AI Prompts for Checking Your Work — 135 Copy-Paste Prompts to Fact-Check, Number-Check and Proof Anything | Printable + Digital Editions
AI assistants are fluent, fast — and perfectly willing to make up a fact to finish a sentence. That's fine for a first draft. It's dangerous for work that leaves your desk.
AI Prompts for Checking Your Work is a 135-prompt pack built on one method — the Accuracy-First Method — that forces any AI chat tool to check instead of guess:
1. The source is the truth — if it's not in what you pasted, the answer is "not stated," never a guess
2. Quote it or flag it — every checked claim is tied to a quoted line or figure
3. Recompute, never trust — totals and percentages are re-derived with the workings shown
4. Differences, not impressions — version comparisons come back as exact difference lists
5. Flag, don't fill — gaps and contradictions are reported, never smoothed over
Every prompt is copy-paste ready: a one-line purpose, the full prompt with [BRACKETS] where your material goes, and a note on what a good answer looks like — so you can tell at a glance whether the AI actually did the check.
WHAT'S INSIDE — 135 prompts in 6 groups:
- Document Checks (24) — the "Not Stated" sweep, contradiction hunts, summary-vs-body checks, date logic, placeholder sweeps
- Email Checks (22) — unanswered-question checks, commitment extraction, thread consistency, quote accuracy for prices
- Numbers & Spreadsheet Checks (24) — total re-adds, percentage rebuilds, crossfooting, duplicate rows, variance, reconciliation
- Report & Research Checks (24) — claim-to-citation mapping, cherry-pick detection, quote accuracy, percent vs. percentage points
- Version & Diff Checks (18) — full difference lists, silent-change hunts, commitment-strength diffs ("will" → "may"), clause-by-clause contract diffs
- Pre-Send Final Sweeps (23) — the 5-Rule Final Pass, embarrassment sweep, wrong-client detail check, approved-numbers freeze, send/no-send checklist builder

Honest limits, stated up front: these prompts make AI checking far more careful, but no AI check is a guarantee, and the pack is not legal, financial, or professional advice. The contract prompts flag changes for your review — they don't replace a lawyer's reading. There's also a built-in "Two-Pass Self-Check" prompt that makes the AI audit its own findings.
