# Association prompt pack for small local models

Prompts tuned for smaller local models (1B–8B). They work best with three
habits: one task per prompt, an explicit format ("three sentences", "a table"),
and real details filled in where you see [brackets]. Replace the brackets —
models do worse with vague placeholders than with concrete (non-sensitive) facts.

## Session descriptions

```
Draft a three-sentence session description for a conference session.
Topic: [topic]. Audience: [who attends]. Speaker: [name and one-line credential].
Plain language, no jargon, no hype words like "unlock" or "supercharge."
```

## Renewal nudge emails

```
Draft a short renewal reminder email, under 120 words.
Member type: [e.g., individual professional members].
Tone: warm and direct, not pushy. Include one specific member benefit: [benefit].
End with a clear next step: [e.g., renew at our website by Friday].
```

## Board summaries

```
Summarize these meeting notes into a board-ready paragraph of five sentences or fewer.
Keep only decisions made and who owns each next step. Leave out discussion details.
Notes: [paste notes — scrub names if your policy requires it]
```

## Sponsor outreach (first draft)

```
Draft a short, respectful first outreach email to a potential sponsor.
Company: [company name]. Why they're a fit: [one sentence, public facts only].
Our event: [event name, date, audience size]. Ask for a 15-minute call, not a commitment.
Under 150 words. No flattery, no exclamation marks.
```

## Meeting-note cleanup

```
Clean up these rough meeting notes: fix grammar and structure, keep every fact
and number exactly as written, and list action items at the end with owners.
Do not add anything that isn't in the notes.
Notes: [paste notes]
```

## Newsletter blurbs

```
Turn these three bullets into a friendly 60-word newsletter blurb for members.
Bullets: [1] [2] [3]. Conversational tone, one clear call to action at the end.
```

## What to do when the output is weak

1. **Add format.** "As a table with columns X and Y" fixes most rambling.
2. **Add an example.** Show one sentence in the style you want, then ask it to continue.
3. **Shorten the task.** Split "plan the workshop" into "draft the agenda," then "draft the invite."
4. **Size up.** If the 1B model struggles, the 3B or 8B usually doesn't — see ollama-guide.md.

Remember: local models keep your drafts on your machine, but they don't replace
verification. A human checks everything members will see.
