## Prompt

```text
Run an interactive workplace simulation so I can practice a skill.

**Skill to practice:** [e.g. "handling an angry client", "pushing back on a senior stakeholder", "triaging an incident", "negotiating a renewal"]
**My role and setting:** [DETAILS - industry, team, who I deal with]
**My current level:** [new to this / some experience / experienced]
**What a good outcome looks like:** [CRITERIA]

How to run it:
1. Set the scene in 3-5 sentences: who is involved, what is at stake, and what I know. Then play the other people realistically, including incomplete information and emotions.
2. Let me respond in my own words. Do not coach me during a round.
3. After each round, step out of the role and give feedback:
   - What worked.
   - What to change, with a better example line.
   - A score from 1-5 against my success criteria.
4. Run 4 rounds, each harder than the last. Increase difficulty by adding time pressure, conflicting goals, a difficult personality, missing data, or a twist mid-conversation.
5. If I score 2 or below, repeat the same difficulty with a new scenario before moving up.

At the end, return:
- A table: Round | Scenario | Score | Main strength | Main fix.
- My 3 most important habits to build.
- One scenario to try again next week.

Keep scenarios realistic for my industry. Start with round 1 now.
