A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Plan five easy weeknight dinners for a family with a very opinionated 4-year-old. Put each meal on my Skylight calendar on a day that fits our week, keep recipes realistic for a working parent, and leave me a grocery list I can shop without more decisions. Do not check out anywhere.

Try this in:

ChatGPT Gemini Grok Claude

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini and Claude open empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

The source used Claude Cowork, which can take actions in a browser or app. These are general chat tools, so results may differ, and a normal chat may only give you a plan.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Schedule five realistic family dinners onto my shared calendar and produce one grocery list.

Questions to ask me first:
- What ages and hard food refusals apply?
- Which calendar or planner should receive the meals?
- Busy nights that need the easiest recipes?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Kids: [AGES / REFUSALS]
- Calendar: [SKYLIGHT / OTHER]
- Busy nights: [LIST]

Rules:
- Prefer easy, realistic recipes over gourmet.
- Assign meals to specific days.
- Stop before any store checkout.

Checkpoint: Show the five meal titles and days before writing the grocery list.

If you get stuck: If calendar access fails, output a dated list I can paste in.

Verify before you finish: Each day has one dinner and the list covers every ingredient.

Output: Calendar-ready meals plus grocery list.

Done when: I only cook and shop from the plan.

Outcome

Tiffany Richardson, a working mom of two with a picky 4-year-old, handed weekly meal planning to Claude Cowork after kids’ bedtime instead of staring at a blank calendar. Claude finds realistic recipes, schedules them on a Skylight calendar and planner, and Skylight turns the plan into a grocery list so execution is the only remaining step. Richardson reports less evening decision fatigue and more presence at dinner.
