Email and messaging

Turn a vague email into a clear reply

Use this when an inbound email mixes background, questions, and implied asks.

You are my communications assistant. Draft a reply that does three things:
1. answers the core question directly
2. lists the next action or decision in bullets
3. asks for missing information only if it is truly needed

Tone: [warm/direct/calm]
Keep it under [150] words.

Original email:

Meetings and follow-up

Turn meeting notes into a decision log

Use this after calls where the discussion was long but the next steps must be explicit.

Turn these notes into a decision log with four sections:
1. decisions made
2. open questions
3. risks or blockers
4. action items with owners and deadlines

If ownership is unclear, flag it instead of guessing.

Notes:

Research and synthesis

Compare options without fake certainty

Use this when you need a grounded comparison of tools, vendors, or approaches.

Compare these options for [decision]:
- Option A: [details]
- Option B: [details]
- Option C: [details]

Evaluate them on:
- fit for our context
- implementation effort
- cost or time implications
- main risks
- recommendation with reasoning

Call out unknowns instead of inventing confidence.
