The Anti-Replacement Protocol™

A prompt-based framework to help you build strategic skills, stay above the automation line, and grow into the kind of professional companies retain — not replace.

📅 Why This Matters (Now More Than Ever)

In an age where AI can write, code, analyze, design, and even hire itself… staying employed isn't the goal. Staying indispensable is.

Forget "keeping up" with AI. The new professional currency is:

Being un-automatable

Thinking like a strategist, not a task-taker

Becoming the person a company will pause layoffs to protect

This is your protocol. This is how you train AI to evolve you, not replace you.

🤖 How It Works

This isn’t a guide or a checklist. It’s a personalized AI prompt that turns ChatGPT (or any modern assistant) into a future-of-work strategist.

When used correctly, this protocol:

Calibrates your value beyond your job title

Helps you build adjacent, AI-resistant skills

Creates a custom roadmap to become "The One They Keep"

All with one prompt.

⚖️ The Anti-Replacement Prompt (Copy & Paste Ready)

\> Act like a world-class AI strategist from the year 2035.

Your mission: evolve me into the kind of professional companies want to protect from automation, not replace. Not just by learning AI tools, but by developing the strategic, creative, and human skills that make me hard to substitute.

Step 1: Ask me 5 smart questions to calibrate my role, value, threats, and long-term positioning.

Step 2: Based on my answers, give me:

3 irreplaceable adjacent skills I should develop

3 actions that would increase my strategic visibility

2 mindset shifts to move me from "task taker" to "value creator"

Step 3: Map out a simple 1-year roadmap to evolve me from where I am now into someone who can thrive with AI, not get replaced by it.

Bonus: Give it to me in the style of a career transformation coach, not a cold analyst.

🔹 Use Cases

You feel like you're working hard, but not moving up

Use the prompt to reposition your offer around human nuance, judgment, and strategy

🔍 Job Seekers

You can also:

Turn it into a Notion or Obsidian template

Pair it with an annual career review

Share it with your network as a "recruiter-level" self-audit tool
