How to use skill cards: hand a whole task to the AI
Most Promptpan cards make one image. Skill cards are different: they hand over a task. Replying to customer reviews, writing a blog post, planning a month of shop posts. These are jobs that eat time every week, and a skill card sets the AI up to do them step by step.
This guide covers the two kinds of skill card, how to use each, and what to check before you use the result. Tap "Skills" in the categories on the home page to see only skill cards.
There are two kinds of skill card
| Kind | Example cards | How to use |
|---|---|---|
| One-button cards | Review replies, shop Instagram captions, monthly shop social plan | Fill the fields and tap "Open GPT" or "Open Claude" |
| Settings cards | Operating Brain | Paste once into your AI's settings and it applies to every chat |
Most skill cards are the first kind. The second kind doesn't do one job; it sets how the AI answers you all the time, so you only set it up once.
One-button cards: fill, tap, send
Take the review reply card as an example.
- Paste the customer's review into the card's field, and fill any other fields it asks for, like your shop name.
- Tap "Open GPT". The prompt is copied and a new ChatGPT window opens. If the card also offers "Open Claude", that works too.
- Check the "copied" notice, paste into the new window's message box and send.
You get what the card promises. For review replies, that's three replies at once: short, medium and thoughtful. Reviews written in another language get a reply in that customer's language.
If no new window opens, your phone or browser probably blocked the pop-up. Open ChatGPT yourself and paste the copied prompt into the message box; it works the same way. Free accounts work too, with a daily limit. OpenAI's free tier FAQ
Settings cards: set once, done
Cards like Operating Brain don't go into a chat. They go into your AI's settings, so every new chat follows them without pasting again.
- ChatGPT: Settings โ Personalization โ Custom instructions. Paste and save.
- Claude: Settings โ General โ instructions for Claude. Paste and save.
If you already have custom instructions, don't delete them; add the new text below. If the two contradict each other, tidy one of them up. Menu names can differ slightly between app versions, so follow the steps shown on the card as well. To undo it, simply clear that box.
Check the result before you use it
Skill cards finish the work fast, but the final check is yours. Go through this table each time.
| Result | What to check |
|---|---|
| Review replies | The dishes, staff and times the customer mentioned are right; no promises of compensation you can't keep |
| Captions and hashtags | Prices and offer dates match reality; no unrelated hashtags slipped in |
| Monthly social plan | Days off and event dates match your real calendar |
| Blog posts | Numbers, benefits and comparisons are true; anything that needs a source has one |
For food or health topics, watch for exaggerated claims. A plausible line the AI added can break advertising rules where you live. To change something, say it briefly in the same chat: "Make the second reply a little shorter," or "Change the offer end date to October 31."
Who skill cards suit
- Shop owners: cut down weekly chores like review replies, captions and monthly post plans.
- Bloggers: give a topic and get an outline, a full draft and prompts for the images in one go.
- Daily AI users: a settings card like Operating Brain tunes every answer to your work.
Frequently asked questions
Are skill cards free? Yes. Every Promptpan card is free, and ChatGPT and Claude both have free accounts, with usage limits.
GPT or Claude? Each card shows a recommendation. If it shows none or both, use whichever you prefer. If you don't like a result, trying the other one is a good move.
Can I run the same review more than once? Yes. Each run gives slightly different replies, and you can mix the sentences you like.
Can I post the result as it is? Check it first. Prices, dates and anything you promise must match your shop's real situation.
If you're new, start with the review reply card. It's the quickest way to feel how a skill card works.
