UseAgentBEFORE YOU RUN
Know the job and the reviewer.
This playbook is for founders, chiefs of staff, and operations leads who collect weekly updates.
TARGET OUTCOME
A consistent leadership brief that separates facts, risks, and decisions instead of blending them into a status dump.
Bring these inputs
Better source material makes the result easier to review and safer to reuse.
- Team updates for the week
- The prior brief or preferred format
- Links to source documents
- The audience and meeting date
COPYABLE STARTER
Start with this prompt.
Replace bracketed details, attach the source material, and keep the limits until your team has reviewed a few runs.
Create this week's leadership brief from the attached updates. Include an executive summary, progress against priorities, risks with owner and source, decisions leadership must make, and commitments for next week. Separate confirmed facts from interpretation. Do not invent metrics or fill gaps. End with missing updates I should chase.
THE PLAYBOOK
Move from context to a reviewed result.
- 01
Gather one source set
Put weekly updates, prior commitments, and relevant documents in one thread or accessible knowledge set.
- 02
Define the decision frame
Say who will read the brief and which decisions the meeting needs to unlock.
- 03
Draft and trace
Require source links beside risks, numbers, and commitments so a reviewer can check them quickly.
- 04
Review before routine
Once the structure works, reuse it weekly and keep final distribution under a named owner.
DELIVERABLES
What the run should produce
