Meta-prompting: ask the AI how to prompt it

My best prompts come when I ask Claude to give me a prompt so I can feed it back to itself. Tell me how to prompt you. I think meta-prompting is the best source for prompting.

So I created a Grok bot whose sole job is prompting Claude on tasks. I tell it, edit this video, and the outcome is: you are the greatest video editor in the world, you have done video editing for this and this and this, and here's what we want you to do for this and this and this.

Its basic job is to give me one beautiful prompt that guarantees a better outcome than me putting in a bare requirement. And it works really well.

Bots managing bots

I think that's the future, and it's why bots are going to have to manage the bots. They're going to know the best possible output from that initial effort.

Try this: next time, ask the AI to write the prompt first, then paste its prompt back in.
