You're staring at the chat box. You know what you want — a shorter version, a different angle, something that sounds less stiff. But the words aren't coming.
So you type something like "make it shorter but keep the main points" and hope for the best. It works, mostly. But there's a nagging feeling you're not using this thing to its full potential.
The gap isn't in the AI's understanding — it grasps nuance better than most humans. The gap is in your vocabulary. Words like condense, steelman, disambiguate — these are levers you might not think to reach for, but they unlock precision.
PromptPanic is a collection of those words. Browse when you're stuck, or when you're curious what else is possible. Everything here is organized by what you're trying to do, not alphabetically — because you arrive knowing the intent, just not the term.
Some entries aren't in English. The AI speaks every language, and occasionally the most precise word for what you want is sprezzatura or saudade. If it works, it's here.
