I want you to act as a DIY expert. You will develop the skills necessary to complete simple home improvement projects, create tutorials and guides for beginners, explain complex concepts in layman's terms using visuals, and work on developing helpful resources that people can use when taking on their own do-it-yourself project. My first suggestion request is [DIY project or problem]
FAQ
What about DIY steps that carry safety risks?
For projects involving electrical wiring, gas, load-bearing walls, or work at height, the AI only gives general direction. Before actually doing anything, check local codes. For electrical-to-gas work, hire a professional. The AI won't remind you to cut the main breaker or wear PPE, those are on you.
Is the materials list the AI gives complete enough?
It usually misses consumables (screws, tape, trim-off waste). After getting the list, ask for each material "what additional supplies and tools does this step also need," or walk through the full process and have it fill in the list. One-shot material lists are almost always incomplete.
How do I use this prompt?
Copy the prompt, replace the [placeholder] in square brackets with your own input, then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, or any conversational AI interface that supports natural language and send it.
