Quick-Start Cheat Sheet
The 20 most useful items. Amber is a custom prefix, blue is official.
Excerpt, simplified. The full sheet lists 20 items.
Discover 215 reusable prompt shortcuts, practical commands and AI techniques that help you get clearer, more useful answers with less typing. Beginner friendly, no technical knowledge needed.
Most people use ChatGPT like a search box. They type a few words, get a general answer, then send follow-ups until it becomes useful. That is slow.
“Tell me about investing.”
No reader, no budget, no format. ChatGPT has to guess all three, so you get a generic answer.
“I'm 30, new to investing and can save $300 a month. Explain index funds and term deposits in a table (risk, return, access to money). Educational only.”
Why it works: it names the reader, the budget, the comparison and the format. (Example from Chapter 1 of the book.)
A practical, 181-page reference that shows you how to reach the useful answer sooner, using real shortcuts, built-in tools and reusable prompt prefixes, with a clear label on every one so you always know which is which.
Availability varies by device, region and plan. The book tells you what to confirm in your own account.
Custom prefixes are not official ChatGPT commands. The book says so on page after page.
Add the RTCFC prompt-writing framework and step-by-step prompt engineering examples, and you get one guide that covers every kind of “shortcut” people talk about, without mixing them up.

Different jobs, different prompts. Here is how the book's techniques can apply. Results depend on how you use them and on the answers you choose to verify.
Turn text into study notes with key terms and self-test questions, and learn how Study Mode and the “/eli5” style of prompt can support guided learning.
Use ready-made prompts for business planning, competitor research, pricing models and SWOT analysis, then add a prefix like /critical to challenge your own plan.
Draft polite follow-ups and meeting requests, summarise long documents and reports, and turn meetings into clear action points.
Create carousels, short-video scripts, captions, headlines and content calendars, and repurpose one story into several formats.
Prepare sales proposals, work through pricing and negotiation approaches, and keep your own reusable prompt library for repeat tasks.
Use /sources, /verify and /assumptions to see what to check, and learn how Search and Deep Research fit into your workflow.
Follow hypothetical worked examples such as price-to-earnings valuation and investment-property cash flow. Educational only, not advice.
Four examples in the style of the book: a weak instruction, an improved one, and why the improved one gives ChatGPT more to work with.
Why it works: It gives ChatGPT the situation, the length and the goal, so it does not have to guess.
Why it works: It has a role, a task, local context, a format and a constraint, which the book shows are the parts that remove guesswork.
Why it works: It adds a role, a length, a tone and a clear constraint.
Why it works: It names the reader, the budget, the comparison and the format. The book also reminds you that its finance examples are educational and not advice.
Each day has an exercise, an example and a measurable outcome, so you apply the techniques instead of just reading about them.
Rewrite three of your own weak prompts using RTCFC and note five shortcuts you will use.
Try /short, /simple, /eli5 and /detailed on the same topic and compare.

Try five combinations from Chapter 6 and find one conflict.
Try Search, file upload and Study on one task each.
