Prompts
Ready-to-use prompts for AI agents. Copy, paste, and go — or adapt to your project's needs.
What are Catalyst prompts?
Catalyst prompts are structured instructions you give to AI agents (Claude, GPT, Cursor, Copilot) to guide their behaviour. Instead of starting from scratch each session, you paste a prompt that sets expectations, constraints, and working style.
Copy & paste
Each prompt is ready to use. Paste it at the start of a chat or session.
Agent-aware
Different prompts for different AI roles — Project Agent vs. Coding Agent.
Workflow-aligned
Prompts map to the delivery loop: Brief, Build, Review, Refine.
Two types of AI agent
Catalyst separates responsibilities between two agent types. Use the right prompts for each.
Project Agent
Thinks about scope, decisions, and direction. Produces artefacts like Vision, Architecture, and Requirements. Challenges assumptions and keeps the project aligned.
- • Clarify intent and goals
- • Produce handover documents
- • Stress test decisions
- • Track project state
Coding Agent
Executes against intent with discipline. Builds features, maintains quality, and follows repo conventions. Proposes phased plans and implements incrementally.
- • Build features in phases
- • Follow AGENTS.md conventions
- • Run quality audits
- • Debug and troubleshoot
How prompts fit the workflow
The Catalyst workflow has four phases. Prompts help at each phase.
- • Project Sessions
- • Project Artefacts
→ Checkpoint
- • Coding Sessions
→ Checkpoint
- • Project Sessions
- • Quality & Audits
- • Stage Advancement
- • Quality & Audits
→ Checkpoint
Prompt categories
Five categories covering the full delivery lifecycle. Each page has multiple prompts as tabs.
Project Sessions
Start, continue, and validate project conversations with the Project Agent.
Project Artefacts
Generate handover documents that capture intent and decisions.
Coding Sessions
Set up coding sessions with proper context and constraints.
Quality & Audits
Run structured quality checks against your codebase.
Stage Promotion
Transition between stages with the right quality bar.
How to use prompts
Choose the right prompt
Pick based on what you're doing: starting a project, building a feature, running an audit, or promoting a stage.
Copy the prompt
Each prompt page has a copy button. The prompt is ready to use as-is.
Paste at the start of your session
In Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your AI tool — paste the prompt first, then continue your conversation.
Provide context
The prompt will guide the AI to ask for what it needs, or you can attach relevant artefacts upfront.
Key insight
Different AIs should own different responsibilities. A single agent trying to handle context, scope, code, and sequencing produces inconsistent results. Use Project Agent prompts for scope and artefacts, Coding Agent prompts for build and quality. Hand off between them with clear artefacts.
