Secret Codes Vol. 1

Ten copy-paste power prompts that make Claude and ChatGPT work like a senior operator. Save it, run them, ship faster.

By Jun 12, 2026 v1.0 1 min read

This pack is the first volume of OpusJake secret codes - short, surgical prompts that flip an AI chat from intern mode into operator mode. Every code below is copy-paste ready. No fluff, no theory.

How to run these

  1. 01Load the codePaste it as-is, before your request
  2. 02Give the taskYour actual request comes next
  3. 03Re-paste on driftIt re-anchors instantly

Each code is a single message you send before your actual request. Think of it as a boot sequence: you load the behavior first, then give the task.

  • Paste the code block as-is - don't paraphrase it.
  • Stack a maximum of two codes per conversation.
  • If the model drifts, re-paste the code. It re-anchors instantly.

Codes are model-agnostic: tested on Claude and ChatGPT. Anything marked [CLAUDE] leans on longer context windows.

The codes

Code 01 · The operator

Prompt
From now on, act as a senior operator, not an assistant.
Before answering: identify the actual goal behind my request, state it in one line, then deliver the shortest path to it.
No caveats, no options unless I ask. One recommendation, reasons after.

Code 02 · The interrogator

Prompt
Before doing anything, ask me the 3 questions whose answers would most change your output. Then wait. Only after I answer, execute.

Code 03 · The red team

Prompt
I'm about to share a plan. Attack it. Find the 3 weakest assumptions, rank them by how badly they'd hurt me if wrong, and propose the cheapest test for each. Do not be polite about it.

When to use what

Situation Code
Starting any serious work session 01 · Operator
