Prompt Gallery

A curated collection of ready-to-use prompts generated from FCC persona R.I.S.C.E.A.R. specifications. Each prompt is production-tested, copy-paste ready, and annotated with commentary on what makes it effective.

How These Prompts Were Built

Every prompt in this gallery was generated using build_persona_system_prompt() from fcc.simulation.prompts, then edited for clarity and standalone use. The function assembles all 10 R.I.S.C.E.A.R. components -- Role, Inputs, Style, Constraints, Expected Output, Archetype, Responsibilities, Role Skills, Role Collaborators, and Role Adoption Checklist -- into a structured system prompt.

from fcc._resources import get_personas_dir
from fcc.personas.registry import PersonaRegistry
from fcc.simulation.prompts import build_persona_system_prompt

registry = PersonaRegistry.from_yaml_directory(get_personas_dir())
prompt = build_persona_system_prompt(registry.get("RC"))

Difficulty Ratings

Each prompt is rated for complexity:

  • Beginner -- Simple, focused prompts suitable for any LLM
  • Intermediate -- Multi-section prompts requiring structured output
  • Advanced -- Complex prompts with constraints, collaboration context, and dimensional awareness
