ClaudeAI Custom Prompts

A community collection of effective custom system prompts for Claude — real configurations that practitioners use for specific workflows.

What it covers

This community thread aggregates custom system prompts that Claude users have found effective for specific use cases. Rather than theoretical prompting advice, it’s a practical exchange of configurations that people are actively using — covering areas like writing assistance, coding workflows, research tasks, and behavioral shaping (like reducing sycophancy, enforcing brevity, or maintaining a specific persona). Custom system prompts are one of the most underused tools for getting better results from Claude. This thread is a shortcut: instead of discovering effective patterns yourself, you can review what’s working for others and adapt it.
Read this when you want to improve Claude’s behavior for a specific workflow and would rather start from community-tested prompts than experiment from scratch.
