About this exercise
Read the intake call notes and write a checklist of what is still missing before the job can be posted. Plain text. Each line starts with "[ ] " and is a question to ask the hiring manager, under 15 words. At most 7 lines. Cover only gaps and conflicts in the notes, not generic intake questions. Put conflicts first, with "CONFLICT: " right after the "[ ] ". Do not write the job post.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Generic questions. The AI asks about team size again. Try: Say: "Only gaps and conflicts in the notes."
- Missing the conflicts. The AI lists topics without noticing contradictions. Try: Say: "Put conflicts first, prefixed CONFLICT:."
- Writing the post. The AI drafts the posting. Try: Say: "Do not write the job post."
- Too many items. The AI writes 12 questions. Try: Say: "At most 7 lines."
- Markdown. The AI bolds words or adds headings. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."
