This reminds me of Simon Willison’s rule, "I will not publish anything that takes someone else longer to read than it took me to write."

Among friends I’ll sometimes skip the rewrite and share a link with the prompt in it instead. As Dave Rupert mentioned, he wants the prompt because it shows the context you gave the machine and your understanding of the problem: "I’d rather have the original prompt so I can just ask the machine myself." It’s the least bad way to relay, not an alternative to doing the work. https://daverupert.com/2026/04/claude-no/
