Prompt library

Prompts that work well, grouped by job, with the tools the assistant usually calls for each. Copy one, put your own site and numbers in, and read what it proposes before you let it write.

How to ask

The assistant chooses tools from what you write. A few habits make the result predictable:

  • Say what may change. “Don’t change anything yet”, “as a draft” and “after I approve” keep the first pass read-only.
  • Name the site when more than one is connected. Each site is its own MCP server, so the name you gave it is how the assistant tells them apart. See Multiple sites.
  • Ask for a backup before bulk edits. A full backup is taken only when wp_backup_create is called; edits otherwise keep only a WordPress revision of each post, or the previous copy of each file.
  • Use IDs and limits. “Post 482” or “the 20 most recent posts” is faster and cheaper than “my posts”.
  • Ask for the plan first on anything that touches many items, then say “go”.

A prompt can only do what the token allows. If a tool answers with a scope error, the token is missing a scope, not the assistant. See Token scopes.
