Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Plan a weekend DIY project. The project: [PROJECT]. Measurements and photos described in words: [MEASUREMENTS]. Tools I own: [TOOLS_OWNED]. Budget: [BUDGET]. Create a plan with a Saturday and a Sunday schedule, including preparation, work, drying or curing times, and clean-up. Produce a materials list with quantities calculated from my measurements, including a waste allowance that I confirm, and a tools list marking which to borrow or rent. Add a step-by-step method of ten steps in plain language with the common mistakes at each step. Provide a safety checklist (eye and hearing protection, ventilation, dust). Include a plan B if the job overruns, and a cost table with placeholders for prices to check at local shops [VERIFY]. Mark product instructions to read from the manufacturer. Add a short Friday-evening preparation checklist so I can start on Saturday morning without a trip to the shop, and a stop-and-reassess rule at the halfway point of each day. Include notes on how to dispose of leftover materials and packaging according to local rules. Treat product specifications and quantities as approximate, mark them [VERIFY], and remind me to read manufacturer instructions before use.
