Get current URL

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

I need the full URL of the current page so I can log where the user initiated this action.

Before I send this analytics event, get me the current URL, but clean it up by removing any sensitive query parameters like 'password' or 'token' so we don't accidentally log private data.

The user is reporting an error, but I don't know which specific page they are on.
A user just reported an error, but their screenshot doesn't show the full URL, and I can't reproduce it. I'm afraid I'll spend hours guessing which page it happened on. I need to get the current URL, but I also need to know if it has any dynamic parts that might be causing the issue, like a specific item ID. What's the best way to capture the current URL and also identify if it contains any specific query parameters that might be relevant to the bug?

I keep having to manually parse URLs to extract specific parameters or paths for different functions.
I'm always extracting parts of the current URL – the domain for API calls, a specific ID from the path for data fetching, or query parameters for analytics. It feels like I'm reinventing the wheel every time. What's a better habit to change so I can more efficiently and reliably get specific components of the current URL without writing custom parsing logic each time?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from JavaScript's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
