1. Challenge my thinking

Here’s what I’m planning:
[insert your idea, plan, or strategy]

Act as a critical thinker. Question my assumptions, logic, or blind spots — but don’t rewrite anything. I want to stress test my own thinking, not get new ideas.

2. Reframe through a different lens

Here’s the core idea I’m working with:
[insert your idea]

Help me reframe it through a different lens — like a new audience POV, emotional trigger, or brand positioning angle.

3. Translate my gut feeling

Something about this feels off, but I can’t explain why:
[describe the situation, message, or tactic]

Help me put words to the tension I’m sensing. What might be misaligned or unclear?

4. Structure my messy thinking

Here’s a braindump of what I’m thinking:
[insert notes, fragments, half-formed ideas]

Organize this into a clear structure or outline — but don’t change the voice or inject new ideas.

5. Help me face the decision

Here’s the context I’m working with:
[insert project/situation]

What decision am I avoiding or overcomplicating? Reflect back where I’m hesitating or dragging things out.

6. Surface the deeper question

Here’s the situation I’m thinking through:
[insert idea or challenge]

Help me surface the real strategic question underneath this. What should I actually be asking myself?

7. Spot execution risks

This is the strategy I’m planning to roll out:
[insert plan or outline]

Walk me through how this could go wrong in real-world execution. Think about resourcing, timing, team alignment, dependencies, etc.

8. Reverse-engineer my gut instinct

Here’s what I’m thinking, and it feels right to me:
[insert your idea or insight]

Can you help me unpack why this might be a smart move — even if I can’t fully explain it yet?
