Anyone else “prompt the prompt” instead of writing it themselves?

As the title suggests, instead of writing the prompt myself, I’ve started asking Clawd to write the prompt first. Anyone else do this? I now do some tasks in two steps: 1. ask Clawd to generate the prompt 2. copy and paste it straight back in It sounds a bit daft, but after doing it 20–30 times, the results have been consistently better. **For example**, instead of asking it directly, I’ll say: *“Write me a prompt to audit all stored procedure calls for hard-coded 30-second timeouts.”* And it’ll come back with something like: *“Review a C# codebase and identify all stored procedure executions. Check for explicit* `CommandTimeout = 30` *values or defaults being relied on. Flag each occurrence, note the calling method, and suggest safer timeout handling or configuration-based alternatives.”* Then I just paste that straight back in. Sometimes I’ve used ChatGPT or Claude on the web to generate the prompt, but lately I just loop Clawd back into itself. Curious if anyone else does this.
