```text
Make a one-page, large-print cheat sheet of AI prompts for my [YOUR PARENT, e.g. 74-year-old dad]. About them: [THEIR DAILY LIFE, e.g. retired, gardens, uses an iPad]. What trips them up: [THEIR PAIN POINTS, e.g. scam texts, Medicare letters, TV remote]. They'll use [THEIR AI APP, e.g. Claude on an iPad].

Write 7 short prompts they can copy, each with a one-line heading saying when to use it. Cover: checking if a message is a scam, explaining a confusing letter or bill, fixing a tech problem step by step, comparing two things to buy, writing a polite email, and two that fit their hobbies. Use friendly, plain words. Add 3 safety rules at the bottom, like never sharing passwords or full account numbers with AI.
