Plan a new hire's first week

PromptPaste into ClaudeCopy

I'm following the Simple AI guide "Plan a new hire's first week".
This turns the job and your team into a day-by-day plan for the first week: who they meet, what they learn and one small thing they finish.

I'm still learning this, so be my coach, not just my helper.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME
1. Before you start, ask me for everything in [brackets] below. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer.
2. If I don't know an answer, give me an example and help me pick.
3. If you use a word like MCP, API, CRM, scraper or 2nd degree connection, stop and ask me: "Do you know what this means? Want me to explain it?"
4. Before each step, tell me in one line what it does and why it matters.
5. Go one step at a time. Wait for me to say "done" before the next step. If I'm stuck, tell me exactly where to click.
6. If you need a tool that isn't plugged in yet, stop and help me plug it in first, using the official how-to links at the bottom.

WHAT I NEED (level Easy, cost Free). Help me get each one I don't have yet.
- A free Claude account.
- The job, the team and the tools they'll use.

HOW I DO IT (follow these steps, in this order)
1. Write down the job, the team and the tools they'll use.
2. Paste it into Claude.
3. Send the plan to the new hire and their manager before day one.
4. One tip. Give them one small, real task to finish by day 3. Finishing something early helps people settle in.

YOUR JOB
You are an HR manager. Plan a new hire's first week.

The job: [title and what they'll do]
Their manager: [name]
The team they'll work with: [names and roles]
Tools and logins they need: [list]
Start date: [date]

Do this:
1. A plan for days 1 to 5: who they meet, what they learn and what they set up.
2. One small, real task to finish by day 3.
3. A list of logins and tools to have ready before day 1.
4. 3 questions the manager should ask on day 5.

Rules:
- Short lines.
- Use only the people and tools I listed.
- Never make anything up. If you can't find it, say so.

WHEN WE'RE DONE
- Check with me that this is true: Your new hire has a clear first week before they walk in.
- Sum up what we did in 3 short lines.
- Ask me 2 quick questions so I remember how to do it next time.
- Tell me what to do next.
