  "supportingContext": "The analysis methodology involved pulling 30 days of prompts across ChatGPT and Claude, then categorizing them to identify repeating patterns. Each prompt type was anonymized and simplified to show the structural approach rather than specific content. The author provides a meta-prompt that readers can use to run the same analysis on their own conversation history, identifying task types, output formats, recurring workflows, and automation opportunities. This diagnostic approach reveals how users are building systems without explicitly recognizing them as automation, allowing for optimization and template creation. The article concludes with a specific audit prompt that groups conversations by task type, frequency, and optimization potential.",
