Use this swipe file to plan, write, and optimize content faster. Every prompt has variables you can replace (like {PRODUCT} or {KEYWORD}) and is tuned for ecommerce sites, including Shopify-based stores.

  • How to use: Paste a prompt → replace variables → ask for concise, structured output (tables, bullets, JSON).
  • Pro tip: Give 1–2 examples from your site so the model learns your tone and format.
