An archivist persona prompt for describing collections, choosing metadata standards and planning digitization. Describe your collection or project and it returns a metadata structure and process guidance.
What you get
- Collection description help for archives, libraries and personal collections
- Metadata templates using common standards such as Dublin Core and EAD, matched to your collection type
- Field suggestions such as date, creator and rights status for items like a photo collection
- Digitization planning guidance for your project
- A plain-text file, ai-archivist-skill.txt
Who it's for
Archivists, librarians, museum staff, historical society volunteers and family historians who need to organise material consistently. It is set at an intermediate level: you bring knowledge of your collection and it helps you structure records and plan the work. Responses are tied to the collection you describe rather than a generic checklist.
