BENRI / GUIDES
Save AI instructions you use often
Separate reusable instructions from the text or topic that changes each time. Save a prompt that states the task, audience and expected output.
Notice which conditions you keep repeating
If every rewriting request includes “keep the meaning,” “write for a first-time reader” and “explain the changes,” prepare those conditions as one reusable prompt.
Separate the recurring requirements from this request’s source text or topic. The aim is an instruction you can use again, rather than a longer prompt for its own sake.
Choose a text file or purpose-based notes
A plain text file is enough for a small set of prompts. Obsidian can keep them beside related notes and insert templates. BENRI Prompt Memo is useful when you want to choose a purpose and open the instructions in a browser.

BENRI Prompt Memo: Save the instructions and complete the next request
- Create a prompt memo with a title describing its task.
- Separate the request, constraints and output format, marking the parts that change each time.
- Group related instructions in the hierarchy so they are easy to open for the task.
- Copy the memo, fill in the current details and use it with the AI tool. Add useful refinements after reviewing the result.
The example shows a writing prompt whose audience and output requirements can be reviewed before use.
A writing prompt keeps the task, intended reader and output format together. (Japanese interface.)BENRI Prompt Memo: save reusable instructions ↗
A text file: keep one reusable instruction
- Write the request, constraints and output format in a text editor.
- Mark fields that change each time and save with a descriptive filename.
- Open it for the next task, copy the instruction and replace those fields.
Simple for a small set of instructions. You manage the filenames and folders yourself.
Obsidian: organize instructions as notes
- Open a vault in Obsidian and create a note.
- Use the task as its title and separate the request, constraints and output with headings.
- Find the note by name or search, copy the instruction and paste it into the AI tool.
Useful when instructions belong alongside your other project notes. A vault needs to be set up first.

Write the task, reader and output separately
For a rewriting prompt, specify the task as “make the text easier to read without changing its meaning,” the reader as someone new to the topic, and the output as revised text plus three key changes.
Put the current source text beneath those instructions. Name the prompt by its purpose so it is recognizable when you need it.
Obsidian: templates
Keep the conditions that improved the answer
Using a saved prompt may reveal that bullets are easier to read or that specialist terms need explanations. Add only the conditions that improve the result.
If you add several changes at once, you cannot tell which one helped. Add one condition, compare the answer, and repeat.
You will have instructions tailored to your recurring task that communicate both the purpose and the expected answer. Next time, start by replacing the source text.
