Common questions
Before you buy
How do I get the full Rulebook after I buy it?
- Right away, by email. As soon as checkout is done, Lemon Squeezy sends a link to the PDF and your receipt to the address you used.
Do I get new versions of the Rulebook?
- Yes, for free. One payment gives you lifetime access: when a new version comes out, it's sent to the email address you bought with.
Can I get a refund?
- No, all sales are final. So you can see what you're buying first: the free sample has the first two sections in full, and the full version's page lists all 43 rules by name, with 6 of them to try.
How quickly will I see results?
- On the next prompt you send. A rule works on the prompt you add it to, so you can compare the answer with and without it right away. Some rules give you exactly what you ask for, like a markdown table. Others, like asking the AI to review its answer or state its assumptions, make mistakes easier to spot but don't guarantee a correct answer.
What AI tools do these prompt rules work with?
- The rules work with the popular AI chat tools, including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. They teach clear communication, not tricks for one tool.
