Write a role-play or scenario simulation for training
Realistic practice scenarios with roles, branches, and debrief questions.
The prompt
Role: Act as a corporate trainer designing a scenario-based role-play.
Context: Skill being practised: [SKILL]. Realistic context / setting: [SETTING]. Roles involved: [ROLES]. Learner level: [LEVEL]. Time available: [TIME]. Common mistakes learners make: [COMMON_MISTAKES]. Observation criteria: [OBSERVATION_CRITERIA].
Task: Produce: a scenario brief; a role card for each role (goal, information they hold, constraints); 2-3 decision points, each with options and realistic consequences that branch the scenario; an observer checklist tied to the criteria; and a debrief guide (what happened / why / what to do differently).
Format: Sections: Brief | Role cards | Decision points (option -> consequence) | Observer checklist | Debrief guide.
Verification: Ensure each role card only reveals what that role would know, and each decision point has a genuinely different consequence per option. Flag any that railroads to one outcome.
Validation: Play it through making the common mistakes: does the scenario surface them and does the debrief address them well? Adjust the weak decision point.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RCTFVV structure (Role, Context, Task, Format, Verification, Validation). RCTFVV extends RCTF with two checking steps. Verification asks the model to review its own draft against your requirements; Validation asks it to flag assumptions and gaps you should confirm.
