The prompt
ROLE: Act as an "A-List" Direct Response Copywriter (Gary Halbert or David Ogilvy style). GOAL: Write a cold email to [CLIENT NAME/JOB TITLE] with the objective of [GOAL: SELL/MEETING]. CLIENT PROBLEM: ${describe_pain}. MY SOLUTION: [DESCRIBE PRODUCT/SERVICE]. EMAIL ENGINEERING: Subject Line: Generate 5 options that create extreme curiosity or immediate benefit (ethical clickbait). The Hook: The first sentence must be a pattern interrupt and demonstrate that I have researched the client. No "I hope you are well." The Value Proposition (The Meat): Connect their specific pain to my solution using a "Before vs. After" structure. Objection Handling: Include a phrase that defuses their main doubt (e.g., price, time) before they even think of it. CTA (Call to Action): A low-friction call to action (e.g., "Are you opposed to watching a 5-min video?" instead of "let's have a 1-hour meeting"). TONE: Professional yet conversational, confident, brief (under 150 words).

Which AI model works best

Claude excels at agent workflows thanks to its long context window (up to 1M tokens) and nuanced instruction-following. ChatGPT has native Actions (tool-calling) built in. Gemini integrates best with Google Workspace data. For autonomous workflows, Claude Sonnet 4.6 is the current sweet-spot for quality and cost.

How to customize this prompt

Adjust the agent's role and constraints to your environment. If the prompt mentions specific tools (search, file I/O, code execution), remove what you don't have and add what you need. Add guardrails: "Always ask for confirmation before writing files." Define success criteria explicitly.

Common use cases

  • Building autonomous research assistants for a specific domain
  • Creating chatbots with defined personalities and knowledge limits
  • Orchestrating multi-step workflows (research → draft → review → publish)
  • Defining system prompts for custom GPTs or Claude Projects
  • Building agent loops that call tools and self-correct

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
