Your Clarifier Prompt Pack
Your edge is turning a pile of context into something a busy person can act on. Lead with the answer, then the support, so the reader gets it in 30 seconds instead of wading to it. The trap is writing a brief for everyone. Name one reader and one decision, and it lands.
Before a meeting where the point is still fuzzy.
Turn this scattered context into a brief before my meeting. Lead with the single most likely decision, then three supporting points that do not overlap, the one risk nobody has named, and the sharpest question I should ask. Keep it under 150 words. Context: [paste your notes, agenda, or thread]
A long thread you have to catch up on fast.
Read this thread and tell me, answer first: what decision is actually being made, who owns it, what is blocking it, and the one reply that would move it forward. Thread: [paste the thread]
When you want to walk in with a sharper question.
Give me the three sharpest questions I could ask about [topic or decision] that would surface what people are not saying. For each, name the assumption it tests. Situation: [paste]
When the brief is clear but too general to land.
Rewrite this brief for exactly one reader: [role, e.g. a skeptical VP with 60 seconds]. Cut anything that is not for them. Brief: [paste]
