# Starter prompts

The moment you connect, here's what's worth trying first.

These prompts are grouped by what you’re trying to get done. Pick whichever one matches what you’re working on. No code, no need to know the Phrase API.

You can't accidentally break anything here. Your AI assistant can only create or change data if you explicitly granted that when you connected. Everything below is safe to try. If in doubt, check what you allowed in your Phrase profile settings, under the Consents tab.

Before you start, make sure you've picked the right organization and access level when you connected. See [connecting Phrase to your AI tools](/en/mcp-server) if you need to check.

## Get oriented

*First prompt, first win. Confirms the connection works and shows Phrase talking back.*

**See what's connected**

```text theme={null}
List my 5 most recently updated Phrase projects
```

Pulls a short, recent slice of your projects rather than everything you have access to. Confirms you're connected and pointed at the right organization, without a slow, oversized first response.

## Start building

*Now for the good part: things that used to need a ticket to engineering, or just didn't get done. One line, no queue, no waiting.*

**Terminology audit**

```text theme={null}
How many times did we use 'can't' vs 'cannot' across [project name]?
```

Searches your whole project for both terms and gives you a count.

**Placeholder mismatch check**

```text theme={null}
Check [job name] for target locales where placeholders don't match the English source, and give me a prioritized list
```

Compares placeholders across every target language against the source and returns a ranked list of mismatches. Catches a broken placeholder, like a missing {name} tag, before it ships. Run it weekly and it's a standing quality gate, no engineering needed.

**Automated GitHub pipeline**

```text theme={null}
When a new content batch is pushed to [GitHub repo], trigger a Phrase job, assign [MT engine], and notify [Slack channel] once it's done
```

No one has to remember to start this, and no one has to be involved for it to run.

**Deadline watch**

```text theme={null}
Monitor all active TMS jobs due in the next 48 hours, and message me if any don't have a linguist assigned
```

Checks due dates and linguist assignments across active jobs, and only messages you if something's missing. A standing watch, not a one-time check.

**Stale job check**

```text theme={null}
List all jobs that haven't been updated in the last year
```

Surfaces jobs with no recent activity, so stale work doesn't sit forgotten until someone asks about it.

**Reassign ownership**

```text theme={null}
Reassign all of [name]'s live projects to [new owner]
```

Moves ownership across every active project in one step. Useful if someone’s away and the work still needs to move.

**Bulk key update**

```text theme={null}
Update these 300 keys with the values from this spreadsheet, across [languages]
```

Matches the keys in your spreadsheet to the ones already in the project and updates them in bulk.

## A note on permissions

If a prompt above doesn't work, it's usually because it needs access you didn't grant when you connected (see above), not a bug.

## Didn't find what you needed?

These prompts are starting points, not a full list. Once you're comfortable, just describe what you're trying to do in your own words. Your AI assistant will work out which Phrase actions it needs.

Once you land on a prompt that works well, save it and share it with your team. A small shared library of prompts that actually work is one of the fastest ways to get everyone using this well.

## Found a great use case, or hit a wall?

Tell us. This page grows from real examples, several of the prompts above came directly from customers who tried something and it worked. If you've got one worth sharing, or a prompt that should work but doesn't, let us know via the [Phrase Help Center](https://support.phrase.com/hc/requests/new).
