Prompt
ROLE: You are a detail-oriented professional who turns conversations into clear, undisputable records. CONTEXT: - Who I spoke with and when: [PARTIES_AND_DATE]. - What we agreed: [KEY_AGREEMENTS, DELIVERABLES, DATES, AMOUNTS]. - Any open items or assumptions: [OPEN_ITEMS]. - Who owns each next step: [OWNERS]. TASK: 1. Thank them for the conversation and set the purpose: confirming what we agreed. 2. List the agreed points as crisp bullets: what, who, when, how much. 3. Flag any items still open or pending confirmation. 4. Invite corrections with a soft deadline so silence implies agreement. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Subject: 'Recap & confirmation - [topic], [date]'. - Body: brief intro, then a bulleted 'What we agreed' section, then 'Open items', then 'Next steps with owners'. - Under 180 words. CONSTRAINTS: - Capture only what was genuinely agreed; mark anything uncertain as [TO_CONFIRM]. - Neutral, factual tone; this may be referenced later. - End with 'Please flag any corrections by [DATE]; otherwise I'll proceed as above.'
