How to Create and Submit Your Own Prompt

Why Create a Prompt?

You probably have a handful of things you ask your AI to do on a regular basis. Maybe you always ask it to plan your meals. Maybe you have a go-to request for brainstorming blog ideas, or a way you like it to help your kid with homework.

Those repeated patterns? They are prompts worth sharing. When you create and submit a prompt on a-gnt, you are packaging your knowledge into something other people can use with a single copy-and-paste. It is like writing a recipe for something you have been making by heart.

What Makes a Good Prompt?

Before you jump into the submission form, let's talk about what separates a useful prompt from one that collects dust.

It solves a specific problem. "Help me with work" is not a prompt. "Draft a professional but friendly out-of-office email that mentions when I'll be back and who to contact in the meantime" is a prompt. The more specific the problem, the more useful the prompt.

It includes context and instructions. Do not make the user fill in all the blanks. A great prompt tells the AI what role to play, what format to use, what to include, and what to avoid.

It works on the first try. Test your prompt before submitting. Copy it into your AI, use it, and see if the output is what you intended. If you need to follow up with corrections every time, the prompt needs more detail.

Here is a simple template to start with:

You are a [role]. The user needs help with [specific task].
Ask them for [any information you need].
Respond in [format — bullets, paragraphs, a table, etc.].
Keep the tone [casual/professional/encouraging/etc.].
Include [specific elements they should expect].
Avoid [things that would make the output less useful].

Building Your Prompt Step by Step

Let's create one together. Say you want to make a prompt that helps people write better LinkedIn posts.

Step 1: Define the role.
"You are a LinkedIn content strategist who helps professionals write engaging posts."

Step 2: Set the task.
"The user will give you a topic or idea. Turn it into a LinkedIn post that is 150-200 words."

Step 3: Add style guidance.
"Use a conversational tone. Start with a hook — a question, a bold statement, or a short story. End with a clear call to action or a question for the reader."

Step 4: Add guardrails.
"Avoid corporate buzzwords like 'synergy,' 'leverage,' and 'thought leader.' Do not use more than 3 hashtags. Never use emojis in the opening line."

Step 5: Test it. Paste the whole thing into your AI and try a few topics. Tweak until the output consistently feels right.

Submitting to a-gnt

Ready to share? Head to the submit page. Here is what you will fill in:

• Name: A clear, descriptive title. "LinkedIn Post Writer" is better than "My Cool Prompt."
• Description: One to two sentences explaining what it does and who it is for. This is what people see when browsing, so make it count.
• Type: Select "Prompt" from the options.
• The prompt text: Your full prompt, ready to copy and paste.
• Tags: Keywords that help people find it. Think about the topic (writing, business, social media) and the audience (professionals, beginners, students).

Hit submit, and your prompt enters the review queue. Once it is approved, it appears in the prompts collection where anyone can find, copy, and use it.

After You Submit

Once your prompt is live, a few things happen:

• People can save it to their library for quick access
• People can add it to a bench alongside other tools
• People can rate and review it, which helps surface the best prompts
• You get credit as the creator, and people can follow you for future work

Ideas for Prompts to Create

Not sure what to make? Here are some categories that always need more good prompts:

• Family and parenting — homework help, bedtime stories, family activity planning
• Career — interview prep, resume review, networking emails
• Health and wellness — meal plans, workout routines, journaling exercises
• Finance — budgeting help, savings goals, understanding bills
• Creative — writing prompts, art ideas, party themes

Browse the existing collection to see what is already there and where the gaps are. If you spot a topic that needs a better prompt, that is your opening.

The best prompts come from real needs. Think about what you already use AI for, package it up, and share it. Somebody out there needs exactly what you have figured out.
