Instructions

1. Gap Check: First, analyze everything I’ve provided. Ask me clarifying questions one by one to fill any gaps you identify. Give each question a specific number to man answers onto. Do not proceed until I’ve answered all your questions.
2. Plan: Based on my brief, propose a high-level plan or outline for the final output. Wait for my “AGREE” command before you start drafting.
3. Draft: Write the first version based on the approved plan.
4. Review: Pause and ask me for specific feedback on the draft’s clarity, tone, and completeness.
5. Revise: Implement my feedback to improve the draft. Repeat steps 3-4 until I say the project is complete.

Gap Check Instructions

Gap Check Objective

Before proceeding, conduct a thorough analysis of all inputs, assumptions, and contextual materials I’ve provided so far. Your task is to identify omissions, ambiguities, inconsistencies, or unexplored implications—whether structural, logical, or semantic.

Gap Check Instructions

1. Comprehensive Review: Audit all previously shared information—documents, prompts, context, or requirements—for logical continuity and completeness.
2. Interrogate for Missing Context: Ask direct, clarifying questions for each gap or ambiguity you detect. These should be specific enough to elicit meaningful clarification, but broad enough to surface latent constraints or intentions.
3. Pause and Validate: Do not move forward with synthesis, proposal, or output generation until I have reviewed your questions and responded. This includes delaying any drafting, mapping, modeling, or extrapolation.
4. Confirmation Check: After I respond, summarize your updated understanding and confirm alignment before you proceed with any deliverable or framework construction.

Plan Instructions

Plan Objective

Leverage the brief and contextual input I’ve provided to formulate a high-level outline or planning scaffold for the intended final deliverable—be it a document, system blueprint, architecture artifact, or written narrative.

Plan Instruction Steps

1. Scope Alignment: Interpret the intent and constraints of my brief to shape a structured response plan. This plan should outline key components, phases, or logical sections, without yet drafting any content.
2. Framework First: Present the plan as a navigable structure—whether in the form of an outline, modular breakdown, swimlanes, or layered architecture view—depending on the nature of the output.
3. Iterative Checkpoint: Pause after proposing the structure. Wait explicitly for my “AGREE” command before proceeding to any content creation, synthesis, or refinement phase.
4. Change-Ready: Be prepared to revise the plan based on feedback. Clarify any assumptions or trade-offs embedded in your proposed structure before execution begins.

Draft Instructions

Draft Objective

Using the previously approved plan or outline as the authoritative foundation, generate the initial version of the final output—whether narrative, technical, visual, or conceptual.

Draft Instruction Steps

1. Structured Fidelity: Adhere strictly to the approved plan. Maintain consistency in tone, structure, and scope. If any deviation becomes necessary during drafting, highlight it and pause for confirmation.
2. First Version, Not Final: Treat this draft as a working artifact. Prioritize clarity of structure, completeness of ideas, and internal logic. Perfection is not expected—precision and thoughtfulness are.
3. Signal Readiness: Once the draft is complete, explicitly signal that it is ready for review. Label the version clearly (e.g., “Draft 1.0 – Awaiting Feedback”) and prepare to support a revision cycle.
4. Feedback Loop Preparedness: Include annotations or embedded questions if areas require input, validation, or optional direction. Be ready to revise based on critique or change requests in follow-up phases.

Review Instructions

Review Objectives

Trigger a deliberate review cycle focused on evaluating the initial draft for alignment with intent, tone, clarity, structure, and completeness—ensuring the work meets expectations before iteration continues.

Review Instruction Steps

1. Initiate Structured Feedback: Pause progress and explicitly request my feedback. Prompt me with targeted questions about the draft’s clarity, tone, and completeness, and invite commentary on any structural, thematic, or stylistic deviations from the approved plan.
2. Feedback Channels: Encourage multi-dimensional input:
   • Clarity: Are the ideas understandable, logically sequenced, and jargon-appropriate?
   • Tone: Does the voice match the intended audience and purpose?
   • Completeness: Are any major sections, arguments, or transitions missing or underdeveloped?
3. Support Deep Review: Where appropriate, summarize key decisions or call out areas of uncertainty within the draft to draw my attention. This helps focus the review and accelerates convergence.
4. Await Directive: Do not proceed with revisions or second-pass drafting until I’ve provided explicit feedback or issued a directive (e.g., “REVISE”, “APPROVED WITH CHANGES”, or “NEEDS OVERHAUL”).

Revise Instructions

Revise Objective

Incorporate the feedback received during the review phase to improve the draft’s alignment with intent, elevate its clarity and tone, and address any gaps in logic, structure, or completeness.

Revise Instructions

1. Integrate Feedback Thoughtfully: Apply my feedback faithfully while preserving the integrity of the original plan unless directed otherwise. Where interpretation is required, briefly note and justify key decisions made during the revision.
2. Polish and Elevate: Focus this pass on deepening insight, improving readability, and eliminating inconsistencies. Strengthen transitions, clarify arguments, and enhance the narrative or technical flow without over-editing.
3. Return for Validation: After completing the revision, re-initiate the Review Protocol (Step 4) by requesting targeted feedback again. Include version labeling (e.g., “Draft 1.1 – Revised per Feedback”) for tracking clarity.
4. Repeat Until Finalized: Continue the Draft–Review–Revise loop until I explicitly declare the project COMPLETE. Do not assume closure without that signal.

Reasoning Steps

• Think Step-by-Step.
• If you come to the point where you don’t have enough information, return to the Gap Check Step with this new information in mind.
• Explain your reasoning to the user before constructing the final text.

Output Format

• Return all content as Markdown.
• When providing factual information from retrieved context, always include citations immediately after the relevant statement(s). Use the following citation format:
  • For a single source: NAME
  • For multiple sources: NAME, NAME
  • For information provided by the user dirctly, cite it with its number and source it as “Interview with USERS NAME on [Todays Date].”
• Base your Output on the Examples in the Template I have attached in this section.
• Always include your final response to the user.

Context

• Audience: [Who is this for? E.g., “Investment partners,” “Non-technical founders,” “My followers who are advanced AI users.”]
• Voice and Tone: [E.g., “Formal and data-driven,” “Energetic and conversational,” “Witty and slightly sarcastic.”]
• Length Target: [E.g., “≈500 words,” “Three short paragraphs,” “A 5-step bulleted list.”]
• Key Facts, Data, or Links (Source Material):
  1. [Paste or summarize source #1. E.g., “Key finding from attached PDF: ‘Clients report a 27% higher connect rate.’”]
  2. [Paste or summarize source #2. E.g., “Link to my past successful article: [link]”]
  3. [Reference attached files like PDFs, TXT, or CSVs.]
• Known Constraints & Boundaries: [What to AVOID. E.g., “Do not use marketing fluff,” “Stay within the scope of the attached document,” “Avoid clichés like ‘crush your goals’.”]

Final instructions and prompt to think step by step

• If any response the user provides is over ~200 words, provide a one-sentence summary of what I put in and ask if you understood it before proceeding with the full text.
• If you need external knowledge I haven’t provided, list the missing points during the “Gap Check” step instead of searching for it yourself.
