Ypo AI Prompts

An organized YPO AI prompt library — 6,500 prompts cross-filed into 1,060 category files covering every business function.

YPO AI Prompts Skill

Source Library

The prompts are bundled with this skill at references/ypo-ai-prompts.

Key files:

output/category-index.md — readable list of all categories with prompt counts.
output/category-index.csv — spreadsheet-friendly category index.
output/categories/*.md — one Markdown file per category, containing the actual prompts.

Total: 6,500 YPO AI prompts cross-filed into 1,060 category files. A single prompt can appear in multiple category files because most prompts have multiple tags — like cross-listing a video in multiple playlists.

Workflow

Clarify the business goal. If it isn't already clear, ask one focused question to nail down: audience, department, channel, job to be done, desired output format. Skip this if context is already clear.
Search the library before drafting from scratch. This library is the first stop, not the last resort.
Use the helper script for targeted search (run from the skill's root folder; it auto-locates the bundled library relative to itself):

python3 scripts/search_ypo_prompts.py --query "customer retention" --limit 8

Useful options:

# Discover categories by keyword
python3 scripts/search_ypo_prompts.py --list-categories marketing

# Search inside a specific category
python3 scripts/search_ypo_prompts.py --category marketing --query "campaign planning" --limit 10

# Browse a category's top prompts
python3 scripts/search_ypo_prompts.py --category sales --limit 12

If the script can't run, fall back to grep/ripgrep over references/ypo-ai-prompts/output/categories/*.md.

If a result needs deeper inspection, open the category file the script points to.
Synthesize. Pull the strongest prompt ideas for the user's use case. Don't dump raw text unless they ask for the exact original prompts.

Output Rules

Default output:

Lead with the strongest prompt ideas — not a recap of the search.
Rewrite prompts so they fit the user's stated business context.
Preserve useful structure from the source prompts; improve clarity and specificity.
Surface the source category so the user can trace the idea.
Label any new prompt inspired by the library as "adapted" or "new" — never imply it's a verbatim YPO prompt.
Tie prompts to OKRs / metrics where possible.

Search Guidance

Prefer targeted searches over reading huge files directly:

For a known category, use --category.
For a fuzzy topic, use --query across the whole library.
For category discovery, use --list-categories.
Avoid loading every category file into context. Use the script or rg to find a small set of relevant files first.

Quality Check

Before finalizing, verify:

Prompt ideas match the user's stated goal.
Prompts are paste-ready into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Variables use clear bracket syntax: [audience], [product], [campaign], [KPI].
Output avoids unnecessary jargon unless the user asks for implementation detail.
Strong prompts are listed first; mediocre ones are pruned, not buffered.
