Turn a process into a team playbook
Builds a practical playbook for a recurring situation: when to use it, the plays, who does what, scripts, templates, and what good looks like.
The prompt
Turn the process below into a playbook my team can run.
Process or situation: [e.g. "onboarding a new enterprise client", "handling a product recall", "running quarterly planning"]
How we do it today: [PASTE steps, notes, past examples, or existing docs]
Team and roles involved: [ROLES]
What goes wrong today: [common failures or delays]
Tools we use: [e.g. Teams, Jira, Salesforce, Excel]
The playbook should include:
1. Purpose and trigger - when to use this playbook and when not to.
2. Roles - a RACI-style table of who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed.
3. The plays - phases in order. For each: goal, steps, owner, timing, inputs, outputs, and the "done" check.
4. Decision points - where the team must choose a path, and the criteria.
5. Scripts and templates - the key messages, emails, or meeting agendas needed, drafted briefly.
6. Variations - how the playbook changes for common scenarios (e.g. small vs. large client, urgent vs. normal).
7. Pitfalls - what usually goes wrong and how to prevent it.
8. Measures - 3-5 metrics that show the playbook is working.
9. Review - who owns the playbook and when it gets updated.
Keep it practical and scannable. Base it on our process; mark any step you added from general practice as (suggested) and any missing detail as [CONFIRM].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the Few-Shot structure (Few-shot prompting). A few-shot prompt includes one or more worked examples of the input and the output you want, so the model can copy the pattern instead of guessing it.
