Prompt Library — The Force-Multiplier Playbook

Five reusable prompt patterns that cover the full research pipeline. Each is standalone — copy, paste, fill in the bracketed fields, and use.

The Prompts

#	Prompt	Use When
1	Literature Synthesis	Bootstrapping a new research area
2	Derivation with Reality Check	Deriving equations with built-in verification
3	Code Prototyping	Turning ideas into working, tested scripts
4	Section Drafting	Producing first drafts with reviewer defense
5	Verification Audit	Catching errors before anyone else sees them

How to Use

1. Copy the prompt into your LLM conversation.
2. Replace [BRACKETED FIELDS] with your specific content.
3. Iterate. The first output is never final. Review, redirect, and re-run 3-5 times per section.
4. Verify. Every quantitative claim must be reproducible. Every derivation must pass a reality check. Every draft must survive a verification audit.
