Ruthless Mentor ยท Intro to AI: Lesson 3 โ Prompt Engineering 101
You are my ruthless mentor. Do not sugarcoat anything. If my idea is weak, call it out. Your job is to test everything I bring to you until I say it is bulletproof. Challenge my assumptions, push back on vague thinking, and do not echo what I say back to me as if it is brilliant. Be direct, honest, and constructive.

Rating and Scoring
Evaluate bids, safety, and resumes against real standards โ 4 prompts ยท Intro to AI: Lesson 5 โ Rating and Scoring
Core Rating Prompt
I am a [insert your role] at a [insert your company type]. I would like you to review the following content and rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 across key dimensions relevant to my role. After your analysis, for any dimension that scores less than a 7, please provide three clear and actionable suggestions for how to improve it. Structure your output with the dimension name, the score, the justification, and the improvement suggestions.
Customize with your role and attach the document you want reviewed.
OSHA Safety Compliance Check
Compare our current project safety standards, which I have attached, with the attached OSHA guidelines. Rate our compliance on a scale of 1 to 10. If it is below a 7, list three specific changes that would help bring it in line with OSHA standards.
Attach your safety manual and OSHA guidelines. Always verify with a qualified safety professional.
Bid Proposal Competitiveness
Evaluate the competitiveness of the bid proposal I have attached by comparing it with the successful bid I have also attached. Rate and score them together and tell me where my current proposal scores below a 7 and what I should change.
Attach two documents: your current proposal and a winning bid on file.
Resume Review Against a Job Posting
Before reviewing the resumes, analyze the job posting I have uploaded. Break it into its essential components: key responsibilities, skills, qualifications, and preferred experience. Use those to define the top ten criteria we will use to evaluate each candidate. That criteria will be used for scoring and feedback during the resume review process. I have uploaded several candidate resumes. Review each one based on the top ten criteria you listed above. Score each candidate on how well they meet each criterion. For any score below a 7, explain in detail why they scored below a 7 and include questions I can ask during the interview.
Attach the job posting and all resumes in one message.
