[PASTE YOUR NOTES HERE]

Please:
1. Write a 2-3 sentence summary of what was decided
2. Extract every action item as a bullet: who owns it and what the deadline is (if mentioned)
3. List any open questions that weren't resolved
4. Flag anything that sounds like a risk or blocker

Format it cleanly so I can paste it into an email or Slack.

Tone: [formal / conversational / direct]

Bullets:
- [BULLET 1]
- [BULLET 2]
- [BULLET 3]

05

Research Brief on Any Topic

Use when: Before a meeting, call, or decision where you need fast background

Give me a structured briefing on [TOPIC]. I need to understand it well enough to [WHAT YOU'LL USE IT FOR — e.g., ask informed questions in a meeting / write a report / make a decision].

Cover:
- What it is and why it matters (2-3 sentences)
- The 3-5 most important things to know
- Key players, companies, or names I should recognize
- What's changing or debated right now
- One thing most people get wrong about this

Write for a smart generalist who knows nothing about this specific topic.
06

Weekly Status Update Email

Use when: Every Friday to your manager or team

Write a professional weekly status update email from these notes:

My role: [YOUR ROLE]
This week I worked on:
- [TASK 1]
- [TASK 2]
- [TASK 3]

Completed: [WHAT GOT DONE]
Blocked on: [ANYTHING STUCK — or "nothing"]
Next week I'm focused on: [PRIORITIES]

Make it concise (under 150 words), professional but not stiff. Start with the most important thing, not "Here's my update."

Brainstorm Starter

Use when: When you're stuck and need to generate options fast

Give me 20 specific ideas for [CHALLENGE OR GOAL].

Context: [2-3 sentences on your situation, constraints, and what you've already tried]

Rules for the ideas:
- Each should be concrete enough that I could act on it today
- Mix obvious ideas with a few unusual ones
- Don't explain each one — just the idea in 1-2 sentences
- Number them

After the list, tell me which 3 you'd start with and why.
08

Feedback Request Email

Use when: When you need specific feedback, not vague impressions

Write a professional email requesting feedback on [WHAT — a project, document, decision, presentation, etc.].

To: [RECIPIENT AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO YOU]
What I'm sharing: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]
What I specifically want feedback on: [2-3 specific questions or aspects]
Deadline for their response: [DATE OR "whenever is convenient"]

Make it easy for them to say yes. Keep it under 100 words. Don't be apologetic.

Topic: [TOPIC]
Audience: [WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW]
Goal: [WHAT I WANT THEM TO THINK, FEEL, OR DO AFTER]
Time: [LENGTH IN MINUTES]
Format: [SLIDES / TALK / WORKSHOP]

For each section, give me:
- The section title
- The 2-3 points to cover
- One transition sentence that connects it to the next section

End with a strong closing that gives the audience one clear thing to take away.
10

Professional Bio Rewrite

Use when: Updating LinkedIn, a speaker profile, or any about page

Rewrite my professional bio to sound more compelling. Keep the facts accurate but make it read like a human wrote it — not a corporate template.

Current bio or key facts about me:
[PASTE YOUR CURRENT BIO OR BULLET POINTS ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND]

Tone: [confident and direct / warm and approachable / authoritative and expert]
Audience: [WHO WILL READ THIS — potential clients, employers, conference attendees, etc.]
Length: [SHORT: 2-3 sentences / MEDIUM: 1 paragraph / LONG: full bio]

Don't start with my name. Don't use "passionate about" or "dedicated to." Make the first sentence interesting enough that someone would keep reading.
11

Decision Analysis

Use when: Before a significant decision — especially one you're overthinking

Help me think through this decision clearly:

Decision: [WHAT YOU'RE DECIDING]
Options I'm considering: [LIST THEM]
Key constraints: [TIME, MONEY, PEOPLE, OTHER FACTORS]
What matters most to me in this outcome: [YOUR PRIORITIES]

Please:
1. Identify any option I might be overlooking
2. For each option: what's the best case, worst case, and most likely outcome
3. What information would most change your analysis if I had it?
4. Your honest take on which option looks strongest, and why

Don't hedge. Tell me what you actually think.

What they agreed to do: [THEIR ACTION ITEMS — if any]
Next step: [NEXT MEETING DATE / WHAT HAPPENS NEXT]

Keep it under 100 words. Be specific. Don't summarize the entire meeting — just confirm the decisions and next steps. End with the clearest next action.
