Module 10 Activity: Prompt Template Library

Activity ID: AIT-M10-A01 Estimated active time: 35-50 minutes

Purpose

Create a small personal library of reusable, safe prompt templates.

Use safe, fictional or public material throughout. Nothing in this activity requires a real name, account, record or figure.

Activity Steps

Part 1: Choose four repeated task types.

Pick from what you actually repeat, not what would be interesting to template.

Part 2: Create one short template for each.

Twelve lines is a good target. A template nobody reads before using is not a template.

Part 3: Add placeholders for safe context.

Make each placeholder say what belongs in it. [CONTEXT] invites you to skip it; [WHAT CHANGED AND WHEN] does not.

Part 4: Add review criteria and do-not-use conditions.

The do-not-use line is the safety rule. Without it, a template gets applied to the first task that looks similar.

Part 5: Write one maintenance rule for improving templates later.

Say what would trigger a change — for instance, one line added after each significant mistake, dated.

What good looks like

A strong response has four templates you would actually use, each naming what it is not for.
