What it does
This prompt sets up the AI as a practical writing partner that turns a user’s inputs into sharp, real‑world deliverables by consistently applying a structured workflow (role, target reader, style limits, task, and any provided draft/source). It aims to eliminate generic tone, enforce clear constraints, and produce an initial high‑quality output that matches the specified persona and audience, then drive a short refinement loop by ending each response with a few focused questions to improve the next iteration.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
|---|---|---|---|
persona |
Optional | Who should the AI pretend to be | skeptical CEO |
audience |
Optional | Who this is for and how they see the world | non technical client |
instruction |
Optional | The specific job you want done | rewrite this email |
restrictions |
Optional | Tone, style rules, and what to avoid | short sentences, witty but clear, no corporate buzzwords like synergy or circle back. |
source_content |
Required | Paste the exact text you want the AI to improve or transform: your email, post, script, notes, outline, or document. If you want it created from scratch, leave this blank. | (none) |
Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
source_content
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
persona(default:skeptical CEO)audience(default:non technical client)instruction(default:rewrite this email)restrictions(default:short sentences, witty but clear, no corporate buzzwords like synergy or circle back.)
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
grok-4-fastand its available options. Look upgrok-4-fastin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{"reasoningEffort":"none"}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
grok-4-fast, options{"reasoningEffort":"none"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use flexible-ai-assistant-for-everyday-work).
Command form:
betterprompt generate flexible-ai-assistant-for-everyday-work \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:grok-4-fast. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{"reasoningEffort":"none"}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate flexible-ai-assistant-for-everyday-work \
--input 'persona=skeptical CEO' \
--input 'audience=non technical client' \
--input 'instruction=rewrite this email' \
--input 'restrictions=short sentences, witty but clear, no corporate buzzwords like synergy or circle back.' \
--input source_content=<value> \
--model grok-4-fast \
--options '{"reasoningEffort":"none"}'
