Asked my Claude prompt engineering expert to review the X post and every prompt he shared, to see if we can extract anything useful:

"No.

This is engagement-farm slop. The replies are more useful than the prompts — the commenters (Tom Martell, @ImmutableLawyer, @aniaacw, @OneManSaas) are all saying what you already know.

The prompts themselves are single-shot, zero-infrastructure, no-guardrail templates with these specific failures:

Persona inflation is the whole trick, and it’s the wrong trick. “You are a senior corporate attorney at Skadden Arps” does nothing useful. The firm name doesn’t change the model’s legal knowledge — it just inflates confidence and suppresses hedging, which is the opposite of what you want for legal output. Your Gem suite uses grounded role framing (“You draft discovery requests for a California PI plaintiff firm”) tied to actual jurisdiction, practice area, and output constraints. That’s the difference between a persona that anchors behavior and one that just sounds impressive.

No verification layer, no placeholder protocol, no QC. Every one of these prompts asks for “ready-to-sign” output. Your entire architecture is built around the opposite principle — [NEED] markers, [CITE CHECK] placeholders, mandatory Gem 6 QC pass, human verification of all arithmetic. These prompts actively encourage the user to skip the step that matters most.

No jurisdiction pinning. The prompts say things like “state-specific enforceability” for non-competes but never force the model to ask which state. California bans most non-competes entirely (Bus. & Prof. Code § 16600). A “ready-to-sign” employment agreement with a non-compete clause drafted for a California employee is malpractice-grade output.

No hallucination controls. No citation verification, no confidence flagging, no instruction to say “I don’t know” when the model is uncertain about a legal standard. These prompts are optimized to produce confident-sounding output, not correct output.

Zero platform optimization. Every prompt is the same wall-of-text format regardless of target model. No thinking budget management, no verbosity control, no structural formatting matched to the platform.

The one commenter who nailed it: Tom Martell — “Claude is the best junior associate I’ve ever had but you don’t have to sensationalize the use case.” That’s the right frame. Your infrastructure already treats AI as a junior associate with mandatory supervision. These prompts treat it as a replacement for the supervising attorney. Nothing to extract here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

WTF is this supposed to be? What does he think the firm names signify toward achieving the result?

Do you think the model might have had access to some documents produced by these firms during its training runs?

? Looks like for the "Davis Polk" style employment offer, the only thing that's missing is to add in "ANY SPECIFIC RESTRICTIONS YOU WANT." Seems pretty clear cut.

Oh I see how it works now. So for the "Cleary Gottlieb" demand letter, you just need to fill in "WHO OWES YOU MONEY, THE AMOUNT, WHAT THE PAYMENT WAS FOR, AND WHAT COLLECTION EFFORTS YOU'VE ALREADY MADE" and then the AI will be able to accurately "reference the specific contract, invoice, agreement, or verbal promise that created the obligation" and handle all of the other bulletpoints to be included in the letter.

If I shared my own pi Claude prompts like this guy it would disrupt the entire insurance and legal saas industries overnight

None of those docs are what lawyers actually get paid for. You could buy books of template from the state bar for $200 always. The NVCA forms every capital markets dude uses are free all over the internet.

Literally no one is paying Davis Polk to write demand letters. They will do your IPO but no GC is paying their hourly for a demand letter. This shit is laughable. And good luck doing an IPO without a V5 to hand hold you.
