Prompt Shortcut Pack — 12 Ready-to-Use ChatGPT Codes (One‑page PDF + Infographic)

Each code is a 3–6 character prompt prefix you paste before your request. Example: "EL10: Explain machine learning". The pack contains: 12 codes with copy-ready templates, a sample input + sample output preview for each, quick modifiers (length, tone, format), chaining patterns (how to combine codes), and an 'infographic generation' prompt you can feed to an image generator to create a one‑page PDF. Use these as starting points and tweak for your context.

1) EL10 — Explain like I'm 10

Template: "EL10: Explain [TOPIC]. Use simple analogies, no jargon, max 150 words, one everyday example."

Example input: "EL10: Explain encryption."

Modifiers: +analogy, +one-sentence-summary.

2) DLTR — Direct, low-talk, point-to-point

5) TLDR — Ultra-brief executive summary + 1-sentence use-case

7) PRO — Professional polish

Preview: polished email snippet.

8) CODEX — Generate runnable code with comments & a simple test

Template: "CODEX: Write [language] code to [TASK]. Include comments, error-handling, and a 2-line usage example/test."

Example: "CODEX: Python script to fetch JSON from an API and print keys."

Preview: includes try/except and usage sample.

9) PROMPT — Optimize this prompt for clarity & token efficiency

Template: "PROMPT: Improve this prompt for a language model: [YOUR PROMPT]. Output: (A) optimized prompt, (B) why changes help, (C) expected max tokens."

Example input: long, vague prompt; output: concise optimized version.

10) CRITQ — Critique & Improve (helpful on drafts)

Template: "CRITQ: Critique the following [TEXT]. List 4 issues and provide a corrected version emphasizing clarity, bias checks, and evidence needs."

Preview: issues + corrected paragraph.

11) ROLE — Roleplay as an expert with constraints

Template: "ROLE: Act as a [JOB TITLE/EXPERT] with X years experience. Answer [QUESTION] in [format], assume audience is [level]."

Example: "ROLE: Act as a senior UX researcher (10+ yrs). Suggest test plan in 5 bullets for a signup flow."

12) AIDA — Marketing copy using AIDA framework

Template: "AIDA: Create copy for [PRODUCT/OFFER]. Output: Attention (headline), Interest (2 lines), Desire (3 bullets), Action (CTA)."

Preview: short AIDA layout for a SaaS trial.

Quick modifiers (use after your request): "| concise", "| expand", "| 3-steps", "| email", "| twitter". Example: "DLTR: How to run a retro? | 3-steps | email"

Common patterns:

Rules: keep each chain step explicit, include context copy (or reference by "see previous" only if within same session), and limit each step's output length to avoid token overrun.

Goal: single-page PDF A4 (portrait) or 1080x1350 px image you convert to PDF. Use the image-generation prompt below to create a branded infographic version of this pack. Include: header, grid of 12 codes (icon + 1-line use), 3 short examples, and QR linking to your landing page.

Image generation prompt (copy-ready): "Create a clean, professional A4 infographic titled 'Prompt Shortcut Pack — 12 ChatGPT Codes'. Top header with short tagline: 'Copy one and paste — stop long prompts.' Grid: 12 equal tiles, each tile shows code (large), one-line template, tiny example. Use a modern sans-serif, blue/teal primary color, accent orange, light gray background, minimal icons for 'idea', 'speed', 'polish', 'code'. Add a footer bar with small text: 'Generated from provided prompt pack — not an original PDF.' Include a QR code placeholder at bottom-right (label: 'Scan for templates'). Deliver flat PNG, 300 DPI, alt text describing layout."

Export steps: generate PNG, open in Canva or Google Slides, set page to A4, place PNG full bleed, export to PDF. Or use the image as page in any PDF tool.

Three quick exercises to internalize the pack:

1) Convert a long email into three formats: EL10, PRO, DLTR. Score: clarity (0–5), readability (0–5), accuracy (0–5). Target score ≥12/15.

2) Chain PROMPT → CODEX: Optimize a data‑pull prompt then generate code to save CSV. Score: functional correctness (0–10) by running code, comments quality (0–5).

3) Marketing test: Use AIDA to write a trial CTA, then run CRITQ. Score creativity (0–5), conversion clarity (0–5).

How to self-grade: test outputs on real recipients (peers) when possible, prefer measurable outcomes (clicks, comprehension tests).

Keep this list as a sticky note:

EL10: Explain [TOPIC] like I'm 10.
