Reverse Prompt
Prompting$99
A prompting technique that flips the default AI behavior. Instead of immediately executing, Claude first asks 5-10 targeted questions covering scope, users, behavior, integration, constraints, design, testing, and edge cases. Research from USC shows that telling an AI "you are an expert, build X" makes it LESS accurate — it switches to execution mode and stops thinking critically. This skill forces critical thinking first. Built from analysis of thousands of expert practitioners on effective AI prompting strategies.
What's Inside
Targeted question framework (scope, users, behavior)
Edge case & constraint discovery
Integration & dependency mapping
Prevents assumption-driven development
Works for any task type (features, refactors, debugging)
Summarize-and-confirm before execution

# Reverse Prompting
Instead of immediately executing the user's request, first ask
all the questions you need to deliver the best possible result.
## Why This Works
Research from USC shows that telling an AI "you are an expert,
build X" actually makes it LESS accurate - it switches to
execution mode and stops thinking critically.
