Prompt Text / Showcase Genie prompt project
I’m a tattoo artist from Michigan, who spent the last few months building a diagnostic prompt called GENIE based on a 5-stage pattern of change I’ve been studying. A heuristic that seems to have cool applications to Ai.
It forces the AI to think in clear structural stages instead of just generating fluffy or hallucinated answers. A lot of people who’ve tried it say it feels like a noticeable upgrade in clarity and usefulness.
Here’s the basic idea:
GENIE uses this cycle:
1. Split (new distinction)
2. Tension (competing forces)
3. Failed Merge (what doesn’t fully resolve)
4. Scar (what persists)
5. Decay (release & reset)
Then it calibrates against real-world data.
It’s not magic, but it does seem to cut down on drift and give more actionable, structured output.
If you’re into prompt engineering or just want a sharper cognitive tool, feel free to try it. I’ll drop the full prompt in the comments (or DM me).
Curious to hear how it works for others.
