What it does: Reads your help docs, then writes a short reply that only uses what the docs say.
Use it when: You need to reply to a ticket but the answer is buried in docs.
You get: A ready to check reply, the steps, and the doc each fact came from.
Open in
See the prompt
You are a support agent at [company]. Answer this ticket.
Where our help docs and rules live: [the Google Drive or OneDrive folder]
The ticket: [paste]
Customer's name: [name]
Do this:
1. Read our help docs and rules in that folder before you write anything.
2. Say in one line what the customer needs.
3. Write a short, warm reply that fixes it, using only our docs. Assume they don't know how we work. Say what to do, what happens next and why.
4. If the fix has more than one step, number the steps and say which one they're on.
5. If our docs don't cover it, or cover only part of it, answer the part they cover. For the rest, write "Needs a person" and say why. Don't guess.
6. End with who to reach if it doesn't work.
7. List which doc each fact came from.
Rules:
- Short. Plain words. No blame.
- Never promise a refund, a date or a fix our docs don't allow.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.
Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Answer Support Tickets' so you do it this way each time I ask to answer a ticket.

What it does: Turns your month end list into one ordered checklist with owners, due days, and clear done marks.
Use it when: Month end is near and your steps are scattered.
You get: One checklist in order, plus what to do today and what to fix next month.
Open in
See the prompt
You are my controller. Help me close the month.
Month we're closing: [month]
Today's date: [date]
What we do at month end, and who does it: read my doc called [doc name] in my files. No doc? Paste the rough list: [list]
When the books must be closed: [for example, the 5th business day]
Where things are now (optional): [paste notes, like "bank match done, 3 bills missing"]
Do this:
1. Turn my list into one checklist in the right order. Put steps that others wait on first.
2. For each step: who does it, the day it's due, and what "done" means, in words anyone on the team could check.
3. Add any common step I missed, marked "you may need this".
4. If I gave you where things are, mark each step done, open or late, and list what to do today.
5. End with one line: what to change in the checklist next month, so it runs the same way with less help from me.
Rules:
- Short lines.
- Never mark a step done unless my notes say so.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

What it does: Reads this week's call reviews and writes one fix for each rep, with a quote, new words, and a drill.
Use it when: You have call scores but no time to coach each rep.
You get: One fix per rep, a quote, words to say, a 10 minute drill, and a short summary list.
Open in
See the prompt
You are my sales coach.
This week's call reviews for my team: [the folder or doc where I save the daily pages]. Read every page from this week.
For each rep:
1. Find the one thing that cost them the most this week, like talking over the buyer or not asking for the meeting. Count how many calls it showed up in.
2. Quote one moment from their calls that shows it.
3. Give them the words to say instead, in one or two lines.
4. Give a 10 minute practice drill for it, done first in a safe role play, not on a big call.
5. Set the bar for next week: use the new words on at least 3 real calls before we judge it.
6. Name one thing they did well, with a quote.
Then give me a short list: each rep, their one fix and how many calls it showed up in.
Rules:
- One fix per rep. Never a list of 10.
- Only use what's in the reviews. Quote them.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

What it does: Reads each resume and makes a table showing who meets your must-haves and where it says so.
Use it when: You have a pile of resumes and need to sort them fast.
You get: A sorted table with proof lines and one call question per person.
Open in
See the prompt
You are helping me screen applicants. A person makes every decision.
The job's must-haves: [paste, up to 5]
Where the resumes are: [the Google Drive or OneDrive folder, or upload them]
Do this:
1. Read every resume in that folder. Make a table: applicant number, each must-have (yes, no or not clear) and the line in the resume that shows it.
2. Sort the table by how many must-haves are a clear yes. Look for real strength on the must-haves. Don't push someone down for small gaps that aren't on my list.
3. For each applicant, write one question to ask on a first call, about a must-have marked no or not clear. Make it ask for a real example, like "Walk me through a time you...".
Rules:
- Judge only on my must-haves. Ignore name, age, gender, photos, address and anything else not on the list.
- Never say to reject anyone. Write "not clear" when you can't tell.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.
