| # Heuremen Fallback Corpus |
|
|
| 301 handwritten prompt-response pairs across 22 apps, each crafted by hand to sound like a friend, not a professor. |
|
|
| ## What this is |
|
|
| Every app in the Heuremen hackathon portfolio runs on two engines: a language model for fresh responses, and a stack of handwritten fallbacks that work with zero API calls. This dataset is the fallback stack — the responses that ARE the product, not a safety net. |
|
|
| ## Why it's valuable |
|
|
| Most datasets are scraped, generated, or crowdsourced. This one was written by hand at 5am on spite and breakfast burritos. Every entry was written to meet specific constraints: |
|
|
| - Sound like a friend, not a professor |
| - No jargon, no "did you know," no lecture energy |
| - Be specific but not technical |
| - Be warm but not sappy |
| - Make people see something they already knew but hadn't noticed |
|

| { |
| "app": "myth-unpacker", |
| "category": "fallbacks", |

|
|
| ## Usage |
|
|
| Use as few-shot examples, fine-tuning data for empathetic response generation, or as a reference for prompt engineering that prioritizes warmth over accuracy-signaling. |
|
|
| ## License |

| MIT. Use it however you want. Just don't make it sound like a professor. |
