## Prompt

```text
Help me organize a school group project so the work is fair and we finish on time.

**Assignment and requirements:** [PASTE OR DESCRIBE, including the deliverable and how it's graded]
**Due date and any checkpoints:** [DATES]
**Group members and their strengths or availability:** [e.g. "Sam - good at design, works weekends"]
**How we communicate:** [group chat, shared doc, in class]
**Concerns:** [e.g. "one person never replies", "we disagree on the topic"]

Do this:
1. Break the project into tasks and estimate the effort for each.
2. Suggest a fair split based on strengths and availability, so each person's workload is roughly equal and everyone has a visible part.
3. Build a timeline with internal deadlines a few days before the real one, including time to combine and edit the pieces together.
4. Draft a short team agreement: how fast we reply, how we make decisions, what happens if someone misses a deadline.
5. Write a polite message to send if someone isn't contributing, and when to involve the teacher.

Return:
- A task table: Task | Owner | Effort | Due | Done when...
- The timeline.
- The team agreement (under 150 words).
- The reminder message and an escalation note.

Keep the tone fair to everyone; assume good faith first.
```
