The prompt that worked once is worth saving
Everyone rewrites the same instructions from scratch every week because the good version got lost in a chat that's now three days old.
Why it happens
Good prompts are rare and specific, but chat history isn't searchable the way a real document is, so the work quietly disappears.
What to do
Keep a running document of prompts that actually delivered, tagged by what they're for.
Start a doc titled "Prompts that worked" and add to it weekly.
