10 CLAUDE PROMPTS INSPIRED BY HOW RICHARD FEYNMAN ACTUALLY EXPLAINED THINGS
Feynman could make a freshman understand quantum physics. His secret was never intelligence. It was a set of moves anyone can copy. Here they are, turned into prompts. Bookmark all 10.
1. The 10-Year-Old Test
"Explain [topic] to me as if I'm a smart 10-year-old. No jargon, no shortcuts. The moment you have to use a technical word, stop and explain that word too. If you can't make it simple, you don't understand it well enough yet."
This is the move Feynman built his whole reputation on. The forced simplicity exposes exactly where the explanation is hiding behind big words.
2. The First-Principles Strip
"Take [topic] and break it down to its most basic truths, the things that have to be true no matter what. Build the explanation back up only from those. Don't tell me what people say about it. Tell me why it works from the ground."
Feynman refused to accept an idea until he could rebuild it himself from the floor up. This makes Claude do the same.
3. The One Thing Everyone Gets Wrong
"What is the single most common misconception about [topic]? Explain why it feels true, why it's actually wrong, and what the correct picture looks like instead."
The fastest way to understand something is to find the trap most people fall into. Feynman taught by attacking the wrong answer first.
4. The Hidden Assumption Hunt
"Here's my understanding of [topic]: [paste it]. What assumption am I making that I haven't noticed I'm making? Point to the thing I'm treating as obvious that actually isn't."
Feynman's gift was spotting the unexamined belief sitting underneath everyone's reasoning. This turns that on your own thinking.
5. The Teach-It-Back Trap
"I'm going to explain [topic] to you. [Write your explanation.] Now find every gap, every place I hand-waved, every spot where I clearly don't actually know what I'm talking about. Be ruthless."
Feynman said you only know something once you can teach it. This makes Claude the student who catches you faking it.
6. The Concrete Picture
"Don't define [topic] in the abstract. Give me a specific, physical, real-world image I can see in my head that makes the idea obvious. If it has no picture, it has no meaning."
Feynman thought in pictures and sensations, never in empty abstractions. This forces the idea into something you can actually visualize.
7. The Why-Does-It-Work Chain
"Explain [topic], and after every step, I want you to answer 'but why does that happen?' Keep going down the chain until you hit something that genuinely cannot be explained further. Show me the bottom."
Feynman was famous for his "why" interviews, refusing to stop at the surface answer. This drives Claude all the way down.
8. The Analogy Builder
"Find an analogy for [topic] from a completely different field, something physical and familiar. Then tell me exactly where the analogy holds and, more importantly, exactly where it breaks. A good analogy you can't poke holes in is just a lie."
Feynman used analogies constantly but always knew their limits. The breaking point is where the real understanding lives.
9. The Pretend You Just Discovered It
"Explain [topic] as if you just figured it out yourself for the first time and you're excited to show me. Skip the textbook framing. Tell me what made it click and why it's beautiful."
Feynman taught with the joy of discovery, not the boredom of recitation. This pulls the wonder back into a dry subject.
10. The Notebook Confession
"What part of [topic] do you, the explainer, find genuinely confusing or unresolved? Don't pretend it's all clean. Show me the messy edge where even the experts argue."
Feynman kept a list titled 'Things I Don't Know.' The honest edge of a topic is where the most interesting thinking happens. This finds it.
Feynman's genius was never that he knew more. It was that he refused to fool himself. These prompts make Claude refuse to fool you.

HERMES JUST FIXED THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH AI AGENTS
Instead of loading a bloated toolbox you never asked for, your agent can now start almost completely empty.
Blank Slate Mode:
→ Starts with only the model, files and terminal
→ Keeps 12 major capabilities switched off by default
→ Loads nothing you didn’t personally choose
Why this matters:
✓ Fewer tool definitions means fewer tokens wasted per call
✓ A smaller tool surface gives the agent fewer ways to make unwanted actions
✓ Your configuration survives future Hermes updates
You can create separate profiles for SEO, coding, video workflows or client work—then only enable the tools each profile actually needs.
Already running a fully loaded agent?
Use `hermes tools` to disable capabilities without starting again.
The best AI agent isn’t the one with the most tools.
It’s the one that only has the tools required for the job.
If you’re hunting for a remote job, you just need to figure out how Reddit works, and you’ll never be unemployed for a long time.

One skill I will always recommend to anyone with a laptop and internet connection is Cyber Security.
Every company in the world, small or large, needs someone to protect their digital assets. Banks, hospitals, startups, government agencies, all of them are hiring cyber security experts and paying very well in dollars (Over $70,000 annually).
You do not need a degree to start. You need the right platforms, the right certifications and consistency.
How to get started:
1. Go to Google or apple playstore.
- Download Cousera.
- Take the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. Google built this specifically for beginners with no experience. It is affordable and globally recognised.
2. TryHackMe: This is the best starting point for beginners. It teaches you cyber security hands-on through real life labs and challenges. Visit tryhackme. com and start the free path immediately.
3. Cisco Networking Academy. Free courses directly from Cisco covering networking and cyber security fundamentals. Visit netacad. com to enrol.
Acquire any of these certifications:
1. CompTIA Security+: The baseline certification most employers look for in cyber security. It covers risk management, network security, identity management and incident response. Start here.
2. After that, go for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) which focuses on penetration testing and is one of the most respected certifications in the industry globally.
You can also learn cyber security via these YouTube channels to follow:
1. Professor Messer. Best free resource for CompTIA Security+ preparation. Everything is broken down simply.
2. NetworkChuck. Covers cyber security, networking and ethical hacking in a very practical and entertaining way. Perfect for beginners.
3. David Bombal. Advanced but very detailed. Great for when you are past the basics.
Once you have at least one certification, go to LinkedIn and set your profile up properly. Turn on "Open to Work" and filter for remote cyber security roles.
Also check Indeed Nigeria, Glassdoor Nigeria and platforms like RemoteRocketship and WeWorkRemotely for international remote roles that accept Nigerian applicants.
Cyber security is one of the highest paying remote roles available to Nigerians today, with global average salaries ranging from $70,000 upward per year. That is over ₦100 million annually at current exchange rates.
The laptop is already in your hands.
Above all, love God.
A woman was convinced her phone was hacked. She talked about a niche brand of coffee out loud, and 10 minutes later, an ad for it appeared on her Instagram.
Her battery was draining, and the green "camera" dot kept randomly flashing. She went to the carrier store to completely wipe her data and buy a brand new phone.
The tech worker stopped her: "Before you spend $1,200, let me show you something."
He opened her Settings and shook his head.
"You aren't hacked. There are 8 'legal spyware' settings harvesting your data right now. Apps turn them on by default. Let's shut them down."
Here is what he showed her in the next 8 minutes. 🧵
