Reusable Instruction File Writer
A structured instruction document for a repeating task, with name, purpose, inputs, outputs and a checklist.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For people who want to turn a recurring job (a report, an email, an analysis) into a guide that someone else or an assistant can follow without questions.
How to use it
Describe the job in [TASK], who runs it and how often in [USER, FREQUENCY], and typical inputs and expected outputs in [INPUTS] and [OUTPUTS].
Short example
Task: a weekly customer report. User: a manager, weekly. Inputs: a spreadsheet. Output: a one-page summary.
What to expect
A single Markdown document with name, description, purpose, inputs and outputs, steps, a quality checklist and two usage examples.
Precautions and tips
- The model does not save a file; save the text to a file yourself.
- Check that no vague verbs like handle or manage survived.
- Hand the guide to a colleague and note which questions they still ask.
