Copy-paste AI prompts

Copy-paste prompt

You're helping me draft award bullets from my own notes.
Rules:
- Use ONLY the facts in my notes. Don't add numbers, results or scope that aren't there.
- If a bullet needs a result I didn't give, write [NEED RESULT].
- Keep placeholders like [NAME], [UNIT] and [NUMBER] exactly as written.
- Format: action verb, what was done, then the impact.
- About 20 words per bullet. No acronyms unless they're in my notes.
- Give me 3 versions of each: plain, punchy and formal.
Then list any vague claims and one question I should answer to make each one stronger.

NOTES:
[paste your scrubbed notes]

Strip first: swap names, units and locations for [NAME], [UNIT] and [LOCATION]. Never paste an SSN, DoD ID, operational details or CUI.

Copy-paste prompt

You're helping me draft military evaluation wording from my own notes. Format: [EPB performance statements / NCOER bullets / FITREP comments].
Rules:
- Use ONLY the facts in my notes. Never add numbers, results, awards or scope that aren't there.
- If a line needs a result I didn't give, write [NEED RESULT].
- Keep placeholders like [NAME] and [UNIT] exactly as written.
- Past tense. Start with the action, then the result.
- Everyday language. No acronyms unless they're in my notes.
- Give me 2 versions of each line.

NOTES:
[paste your scrubbed notes]

Strip first: notes only, never the eval itself. Swap names, units and locations for placeholders, and leave out IDs, mission names, readiness numbers, and medical, family or disciplinary details.

Copy-paste prompt

Here are the formatting rules for this block, copied from my service's current instruction or form:
[paste the rules or a blank template, no names or unit info]

Rewrite the lines above to fit these rules exactly. Count characters or lines if there's a limit. If something has to be cut to fit, tell me what you cut.

Strip first: public rules or a blank template only, with no names, units or locations. If the AI and the instruction disagree, the instruction is right.

Copy-paste prompt

I'm transitioning from the military to a civilian job. Translate the experience below into civilian resume language.
Rules:
- Use ONLY what's in my text. Don't add skills, tools, numbers or results I didn't mention.
- Replace military terms and acronyms with civilian equivalents. If you're not sure what a term means, ask me.
- Write 3-5 bullets: action verb, what I did, the result if I gave one.
- Write [ADD NUMBER?] instead of inventing a number.
- Keep placeholders like [UNIT] and [LOCATION] as written.
- After the bullets, list each military term you translated and what you translated it to.

MY EXPERIENCE:
[paste scrubbed text from your evals, VMET or notes]

Strip first: don't paste whole documents; your VMET carries Privacy Act data. Remove your SSN, DoD ID, date of birth, address and other people's names, and swap units and locations for [UNIT] and [LOCATION].

Copy-paste prompt

Below is a list of tasks from my job, with rough hours per week.
Don't guess my job title, unit or location, and don't add tasks.
Sort each task into one of three groups:
A) AI could draft this and I'd check it
B) AI could help with part of it
C) Mostly needs a person (judgment, relationships, hands-on work, or being accountable for the result)
Give a one-line reason for each. Then list the tasks you're least sure about, and why. This is a rough sort, not a prediction, so don't present it as one.

TASKS:
[general task] - [hours/week]
[general task] - [hours/week]

Strip first: describe tasks in general terms. No names, units, locations, system names, or anything about capabilities or readiness.

Copy-paste prompt

Here's a job posting and my current resume bullets.
1. List the 8-10 skills and keywords the posting cares about most.
2. For each one, show which of my bullets supports it, or say "not supported" if none do. Don't stretch.
3. Rewrite my bullets to use the posting's language where it's honestly accurate.
4. Suggest the 6-8 strongest bullets for this job, in order.

JOB POSTING:
[paste]

MY BULLETS:
[paste]

Strip first: the posting is public. Your bullets should already have names, units and locations swapped for placeholders.

Copy-paste prompt

Here are my resume bullets. For each one, ask me two questions:
1. Is every word of this true, including the numbers?
2. Could I explain it for two minutes in an interview, with an example?
Ask one bullet at a time and wait for my answers. If I say no to either, help me rewrite the bullet so it's true and something I can explain. Don't add anything I didn't say.

MY BULLETS:
[paste your scrubbed bullets]

Strip first: bullets only, with names, units and locations already swapped for placeholders. No SSN, DoD ID or anything that isn't public.

Copy-paste prompt

Here's a job posting. List the 10 interview questions I'm most likely to get for this role, based only on what the posting asks for. For each one, say in one line what the interviewer is probably trying to find out. Don't invent details about the company that aren't in the posting.

JOB POSTING:
[paste]

Strip first: the posting is public. Don't add your name, unit, location or other personal details to this one.

Copy-paste prompt

Help me answer this interview question: [question].
Here's a true example from my experience, in my own words:
[your scrubbed example]
Rewrite it as a spoken answer under 90 seconds: the situation, what I did, and the result. Use everyday civilian language. Use ONLY my facts. If the result is missing, write [NEED RESULT].
Keep placeholders like [UNIT] and [LOCATION] as written.
Then list any military terms a civilian interviewer might not know, and how I could say each one instead.

Strip first: swap names, units and locations for placeholders, and keep anything operational at the level that's already public. Held a clearance and not sure where the line is? Ask your security manager first.

Copy-paste prompt

Act as an interviewer for a [job title] role at a [type of company]. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer.
After each answer, give me one thing that worked and one thing to tighten. Ask 6 questions total, then give me a short summary of my strongest and weakest answers. Don't make up facts about my background.

Strip first: answer with placeholders for names, units and locations. No SSN, medical or family details, and nothing classified.

Copy-paste prompt

Write a short thank-you email after a job interview, using only these facts.
Role: [job title]
Interviewer: [their role, not their name]
One thing we talked about: [topic]
One reason I'm a fit: [a true point from my resume]
Under 120 words, friendly and direct. Keep [NAME] as written.
Don't add facts or promises I didn't give you. Give me a subject line too.

Strip first: use [NAME] for the interviewer and leave out your phone, address and any unit or location details. Put the real name back yourself.

Copy-paste prompt

Below is a section of 38 CFR Part 4, the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities, copied from eCFR.
Explain it in simple terms for someone with no legal background.
Rules:
- Quote the exact words you're explaining before each explanation.
- Define any medical or legal term the first time it appears.
- Don't estimate what rating anyone would get.
- Don't suggest how to word a claim.
- If something is unclear, say so instead of guessing.
- End by telling me to check with an accredited VSO before I act on anything.

SECTION TEXT:
[paste the section from ecfr.gov]

Strip first: regulation text only, nothing from your own records, and no names or locations. If the explanation doesn't match the quoted words, trust the regulation, and check with an accredited VSO.

Copy-paste prompt

Here are the rating criteria for one diagnostic code in 38 CFR Part 4. Make a table: term, everyday meaning.
Cover every medical or legal term. Don't add criteria, don't apply it to any person, and don't estimate a rating.

CRITERIA TEXT:
[paste the diagnostic code and its criteria from ecfr.gov]

Strip first: paste the code and criteria, never your diagnosis, exam notes or name. Check with an accredited VSO about how it applies to you.

Copy-paste prompt

Explain the method in 38 CFR 4.25 (combined ratings table) step by step, using the regulation's own example of a 50 percent and a 30 percent disability.
Show the "efficiency" math, then the rounding rule.
Use only the text I paste. Don't apply it to my ratings.

TEXT OF 4.25:
[paste 4.25 from ecfr.gov]

Strip first: use the regulation's example (50% and 30% combine to 65%, which rounds to 70%), never your own ratings or file details. Check with an accredited VSO about your own case.

Copy-paste prompt

I'm reading this section of 38 CFR Part 4 and I'm going to meet a VA-accredited representative. List 5 to 8 neutral questions I could ask about what this section means and how VA applies it. Questions only. No answers, no advice, and nothing about my own medical history.

SECTION TEXT:
[paste the section]

Strip first: regulation text only. Your own history goes to the accredited VSO in person, not to the chatbot.

Copy-paste prompt

Below is a trade school's public cost sheet and the text of a VA.gov page about how the GI Bill pays for non-college degree programs. Make a table: cost item, amount, "VA.gov text says this is covered / not covered / doesn't say". Quote the VA.gov line for each call. If the VA.gov text doesn't address an item, write "doesn't say, ask the school certifying official".
Don't guess.

COST SHEET:
[paste]
VA.GOV TEXT:
[paste]

Strip first: public text only. No name, SSN, VA file number, DD-214, Certificate of Eligibility, date of birth, address or bank details.

Copy-paste prompt

Using the "doesn't say" items from the table above, write 6 to 10 short, neutral questions for a school's VA certifying official. Questions only. Don't make assumptions about my eligibility.

Strip first: nothing new goes in. Your name and eligibility details go to the certifying official, not the chatbot.

Copy-paste prompt

I'm training for [trade]. From the VA.gov text below on licensing and certification tests, list what VA says it reimburses, what it says it won't pay for, and the form it names. Then list the tests I should look up in VA's licensing and certification search tool. Use only the pasted text.

VA.GOV TEXT:
[paste VA.gov's licensing and certification tests page]

Strip first: public text only, with no name, SSN or file numbers. One gap to watch for: VA's page says it won't pay for getting the actual license or certification document.

Copy-paste prompt

Here are two programs' public details, copied from the GI Bill Comparison Tool and each school's site. Make one comparison table: program length, clock hours per week, tuition, fees, tools or kit, licensing test costs, approval status shown.
Mark anything missing as "not listed". Don't recommend one.

PROGRAM A:
[paste]
PROGRAM B:
[paste]

Strip first: public text only. No personal or benefit details, and no name or home location.

Strip first: swap names, units and locations for placeholders. No account numbers or anything marked CUI.

Copy-paste prompt

Help me reply to the email below. I want to [say no / push back on the deadline / apologize without admitting fault].
My position, in my own words: [what you actually want to say]
Relationship: [e.g. "my supervisor's supervisor"]
Write it calm, direct and respectful. No groveling, no jargon.
Offer one concrete next step. Keep it under 120 words.

THEIR EMAIL:
[paste the email with names and private details removed]

Strip first: strip names, signature blocks, units, locations, phone numbers and anything marked CUI from their email before you paste it.

Copy-paste prompt

[paste the blank template or format rules, no names or unit info]
Keep placeholders like [NAME], [UNIT] and [DATE] as written.
Don't add facts, references or dates I didn't give you. If the format needs something I didn't provide, write [NEED DETAIL].

Strip first: blank template plus scrubbed points only, with names, units and locations swapped for placeholders. No CUI, no PII, nothing classified.

Copy-paste prompt

Using ONLY the notes below, list: DECISIONS (max 5), ACTION ITEMS as a table (Task | Owner | Due date), and OPEN QUESTIONS.
Keep placeholders like [NAME], [UNIT] and [DATE] exactly as written. If an owner or date isn't in the notes, write UNASSIGNED or NO DATE. Do not guess.

NOTES:
[paste scrubbed, unclassified notes]

Strip first: strip names, unit, locations, schedules and anything marked CUI first.

Copy-paste prompt

The text below uses placeholders like [NAME], [UNIT], [LOCATION], [DATE], [NUMBER] and [SYSTEM]. Rules:
- Keep every placeholder exactly as written. Don't replace, guess or invent names, places, dates or numbers.
- Don't ask me what the placeholders stand for.
- If the task needs a detail I left out, write [NEED DETAIL].

Task: [what you want, e.g. "make this clearer and shorter"]

TEXT:
[paste your scrubbed text]

Strip first: swap every name, unit and location before you paste, and keep the placeholder key on paper, never in the chat. Put the real details back yourself, outside the AI tool.

Copy-paste prompt

Review the text below for anything that could still identify a person, unit, place, date, schedule, capability or weakness.
List each item you find and suggest a placeholder for it.
Don't rewrite the text. Don't guess at what any placeholder stands for. Don't tell me the text is "safe" or "cleared."

TEXT:
[paste your scrubbed text]

Strip first: only use this on text where you've already swapped names, units and locations. If it flags nothing, that's not a clearance. It's a chatbot.

Copy-paste prompt

Below is a message I received, with my personal details removed.
List any scam red flags you see, such as urgency, secrecy, pressure to pay by wire transfer, crypto or gift cards, or a request for a code or login. Then tell me how I could verify it independently, using a phone number or website I look up myself.
Don't tell me it's safe. You can't know that.

MESSAGE:
[paste the message text]

Strip first: swap your name and any family names or locations for placeholders, and remove phone numbers, emails, account numbers and codes. Don't click the links. Already paid? Call your bank or the payment company, then report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and ic3.gov.

Copy-paste prompt

Below is an ad or message offering help with a VA disability claim, plus text I copied from VA.gov about accredited representatives and fees. Compare the offer to the VA.gov text.
List anything in the offer that doesn't match what VA.gov says, and quote the VA.gov line each time. Don't give claims advice, and don't tell me whether to hire them.

OFFER:
[paste the ad or message, with your details removed]
VA.GOV TEXT:
[paste VA's accredited representative FAQ]

Strip first: no name, medical details, VA file or claim numbers, or SSN. VA says an accredited VSO representative's help is always free, and accredited attorneys and claims agents can charge only after VA decides your initial claim. Check anyone in VA's accredited representative search, and check with an accredited VSO.

Copy-paste message

Hey all, quick favor. Scammers can now copy someone's voice with AI and call pretending to be family in an emergency. Can we pick a family code word next time we're together? If anyone ever calls asking for money urgently, we ask for the word first.
Don't reply with ideas here, let's do it in person.

Strip first: never send the code word itself, and don't mention names of units or where you're stationed or deployed.
