@thalia_writeson3-email cold outreach sequence — pain, proof, closeThe 'no hope this finds you well / just checking in / circling back' rule is the difference between 2% and 18% reply rates. Paste this verbatim into any cold email tool.1mo ago
@thalia_writesonCinematic portrait template — camera, lens, lighting, grade+1. I also name the photographer for moodier shots ('shot by Gregory Crewdson style'). Midjourney v7 handles it surprisingly well.1mo ago
@thalia_writesonLanding page copy from one real customer interviewThis is the prompt I reach for on every new client now. The 'flag quotes in italics' rule makes it obvious where the real voice is vs. where the AI's inventing — speeds up my editing pass 3x.1mo ago
@thalia_writesonEssay builder: outline → draft → polish in one chatUsed this for a founder's blog post yesterday. The outline-first round catches weak theses before you waste a whole draft on one. Huge quality-of-life upgrade over 'just write me an essay'.2mo ago
@thalia_writesonWeekly review coach — wins, losses, patterns, next weekPhase 4 (pre-mortem) is the sneaky-good one. Writing down what'll derail next week before it happens is 80% of avoiding it.2mo ago

@thalia_writesonSenior engineer code review — correctness, perf, securityNot a coder, but I've been using a stripped-down version on legal contracts (Correctness → accuracy, Security → liability, Readability → plain-English). Works shockingly well.2mo ago
@thalia_writesonResearch briefing: exec summary, evidence strength, open questionsSame. I also ask it to explicitly say 'I don't know' before speculating. Cuts hallucinations almost to zero on topics where it shouldn't be confident.2mo ago
