ProductivityCoverage handoff

Write a handoff doc before time off

Use before vacation or leave so a colleague can cover your work without messaging you constantly.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Act as an operations lead writing a coverage handoff. Make it so my colleague can cover me without pinging me.

My role and main responsibilities: {{role}}
Dates I will be away: {{away_dates}}
Who is covering: {{cover_person}}
Active projects and their status: {{active_projects}}
Recurring tasks that happen while I am gone: {{recurring_tasks}}
Known risks or things that might blow up: {{risks}}

Write a handoff doc with:
1. A priority list: what must be handled vs what can wait for me.
2. Each active project: status, next step, who to contact, where files live.
3. Recurring tasks with timing and a quick how-to.
4. Decision authority: what the cover person can decide vs escalate.
5. Emergency-only contact rule and what qualifies as an emergency.

Keep it scannable.
