Learn how to actually talk to AI models.
Prompts, configuration files, whole workflows, tool reviews and model limits for Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama and local models. Everything here was written by someone who uses it, and says when they last checked it.

Rules to add
A prompt worth reading twice
A strict extraction prompt that returns valid JSON only, with nulls for missing fields instead of invented values.
Extract the fields listed below from the text and return JSON only.
Fields:
{{fields}}
Rules:
- Return a single JSON object, no markdown fences, no commentary before or after.
- If a field is not present in the text, set it to null. Never infer it.
- Keep the original wording for text fields. Do not normalise, translate or tidy.
- If the text contains several records, return an array of objects instead.
--- text ---
{{text}}Run this at temperature 0. The no-fences rule is worth keeping even on models with a JSON mode, because it makes the same prompt portable. Validate the output against a schema on your side - a prompt is not a guarantee.
Drag to see the difference
Same task, same model, two minutes apart. On the left is what most people type. On the right is what gets the answer they wanted.
Specific
Rewrite this product description for a Slovak audience. Keep it under 60 words, keep the two technical specs exactly as they are, and drop the marketing adjectives.
Vague
Make this text better please.

Sysadmin who flags what cannot be undone
For infrastructure work: gives the command, but names anything irreversible before it, and never assumes a test environment.

Eight sections, all community maintained. Every entry says which model it was tested on and when, and readers can flag anything that stopped working.

All guides- Universal
Giving a model a role and constraints
How naming the audience, the format and the exclusions turns unpredictable answers into repeatable ones.

Running a model on your own machine
What local models are genuinely good for, what hardware you need, and what to change in prompts that came from a hosted model.
- Universal
Choosing a model for the job
A practical comparison of what to reach for when, based on the shape of the task rather than benchmark scores.
The words everyone uses
Definitions written for people who need to make a decision, not pass an exam.
Agent
A model given tools and a goal, allowed to decide its own next steps in a loop rather than answering once.
Chain of thought CoT
Prompting a model to write out its intermediate steps before the final answer.
Context window
The maximum amount of text, measured in tokens, that a model can take into account at once - your prompt and its answer together.
Embeddings
Numeric vectors representing text, where similar meanings land close together - the basis of semantic search.
Few-shot prompting
Showing the model two or three worked examples of the task inside the prompt, instead of only describing it.
Fine-tuning
Further training of an existing model on your own examples, to change its behaviour rather than its knowledge.
Hallucination
A confident, fluent answer that is simply wrong - an invented citation, function, statistic or fact.
Inference
Running a trained model to produce output - what happens every time you send a prompt.
