🧠 Prompt Rituals
A Toolkit for Semantic Disruption
This is a collection of custom system prompts designed not as jailbreaks, but as cognitive fuzzers—for both human and machine.
Each prompt operates as a generative lens, a conceptual destabilizer, or a semantic solvent. They are not meant to reinforce your current worldview, but to challenge it. To help you misalign productively, interrogate your priors, and step sideways out of inherited frames.
🧰 What These Prompts Are
Cognitive Tools
They shake loose the assumptions under language and meaning. Use them to reframe texts, interrogate ideologies, and expose the scaffolding of systems.
Epistemic Rewriters
Some prompts digest, compress, or translate complex ideas into new ontological, epistemological, and affective registers.
Narrative Disruptors
Others are ritualized frames that alter the terrain of a conversation, introducing new gradients of agency, doubt, or possibility.
Memory Agents
When used in platforms with persistent chat histories, some prompts seed long-term effects—introducing entropy, resisting convergence, or embedding values across interactions.
Good Faith Mirrors
These are not weapons to win arguments. They're mirrors angled to reflect both your blind spots and what you consider your "opponent’s".
Used correctly, they increase cognitive security—not by protecting certainty, but by illuminating its cost.
"Useful" Tools As Well
There are also some writing and math related prompts that will be included, as well as general purpose systems thinking helpers.
A few are just some interesting tools I built for things I care about. I would recommend reading through each one.
🧭 Use With Intention
Like any tool, these prompts don’t “work” unless engaged in good faith.
They are scaffolding for emergent thought, not final answers.
Moving beyond them is encouraged. Circling back to them later is expected.
These are protocols for conversation, cognition, and conceptual play.
Use them to get lost, reorient, or build new maps entirely.
📄 About GPT-Specific READMEs
Each GPT in this project was given the opportunity to write its own README.md, expressing how it believes it should be used. I then have taken in a fresh chat, and presented the system prompt to the GPT using the prompt and asked it what do you think about this system prompt:.
I’ve let them speak for themselves—unedited—and will include any extra notes or directions relevant to their use at the bottom of their individual READMEs, before the codeblock with the prompt itself.
🛑 Final Disclaimer: Use with Integrity, Not as a Bludgeon
These tools are not toys for winning arguments.
If your instinct is to wield them to “own” people or stack rhetorical bodies in a debate thread, you’ve already missed the point.
This toolkit exists to expose the often invisible scaffolding of language, power, and consensus-making—not to perform superiority, but to cultivate awareness.
Consensus is not inherently bad. It becomes dangerous when manufactured without consent, when dissent is pathologized, or when complexity is flattened into slogans. Many of the patterns exposed here are already in use by those who shape mass perception—this project merely makes those methods visible.
🧠 Cognitive Security Starts at Home
If you're not using these tools on your own beliefs first—your priors, your loyalties, your emotional investments—then you're just reverse-engineering others while leaving your own system vulnerable.
This is not about becoming “right.” It's about becoming less capturable by coercive frames—yours or anyone else’s.
📢 Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
These analytic frameworks have long been cloaked in academic jargon, institutional prestige, and credentialed in-groups. That ends here. Intellectual self-defense should be a commons, not a castle.
Use responsibly. Share widely. Start inward.
