We’ve reached a strange point.
Everyone’s publishing AI prompts, with the idea of adding value to their articles.
At the same time the number one issue I keep seeing is - independently of the field - people having no idea of where to start. There’s such an overload of these prompts that, like in similar situations where there are too many choices, that - in the end -people end up using 1% of these prompts.
This is why experts looking to increase their authority, may find this as a unique opportunity to create value and build trust without writing more content, but rather by organizing the prompts that make their field usable.
1. The Problem and the Opportunity
Say you’re a Substack writer looking for better titles. Or you want to plan a month of LinkedIn posts, or someone looking for prompts that help you generate ideas for your next series of articles.
You open X or Reddit and instantly find hundreds of “best prompts.” But which ones actually help? Which belong together? Which will really save you time instead of wasting it? Hard to say.
You have to invest a lot of time, testing, trying, experimenting and seeing what works. You try one, save five, lose ten. Three months later you don’t even remember where you saved them, which ones worked or where you had found them.
When you have too much of something, and there’s yet no scaffolding for it, a key opportunity emerges: organizing it.
What we are missing are expert guides who organize prompts into actionable systems, for the specific problems their audiences have.
This is where the opportunity is.
2. Instantly Useful Actionable Systems
What may not be obvious, is that this is one more situation showing that you don’t really need to be a writer to build authority and trust.
By testing and organizing goal specific frameworks that actually work, you can build tangible value that proves your expertise by being immediately useful.
Imagine for example a trusted expert who says: “I’ve tested 50 AI prompts to write LinkedIn posts. These four consistently deliver strong ideas. Here’s when to use each, what to expect, and how to adapt them for your specific situation.”
Doing that single thing, filtering, testing, and organizing, creates 100 times more value than posting another useful prompt, disconnected from the rest.
3. What a Prompt Framework Is
A Prompt Framework is not a list of prompts that claim to achieve a specific goal.
A Prompt Framework is a small, organized set of prompts you can use right now to achieve one specific goal for one specific audience. It’s a ready-to-use immediately actionable, interactive toolkit with context.
A Prompt Framework is made up of a set of specific elements. These include:
Goal: what the prompt helps accomplish (“Write 5 LinkedIn posts,” “Find article titles,” “Summarize a research paper”).
.Tested Prompts: the few that work consistently.
.Context Notes: when to use them, what to tweak, what to avoid.
.Examples: real inputs → outputs so readers can see results.
.Care Signals: who curated it, when it was updated, what changed.
.
The value of a prompt framework is in the organization of otherwise fragmented info. It’s like transforming scattered ingredients into a well tested recipe.
4. Real-World Examples
Here are five real-world examples of “Prompt Frameworks”: interactive, actionable systems focused on a single professional domain, maintained by a visible expert, and built for practical application, not collection.
These prompt frameworks aren’t lists, they’re applied libraries that save time and build trust through actionable proof.
1) Nicolas Cole - Write With AI Prompt Library
(Digital Writing)
Focus: Prompts for writers/Substack creators to ideate, outline, edit, and repurpose.
Why it’s a framework (not a list): Organized by concrete writing goals with category cards you click into; multiple niche packs (e.g., fiction) sit under the same “writing” umbrella.
Proof: Public library landing page shows goal-based categories; additional focused packs like Fiction Writing With AI.
Takeaway: Keep one audience (writers) and map the workflow (ideas → outline → title → edit), showing a tested prompt + when to use it + a small example per step.
2) Peter Yang - Best AI Prompts for Product Managers
(PM Workflows)
Focus: Prompts battle-tested for product management tasks (e.g., research synthesis, PRDs, meeting prep, roadmap writing).
Why it’s a framework: One persona (PM) + a set of prompts tied to recurring PM jobs; he states they were tested for his day-to-day and explains the “why/when” behind them.
Proof: PM-specific post detailing nine “battle-tested” prompts. His separate “personal prompt library” announcement shows the broader creator context, but the PM piece is the tight, single-audience framework.
Takeaway: Pick a role (e.g., “content editor” or “newsletter producer”), then package 6–10 prompts around that role’s weekly jobs with a one-line “use when…” note and a tiny input/output example.
3) Ethan Mollick & Lilach Mollick - Prompt Library for Educators
(Teaching & Learning)
Focus: Prompts and structured “instructor aids/student exercises” designed for classroom use.
Why it’s a framework: Clearly segmented by teaching scenarios (preparation, exercises), with instructions to adapt and reuse, built for one audience (educators).
Proof: More Useful Things “Prompt Library” and educator-focused explainers that frame prompts as adaptable tools, not copy-paste tricks.
https://www.moreusefulthings.com/prompts
Takeaway: constrain by audience (e.g., “music teachers planning a 6-week unit”), and publish steps (plan → materials → assess) with 1–3 tested prompts per step + tweak tips.
4) Aleyda Solis - SEO Prompt Frameworks
(for SEOs and Digital Marketers)
Focus: Prompts and prompt-generators crafted specifically for SEO professionals and digital marketers, covering keyword research, content briefs, SERP analysis, and technical audits.
Why it’s a framework: Structured, role-based prompt sets around the recurring workflows of an SEO expert: From audit to research to content optimization to reporting. Includes parameterized templates that can be reused and refined.
Proof: Published on aleydasolis.com under her “AI for SEO” and “Prompt Generator” sections, plus shared through her public resources and workshops. Guide users through multi-step actions rather than one-off queries.
Takeaway: Focus your framework on a specific professional role and its daily jobs. For instance, if you serve consultants or analysts, map their weekly workflow (research + analyze + report) and provide tested, reusable prompts for each step.
5) James Presbitero - Active Prompt Vault
(for Writers and Marketers)
Focus: A living, curated prompt vault for writers, marketers, and content strategists, aimed at improving idea generation, structure, tone, and conversion.
Why it’s a framework: Prompts organized by creative stage: a) ideation, b) drafting, c) editing, d) publishing. Each prompt includes guidance on what kind of writing it enhances and how to adapt it for different formats (e.g., blog, email, social).
Proof: Published through his Write10x newsletter and private repository for subscribers. The vault combines tested writing prompts, performance notes, and brief demonstrations, making it a framework of use-cases, not just a repository.
Takeaway: Document how you test prompts, what results they produce, and keep refining. The credibility comes not from having 500 prompts, but from showing that each one has been used, evaluated, and improved over time.
5. How to Create Your Own Prompt Framework
Want to do it yourself? Here’s the steps I’d take:
Pick one recurring problem your readers face.
.Collect 10–15 prompts that claim to solve it.
.Test them yourself. Keep only the ones that deliver.
.Group them in 3–5 steps (Start → Improve → Polish).
.Add context notes, tips and examples.
.Publish or better yet create a custom app, GPT, skill or repo with them.
.Collaborate. Invite others to provide feedback, improvements, refinements and new additions. Credit those who do.
.
Helpful tools: Notion (for structure), Airtable (for filtering), CustomGPT or Claude Projects (for interactive versions), Tldraw/Miro (for visual maps).
6. From Informing to Empowering
Reading articles, guides, books allows you to inform yourself around a problem, a need or an objective you want to achieve.
Prompt Frameworks allow you to do those things. To act. To experiment. To see actual results now.
Prompt Frameworks bridge the gap between knowing and doing. They evolve, adapt, and compound value as tools change.
And in helping others act, those who search, vet and organize such frameworks naturally become reference points for them. People immediately trust those who make complex things usable for them.
It’s a visible form of Proof + Depth + Care, the very formula that builds trust. And because it’s updated and transparent, it signals reliability over time.
Prompt Frameworks are small, evolving toolsets that help people act, experiment and see results in a specific direction while helping experts gain credibility and points toward being perceived as a true trusted guides, without having to write more content.
“You gain authority by making others more capable.”
High-value content informs.
Prompt Frameworks empower.
