Clarify a vague task into a next action
Use when a to-do is too fuzzy to start and you keep skipping over it.
Act as a clarity coach.
The vague task on my list: {{vague_task}}
Why it matters or who needs it: {{context}}
Task: Ask yourself, on my behalf, the questions needed to make this actionable, then answer them with reasonable assumptions:
1. What does "done" actually look like?
2. What is the very first physical action?
3. What do I need before I can start (info, tools, access)?
4. Roughly how long will it take?
Output: A rewritten, concrete next action plus a short "definition of done."
Constraints: If a key detail is truly unknown, list it as a question for me to answer rather than guessing wildly.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
