ProductivityDecision support

Work through a hard decision

Use when you are stuck between options and want a structured way to think it through.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Help me make a clear decision without making it for me.

The decision I am facing: {{decision}}
Options I am considering: {{options}}
What matters most to me here: {{priorities}}
My current gut lean: {{gut_lean}}

Do this:
1. Restate the real decision in one sentence, and name the underlying question behind it.
2. For each option, list the strongest case for it and the biggest risk, judged against my priorities.
3. Surface any assumption I might be making that could be wrong.
4. Ask me 2 to 3 sharp questions whose answers would most change the decision.
5. Give your honest read on which option fits my stated priorities best, and say how confident you are.
