About Prompts for Progress

I’m Kevin Connolly, and Prompts for Progress is a personal project to make AI-assisted work in mathematics and the sciences easier to find, inspect, and learn from.

The project grew out of an essay I wrote, “SETI for AI-Assisted Research”. Research attempts are increasingly happening through AI systems, but their prompts, workflows, failures, and intermediate lessons are often scattered or never documented. This archive is a small effort to improve that record.

About me

My background is in physics research, and I now work in the technology sector. I remain interested in how new tools might make serious research more open, legible, and collaborative. This archive is one small experiment in that direction.

Questions, corrections, and suggestions are welcome. You can reach me at hbar@uw.edu or @wintercarver on X.
