Write prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Claude Code

The recipe

1. 1Open your AI tool: chat.openai.com, claude.ai, Cursor, Zed, Claude Code in the terminal.
2. 2Click into the prompt box so the cursor is blinking there.
3. 3Set the LLM style to Prompt (Settings → Output → Style: Prompt, or scroll on the pill).
4. 4Press the hotkey, speak your context like you'd explain it to a colleague, release.
5. 5The pasted text is now reshaped: clear instructions, no "um", no rambling.

What the Prompt style does

• Removes filler and false starts ("so basically...", "like I was saying...").
• Restructures into instruction → context → constraints → expected output.
• Drops first-person framing ("can you...") in favour of imperative ("do this...").
• Keeps technical terms, file names, library names, and quoted strings verbatim.

Examples

So like, I have this React component, it's the ProductCard one, and it keeps re-rendering every time the parent re-renders. I think maybe I need useMemo or something but I'm not sure. Can you help me figure out the right fix and explain why?

The Prompt style turns that into:

text
Diagnose why ProductCard (React) re-renders on every parent render. Recommend a fix (useMemo, React.memo, callback identity, etc.) with reasoning. Output: short diagnosis, then the patch.
