AI Prompt Compendium : AI Foundations
# AI Prompt Compendium — AI Foundations
### The Complete Fifty: APC-AIF-001 → APC-AIF-050
### Fifty Prompts. One Method.
Most people ask AI for an answer. This compendium teaches a sequence instead: Define → Contextualise → Instruct → Control → Evaluate → Improve → Reuse. Fifty prompts, organised in five sections that follow that same arc — from getting a good answer to one question, to establishing how AI operates across everything you do.
Every entry follows the same eight-field format: Purpose, Variables, Master Prompt, How To Use, Expected Output, Power-Ups, Follow-Up Prompts, and a Watch For note naming the specific way that exact prompt tends to fail — not a generic disclaimer.

## What's inside
Section 1 — Working With AI (10 prompts). Getting a good answer to one question: role-setting, context-building, output control, iterative improvement.
Section 2 — Thinking With AI (10 prompts). Checking, deciding, and not fooling yourself: separating claims from assertions, tracing what a claim actually rests on, decision framing, assumption mapping.
Section 3 — Building With AI (10 prompts). Workflows and multi-step work: task decomposition, prompt chaining, debugging a prompt that isn't working, optimising one that already does.
Section 4 — Engineering Prompts (10 prompts). Making prompts reliable, testable, and reusable: templates, variable design, stress-testing for edge cases, building in graceful failure.
Section 5 — Operating Systems (10 prompts). How AI works with you across everything: context management, standing operating prompts, escalation rules, and the capstone L5 prompt for setting principles that generalise rather than rules for every case.
## Who this is for
Anyone who wants to get real, repeatable value from AI — not just a list of clever one-liners, but a structured method you can actually build on.
