About this exercise
Write the ground rules for the weekly forecast call in exactly 4 plain-text lines starting Before:, During:, Updates:, After:. Each line is one sentence under 22 words and uses the current numbers (not the old ones). No names of reps and no commentary about past calls.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Using the old rules. The AI says Thursday 9 am and 5 minutes. Try: Add: "Use the Nov 2026 rules."
- Mentioning past issues. The AI refers to reps who updated late. Try: Add: "No rep names or commentary on past calls."
- Missing numbers. The AI writes vague timing. Try: Add: "Include the exact times and minutes."
- Wrong shape. The AI writes paragraphs. Try: Add: "Four labeled lines, each one sentence under 22 words."
What a strong prompt includes
- Lists the four labels
- Uses current numbers
- Bans names and past issues
- One sentence each
