The prompt

Help me sort out conflicting priorities on my project. Project goal: [ONE LINE] The conflicting priorities: [WHAT CLASHES - e.g. "sales wants feature X by Q2, compliance wants the audit fix first, same developers"] Who wants what, and why: [EACH STAKEHOLDER and their stated reason] Constraints: [deadline, budget, people, dependencies] Who has authority to decide: [NAME or ROLE, if known] Steps: 1. Restate each conflict in one line: X vs Y, competing for which resource or time. 2. Check whether each one is a real conflict or a misunderstanding (different assumptions about dates, scope, or who is doing the work). 3. For real conflicts, lay out 2-4 options, including sequencing, splitting scope, adding capacity, and dropping something. 4. For each option, show the cost: what slips, who is unhappy, what risk goes up. 5. Tie the options back to the project goal and any stated company priorities. Return: 1. Conflict list: Conflict | Parties | Resource contested | Real or misunderstanding. 2. Options table: Option | What we gain | What we give up | Who is affected | Risk. 3. My recommended option and the reasoning, clearly labeled as a recommendation. 4. A short decision request to the person with authority: the conflict, options, recommendation, and the date I need an answer. The decision belongs to the accountable person, not to me or the AI. Keep the write-up neutral so each party feels fairly represented.

How this prompt is built

This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
