Organization Approaches
- By category: Writing, Coding, Research, Communication, Analysis, Learning
- By task type: Explain, Summarize, Generate, Review, Debug, Translate, Plan
- By tool: ChatGPT prompts, Gemini prompts, Claude prompts (useful if outputs differ by tool)
- By use case: Customer emails, Technical documentation, Meeting notes, Content creation
- By audience: Technical team, Executive audience, Beginner learner, Client communication

Key Takeaways
- Organize prompts by category, task type, or use case so they are easy to find
- Choose an organization approach that matches how you think about your work
- A consistent file naming convention makes the library easier to navigate
- Start simple and add more categories as your library grows
- Review and reorganize the library periodically to keep it useful
