Prompting
I’m a prompt engineer, AI scenario creator, and editor specializing in interactive storytelling and custom system prompts. I turn creative ideas into structured instructions that guide AI behavior, maintain character consistency, and support immersive worlds where user choices matter. My work includes: * Custom system prompts: Defining AI roles, behavioral rules, response formats, and interaction boundaries. * Interactive simulations: Building branching scenarios, autonomous characters, world systems, and game mechanics. * Scenario editing: Refining prompts, resolving conflicting instructions, and strengthening narrative coherence. * Creator resources: Developing reusable templates, practical guides, and instructional content. I authored the DreamGen V2 Guide and System Prompting Guide: The Gold Standard for Beginners, helping creators translate their ideas into playable AI scenarios through practical guidance on characters, settings, plots, and prompting. As a retired U.S. Army officer and emergency preparedness professional, I bring structured thinking, attention to detail, and experience designing systems around complex requirements. Whether you need a scenario built from scratch or an existing prompt refined, I combine creative range with a clear, methodical approach.
