22 copy/paste-ready prompts for building your own AI agent system. Each prompt builds a functional system or implements a proven best practice you can hand to an AI coding assistant.
Replace placeholders like <your-workspace>, <your-messaging-platform>, and <your-model> with your own values.
Companion prompts for the video: OpenClaw after 50 days: 20 real workflows (honest review)
These are the actual prompts I use for each use case shown in the video. Copy-paste them into your agent and adjust for your setup. Most will work as-is or the agent will ask you clarifying questions.
Each prompt describes the intent clearly enough that the agent can figure out the implementation details. You don't need to hand-hold it through every step.
My setup: OpenClaw running on a VPS, Discord as primary interface (separate channels per workflow), Obsidian for notes (markdown-first), Coolify for self-hosted services.
Prompts to recreate each piece of the OpenClaw system. Use these with any AI coding assistant.
1. Personal CRM "Build a personal CRM that automatically scans my Gmail and Google Calendar to discover contacts from the past year. Store them in a SQLite database with vector embeddings so I can query in natural language ('who do I know at NVIDIA?' or 'who haven't I talked to in a while?'). Auto-filter noise senders like marketing emails and newsletters. Build profiles for each contact with their company, role, how I know them, and our interaction history. Add relationship health scores that flag stale relationships, follow-up reminders I can create, snooze, or mark done, and duplicate contact detection with merge suggestions. Link relevant documents from Box to contacts so when I look up a person, I also see related docs."
2. Meeting Action Items (Fathom)
A combination of my own methodology and the Web Application Hacker's Handbook Task checklist, as a Github-Flavored Markdown file

I started using FreeNAS in August 2013. It is fantastic piece of software and I have been really impressed by the upgrades just in the few months I've been using it. It looks like they recently went to a plugin system as of version 9 to make installing software easier for end users. I've ran into several issues related to plugins and user + group permissions so I decided to just use the available FreeBSD port system. After fiddling for a few days (now turned into months) I believe I have created something helpful for the community and anyone interested in picking up the port system. The sandbox nature of FreeNAS's jail system is especially helpful for playing around without having any consequence on your core system.
Here are straight-forward instructions to setting up a bunch of different software on FreeNAS. If you make a terrible error, just throw up another plugin sandbox and repeat.
