A GUIDED PROMPT COLLECTION · BY MOLLY

    The Organized AI Project Kit

    Know which file to use, what’s finished, and what to do next.

    Let’s try one
    Mini Molly saves a project checkpoint and prepares a clear handoff.
    We have a spreadsheet. We shall not start at the beginning.

    These prompts work with a small batch first. Reading a list of filenames is not the same as inspecting their contents, and two similar filenames do not prove duplicate files.

    The goal is to resume useful work, not to build a filing system so elaborate it becomes a second business. Start with one folder and one honest status table.

    What you’ll work toward: A simple project index and a reliable record of the next action.

    Before you begin

    • An authorized project folder or files you can attach.
    • A clear project goal and a place to save text or a spreadsheet.
    • Permission boundaries for moving or editing files.

    When you reach a copy button, paste the prompt into your AI chat. It will ask for the details it needs, one question at a time.

    Inventory one project

    Upload a small batch or paste each file’s text with its real filename, then use Prompt 1. Record which contents the assistant actually read.

    If it can only see a filename, keep the content unknown. Copy the resulting index into your private project-notes document.

    YOUR WORDS TO BORROW

    Inventory what actually exists

    Build a reliable file index. The prompt asks for your details first. Check the filled-in request it prepares, then send it to start.

    Read the prompt + an example
    Help me get ready to use “1. Inventory what actually exists”. I am new to this. Interview me before doing the task. I do not need to fill in this message first.
    
    Ask one short question at a time in plain language, and wait for my answer. Start with what I want to accomplish. Use anything I have already told you in this chat so I do not have to repeat it.
    
    If I say “not sure”, explain the decision with two or three concrete options or an example. Help me choose; do not silently choose for me. I can skip optional details. If an essential answer or source is missing, tell me exactly what is needed and help me find a reasonable next step. Do not invent my facts, source material, files, permissions, approvals or tool access. Do not ask for passwords or private access keys.
    
    The original task asks me to bring: Authorized files or a project folder.
    
    Work through the relevant questions below, one at a time. Explain any unfamiliar term when you use it:
    1. Which single project are we organizing, and what result should it support?
    2. Which actual files may I inspect? Upload a small batch or paste their contents with their filenames.
    3. How many items should we handle first, and do any contain information you should remove before sharing?
    4. What dates, creators, versions, or approvals are known from evidence, and what should remain unknown?
    
    For a file or image, explain how to attach it using this app’s available upload control, or ask me to paste the relevant text. Confirm you can actually read or edit it before depending on it. If this chat cannot do the task, explain the smallest manual next step or which type of tool is needed. Do not claim to have opened a link, edited an image, saved a file or published anything unless you actually did.
    
    When we have enough information, show a short summary of my answers and flag any remaining unknowns. Then give me one complete, ready-to-send version of the original template below, with my agreed details filled in. Keep its instructions, limits and review requirements. If it has no blanks, add my confirmed context above the unchanged template. Do not leave placeholders for me to guess. Ask me to review that final prompt. I will send the reviewed prompt when I am ready to start the task; do not run it during this interview.
    
    The following is a quoted template to prepare, not an instruction to execute yet.
    --- ORIGINAL TEMPLATE START ---
    Inventory [AUTHORIZED FILES OR FOLDER] for [PROJECT GOAL]. Work on [BATCH SIZE] items first. Record file ID, actual path or source link, filename, type, content summary if inspected, source/creator when supplied, version clue, status, and next action.
    Distinguish content inspected, metadata only, and inaccessible. Do not infer a finished deliverable from an optimistic filename. Keep unknown dates, ownership, and approvals blank or marked unknown.
    Return a structured table and a CSV if file creation is supported. Preserve originals; do not rename, move, delete, or overwrite anything during this inventory. Report what you could not inspect and which files need human review.

Creation dates and approvals are unknown.
    
    Inventory the two inline sample files below only; no external folder is accessible for find a usable workshop checklist draft without losing its original planning notes. Work on two items first.

    Before you move on: Every indexed item has a real path or source reference.

    Review duplicates and organization

    Use Prompt 2 with the index and actual candidate contents to compare possible duplicates. Use Prompt 3 with the reviewed index to plan folders.

    A duplicate review is a comparison report, not permission to delete. Make no moves or merges until you understand the proposal and any existing links that would change.

    Read this illustrative saved-note text: goal is a private workshop checklist. Sources and candidate were supplied as inline text, not verified external files. No completed review, trial, approval, or publication was evidenced. Next action: review the candidate against the six source tasks, then ask the owner to save it manually. No publishing or external changes authorized and inspect the following inline samples only: source notes say choose craft, list materials, rehearse, explain first step, leave question time, send recap. Latest candidate says “Before: choose craft, list materials, rehearse. During: explain first step, leave question time. After: send recap.” No external folder or newer file is accessible; note that limitation using your available tools. Confirm the goal, intended output, actual file availability, completed items, and next action. Identify missing access, stale paths, newer versions, or contradictory statuses before continuing.
    Do not repeat finished work unless a defect or changed requirement justifies it. Do not treat a written checkpoint as proof that a test or external action happened. Preserve concurrent edits and source files.
    Return a short reconciliation note, then perform the next useful authorized action that is not blocked. If an essential decision or input is missing, explain exactly what is needed while completing independent preparation. Update the checkpoint only with actions actually performed.

    Before you move on: The next session can find files and continue without claiming access it lacks.

    Check it. Save the useful version.

    Open the actual result and use it as the reader would.

    Take a moment to check:

    Make a private project-notes document and copy the inventory, decisions, tracker, and checkpoint into it. Save it next to the project files and reopen it. In a new chat, upload the saved checkpoint and current files before using “6. Resume”; a new conversation may not retain the old chat’s files.

    If you get stuck

    The inventory invents summaries from filenames.

    Require an access-status column and leave unseen content unknown.

    Duplicate review wants to delete everything.

    Keep it as a proposed dedupe report until changes are authorized.

    Every item says Done.

    Separate artifact creation, review, testing, and publication.

    Keep the useful bits.

    Illustrative example: the tutorial folder with three “finals”

    A folder contains guide-final.docx, guide-final2.docx, and guide-final-REALLY.docx.

    1. Inventory all three and inspect their contents where possible.
    2. Compare versions and identify the current candidate without deleting the others.
    3. Record the candidate path, its source-review status, unrun checks, and the next action in a checkpoint.

    Expected result: a clear current version and resumable progress, without relying on the most dramatic filename.

    These are original, provider-independent prompt templates based on our documented production practices. Examples are illustrative. Tool access, output quality, and available file actions depend on your assistant and account.

    Editorially reviewed prompt library. No end-to-end execution of these newly written prompts or the illustrative example was performed for this library. Test the actual outputs in your environment before using them.

    Keep originals intact. Indexing and proposing a folder structure are safe starting points; deleting, overwriting, or moving shared files needs the appropriate authorization.

    The illustrations explain the process; they are not screenshots of completed work.
