These prompts are written for Kowalah inside your AI tool: the Kowalah plugin in Claude or ChatGPT, or the Kowalah connector on its own. Each one asks Kowalah for something it can actually do with your organisation’s data, so you get answers about your programme, not general advice. Not connected yet? Start with Connect Kowalah to your AI tool.

Prompts by role

Everyone

Updates, accelerators, raising ideas, answering a discovery, your training, your AI tools, logging a win.

AI leads

For admins and core team. Run a discovery, triage the backlog, take the shortlist forward, review the programme.

Process owners

Read the map, diagnose a process, redesign it, set the quality bar, build your model from documents.

Security reviewers

For infosec, data protection and IT. Review the connector and plugin for approval, and fill in the checklist.

How to get good answers

Your AI tool has lots of tools and connectors switched on. Starting with “Use Kowalah to…” makes sure it reaches for your organisation’s data instead of answering from general knowledge. With the plugin installed, the skills also switch on by themselves when the conversation fits.
Kowalah understands its own identifiers, so “What’s happening with OPP-0142?” or “Give me the status of PRJ-0007” goes straight to the right record. A name or a rough description works too, it just has to search first.
Kowalah asks before it changes anything: raising an opportunity, triaging a batch, editing a process, recording an outcome. It shows you what it’s about to do first. Check it, correct it, then confirm. For a batch, such as shortlisting ten ideas, it shows you the whole set before making any change.
Admins and core team see the whole programme and every opportunity. Members see the work they’re a stakeholder on and the opportunities they raised. Everyone can read the whole operating model, and what you can edit there depends on where you sit in it. If a prompt returns nothing for something you know exists, it’s usually a permission, not a missing record. See What your role changes.
The Kowalah plugin in Claude and ChatGPT includes the same 12 skills, such as process-diagnostic, raise-opportunity and programme-review. You don’t need to remember them; the prompts on these pages trigger them. To call one directly, type / in Claude and pick it. In Claude Code the skills are namespaced, for example /kowalah:programme-review. See Kowalah Plugin.

​
By department

A starting point for each function. Each one finds the friction in that team’s work, checks what Kowalah already has, and only then suggests something new.
Want something more tailored than a prompt, such as a skill built around your own deal process or month-end checklist? Raise it as an opportunity and your AI lead and Kowalah team can take it forward.
