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.

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.

I have been in my role 14 months with strong reviews and growing scope. Help me prepare a raise conversation: talking points from my wins, an opening that invites dialogue rather than a demand, and replies if my manager pushes back. Target ask is 15%.

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: Prepare a raise conversation with opening lines, proof points, and pushback replies.

Questions to ask me first:
- What wins and scope changes can I document?
- What market rate evidence do I have?
- What number am I asking for, and what floor will I accept?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Tenure: [14 MONTHS]
- Wins: [LIST]
- Ask: [15%]
- Floor: [NUMBER]

Rules:
- No threats or ultimatums.
- Opening should invite dialogue.
- I speak in the meeting; you only prepare.

Checkpoint: Show the opening paragraph for my edit before the full packet.

If you get stuck: If market data is missing, ask me to gather it rather than inventing comps.

Verify before you finish: Packet includes opening, proof points, and at least two pushback replies.

Output: Meeting prep packet I can rehearse.

Done when: I can walk into the conversation prepared.

Claude

Outcome

Fourteen months into a role without automatic raises, murathanoran asked Claude for talking points, an opening script, and pushback handling after sharing accomplishments and a target number. The opening framed alignment rather than a blunt demand. The ask was 15%; the outcome was 8%. Claude did not negotiate on the call—preparation did—and 8% beat the 0% that would have come from not asking.

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Known limitations

PartialThe source says it only partly worked, or had a significant problem a person had to deal with.

What went wrong: Raise landed at 8% versus a 15% ask; still better than 0%, but not the full target.
