mAIn Street #132: A 'M.A.G.I.C. Prompt, Plus Help with Writing Performance Reviews, Protecting Data, and Matching Your Voice; Guideflow: From Screen Recording to Instant Product Demo


NOVEMBER 25, 2025

Early housekeeping for the week. I do not plan on running a newsletter after Wednesday (Nov. 26). I'll be enjoying the holidays with family (aka running all over the state and eating multiple dinners, gaining multiple pounds).

So, this is one of two for the week. We will return on Tuesday, Dec. 2. In the meantime, everyone, have a great holiday, and let's finish up strong. Here's what I've got for ya today:

  • PromptCraft: A 'M.A.G.I.C. Prompt, Plus Help with Writing Performance Reviews, Protecting Data, and Matching Your Voice
  • THE HEADLINES: Liquid Cooling Tech Could Make AI More Efficient; UAE Eyes Africa for $1 Billion Expansion; REPORT: Gmail Can Read Your Emails and Attachments to Train AI, But Google Pushes Back; White House Pauses Order on Disallowing States to Regulate AI
  • Tool Spotlight: Guideflow: From Screen Recording to Instant Product Demo

PROMPTS: A 'M.A.G.I.C. Prompt, Plus Help with Writing Performance Reviews, Protecting Data, and Matching Your Voice

  • Data Protection Backup System Architect Prompt: Story-driven prompt that casts the AI as a data-protection specialist who audits what truly needs backing up, designs cloud and local redundancy, automates schedules, and insists on recovery testing so your critical work survives hardware failure, theft, or accidents without complex tooling. (Reddit)
  • Prompt Workflow To Make ChatGPT Match Your Voice: OP shares a persona-training workflow: feed ChatGPT your past messages, posts, notes, and voice-to-text rambles so it learns your word choices, pacing, transitions, and emotional tone. Turns generic outputs into drafts that feel like “you on a good day.” (Reddit)
  • Worldbuilding Engine GPT For Fictional Universes: Post introduces “The Chronicler – World Engine,” a custom GPT set up as a guided worldbuilding assistant. It helps authors develop settings, factions, histories, and magic systems through structured questions, reusable templates, and iterative refinement instead of ad‑hoc one‑off prompts. (Reddit)
  • Performance Review Architect Prompt For Managers: Framework-style prompt that turns raw bullet‑point evidence—achievements, incidents, metrics—into structured, neutral performance reviews. It separates facts from emotion, reduces recency and halo/horn bias, and generates clear development plans and coaching language instead of vague “work on communication” feedback. (Reddit)
  • Full Prompt Engineering System And MAGIC Framework: Long post summarizing a full prompt‑engineering system built over two months. Introduces the MAGIC framework—Make it assume a role, Add context, Give format, Instruct clearly, Clarify/iterate—plus examples and a link in comments to a more detailed guide with 50+ ready‑made prompts. (Reddit)
