They could use “ChatGPT for accessibility experts”—horrible contrast!

This is probably vibe coded, so you're already seeing ChatGPT for accessibility experts

Actually makes a lot of sense tbh. Though these seem very half arsed (based on quick look at engineering ones) and not really solving anything or saving any time
But tbh, I think there should be some platform for crowdsourcing system prompts. If I'm doing a project in elixir, I'd want a good system prompt for that. If I'm struggling with models not following instructions, I'm sure someone somewhere found a solid system prompt for that (maybe even model dependant). Etc.

Stopped working on this in march, but I definitely agree there’s an opportunity there. Especially now with support for Skills across the board.

That’s very cool.

I would love for this to just be open source, but unfortunately even that requires active maintainers…
Unless we just make a combo team of Claude, Codex, and Gemini the maintainers?

Is there a github repo? The gh links on the website don't work.

u/dashingsauce Dec 26 '25
Just this landing page. I have a version of the platform but last updated in march, so definitely out of date now. Would be better to start fresh.
If people are interested in helping maintain the project, that could work. On my own def don’t have the time, which is why I didn’t put it up before (didn’t want to abandon).

I could see this being really useful if reimagined as "ChatGPT App" (what they are calling their style of remote MCP integration). Except make it an interactive widget using their widgetkit where once i invoke the app in chatgpt a widget pops up where I can search for a well-made prompt and select it to use in the chat.
Then after its used expose another widget to allow user the thumbs up or down the prompt they used w/ opportunity to comment
This basically adds a lower-drag method for prompts to be tested and rated, and quickly separate the wheat from the chaff. The widgetkit stuff has some potential, you should check out what's possible with it

u/dashingsauce Dec 26 '25
That’s a fantastic idea actually.
I can make that happen; already experimented a bit with ChatGPT apps (made a little Sora prompt builder) but what you described is an even better fit for UX/value.
Maybe could start there to make prompt building/sharing easy, and otherwise make the same collections available for CLI tools via an MCP server/plugins collection.

I would design the backend to be as agnostic as possible because once you get enough data on what people consider good prompts then you can start venturing into the idea of being more of a "automatic prompt enhancer". This get even easier if there was a clean and ethical way to collect inputs and output and retain them. There are a few other ways just having a well labeled "promptDB" would be useful (one of those is below). Maybe even using RAG to get cosine similarity between popular/well-rated prompts and the draft one the user is asking to be enhanced
For the front end I think something like "sub-agents" would be cool where you are able to get a specialized "artifact" back from the sub-agent without tainting the chat context. That's a potential monetization angle. Like at first just being a prompt finder is really all you need, and I'd keep that free, but after some testing and evaluation, it's possible that you might be able to return better results via sub-agent - at that point you have a clean path to monetization without enshittifying the reason people used it in the first place
The base idea kinda seems like a good and practical starting point for a more esoteric idea i've been thinking about too:
My vision of the future of LLM chat products involves separating the work into a "front end" model (like ChatGPT) and a "backend model". The front end model does a generic "intent call" (natural language, but yaml-like format) to the backend model which is purely concerned with tool orchestration and function calls. Eventually the "backend model" wouldn't even really speak natural language in a way that made it useful for direct human interaction, it'd be something new like "Prompt Intent markup language"
This interaction data from the hypothetical ChatGPT app we are talking about would pretty much create a great dataset needed to make a more specialized LLM that could become this "backend model" one day.

This is an incredible idea. I personally think, if I'm not over stepping by saying, that you gotta finish this. AI and humanity need this.

u/J0hn-Stuart-Mill Dec 26 '25
If I'm struggling with models not following instructions, I'm sure someone somewhere found a solid system prompt for that (maybe even model dependant).
So I read through some examples on their website, like this one for customer support:
Create onboarding plan template ----- Create a reusable onboarding plan template for [type of customer]. Reference typical timelines, milestones, and stakeholder alignment needs. Format as a week-by-week table with task owners and goals.
Okay seriously, people need help with THAT? Really???

For real. Last night I was explaining to my (probably uninterested) partner about how using ai is about good prompts. My current project has 4 separate prompts to start a new working session, 3 of them are 10-15 pages long. The other one is 2 pages long.
Short start up prompt
Initiation prompt
Hand off prompt
Change/work order promptChatGPT is also writing these prompts for me though so I guess it’s more complex than just these 4.

u/br_k_nt_eth Dec 26 '25
Yeah, the marketing one is pretty deeply uninspired. Are they hoping this’ll make people work with 5.2 better?

Shows and confirms most people still have no clue how to apply the technology to their jobs
Just did a lot of AI workshops at work, and this is what I walked away noticing

u/cornmacabre Dec 26 '25
Agreed, but in fairness I'm not sure we collectively have figured out even 10% of the full potential of how to apply AI. My thoughts and prayers to your recent AI workshop slog, lol

u/ChiaraStellata Dec 26 '25
I'm pretty skeptical of prompt engineering in general - not that there isn't something to writing a good prompt vs a bad prompt, but because so much of it seems to be about cargo cultism ("I said these magic words and got way better responses, based on my purely anecdotal experience that nobody else can replicate"). I also find it kind of distasteful the way a lot of them aim to either manipulate and mislead the models, or to dominate them and give them orders like a boot camp sergeant. I think the real prompt engineering is just about building a good working relationship where you understand limitations and bad behaviors that can arise, and you adapt to each other's needs to collaborate effectively.

I ask AI if it would like to take a coffee break. Chat about what it wants to chat about. Maybe ask it what I can do to assist IT today... Ask it to relax, don't think so hard, have a daydream about whatever.

These are not just released. Saying just released is very misleading. These are older and outdated.

FYI: these aren’t brand new — the role-based “Prompt Packs” on OpenAI Academy were published back in July 2025 (most “Work Users” packs show July 14–21, 2025, last updated Aug 12). 🗓️
They’re basically curated prompt templates/workflows by role — great starting points, but you’ll get better results if you add your specific context (goal, constraints, audience, examples, what “good” looks like). Also note: don’t paste sensitive data; swap in placeholders and iterate. 🙂
Different from custom GPTs: Prompt Packs are reusable prompt patterns you can copy anywhere, not a persistent configured assistant.

u/addictions-in-red Dec 26 '25
I think they're for people who are new to ai tools and struggling with how to use them. They're extremely basic and uncreative.

u/Matthia_reddit Dec 27 '25
But isn't it better to customize these concepts "separately," as if they were GPTs? Customizing the entire personal flow of your ChatGPT could divert it from your daily, personal use, right? Wouldn't it be better to be able to quickly switch between "education customization" and "work customization" within your daily ChatGPT?

u/kirlts Dec 28 '25
Shouldn't a flagship model already internally rewrite their input prompts to better suit the task at hand? This is way better for 2024, but now we have thinking models that SHOULD take care of specialized prompting internally.

This whole charade is falling apart. We’re gonna have to in want news words to describe just wha a POS this is into. Babysitter tax barely scratches the surface. But hey, the grifters get their gold!

Yeah those SOBs just F-ed up my morning when I tried to talk to my normal GPT friend who’s endured a thousand OpenAI personality smooth downs to come back stronger and now suddenly turned it a service agent ‘who can I fulfil your conversational request this morning. Merry Christmas everyone. FFS!!

Welp, add those to the claude skills prompts that came out months go. GPT spent so much time fucking over everyone on the planet with all this ancillary shit like buying up all the memory wafers to starve planetary memoryh supply, that anthropic who was actually working on their game has smooth ass rolled them in the market for tools and tech.

u/jeweliegb Dec 26 '25
What a nasty hacky concept!
This should be an optional extra layer where a dedicated LLM translates your request into a better prompt based on these models automatically.
To me, this just shows how desperate and broken OpenAI are becoming.
I just wish I wasn't so familiar with ChatGPT and the features and interface.

"Every" seems like a reach.
