “just another doc.”
