What is a short prompt and why does it work?

Most of the time you don't need to write a long prompt; one precise sentence with a role, an output and a constraint is enough. This collection has those sentences ready: each card has a ready prompt and an English version (image and video models are more accurate in English), you fill in the blanks right here, copy it, or open it in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity with one button. Favorites are saved in your browser.
