Hörni, I built a prompt I call The Socratic Sous Vide.
Try it. It's a different kind of AI conversation.

But this post isn't really about that prompt. It's about where it lives.

I just launched an MVP called Prompt Pantry. The idea is simple: most people treat prompts like a library. Find the right one, copy-paste, done. Frozen dinners.

I wanted a kitchen instead.

A place where you stock reusable ingredients (who should the AI be, what's the context, what voice, what format, what boundaries), combine them into recipes, taste and adjust, and share what works with others.

Five shelves. Five questions. That's the whole framework.

The Socratic Sous Vide is one recipe. The Community Cookbook is where anyone can publish theirs. Fork it, remix it, make it your own.

Why a kitchen and not a library? Because a library gives you answers. A kitchen teaches you to cook. And as AI gets more capable, the bottleneck isn't the technology. It's whether you know what you're trying to make before you turn on the stove.

It's an MVP. Rough edges and all. But the pantry is open. Let's get cookin'
