## Prompt

```text
Turn our existing materials into an onboarding guide for someone joining my team.

**Role joining:** [e.g. "junior financial analyst"]
**Team and what we do:** [SHORT DESCRIPTION]
**Materials:** [PASTE or list documents, wiki pages, process docs, slides, glossaries, org charts - with titles]
**What new hires struggle with most:** [e.g. "our acronyms", "knowing who to ask", "the month-end process"]
**First-month goals:** [what they should be able to do by day 30]

Build the guide:
1. **Welcome and the big picture** - what the team does, who our customers or stakeholders are, and how this role contributes.
2. **Week-by-week plan** for the first 30 days: what to read (from my materials, in priority order), who to meet, what to practice, and a small task to complete each week.
3. **Must-read vs. read later** - sort every document I gave you, with one line on why it matters.
4. **Key processes** - a short summary of each core process, with a link to the source document.
5. **Glossary** - acronyms and team terms found in the materials.
6. **Who to ask for what** - based on the materials; leave [ADD NAME] where unclear.
7. **Self-check questions** - 8-10 questions a new hire should be able to answer by day 30.
8. **Gaps** - topics a new hire will need that my materials don't cover.

Use only what's in the materials for processes and facts; flag anything that looks outdated as [CHECK IF CURRENT].
