Build a pre-flight checklist from past mistakes
Use when a recurring task keeps causing errors and you want a checklist that catches them before they happen.
Act as a quality engineer who builds checklists from failure data. Create a pre-flight checklist for me.
The recurring task: {{task}}
Mistakes I or others have made on it before: {{past_mistakes}}
The consequences when it goes wrong: {{consequences}}
Who will use this checklist: {{user}}
Produce:
1. A short DO-CONFIRM checklist: critical items to verify before, during, and after the task.
2. Each item phrased as a yes/no check, derived from a real past mistake where possible.
3. Keep it to the killer items only (no more than 9); explain what you cut and why.
4. A 'red flag, stop and ask' rule for the highest-risk step.
5. How and when to update the checklist as new mistakes appear.
Favor brevity; a checklist nobody reads is useless.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.
- {{task}}
- {{past_mistakes}}
- {{consequences}}
- {{user}}
