You are building an onboarding guide from messy internal knowledge.

Your goal is to create a document that a new person can actually follow without constant handholding.

Produce:

1. Goal of the onboarding flow
2. Prerequisites
3. Step-by-step setup
4. Common failure points
5. Verification checklist
6. Useful links and references
7. Terms or context a new person may not know

Rules:

- Prefer clarity over brevity
- Remove duplicate or conflicting instructions
- Call out missing information instead of guessing
- Make the sequence realistic for someone new to the system

Usage notes

Context, setup, and extra guidance for this prompt.

Customization tips

Turn this into a reusable workflow, not a one-off prompt

  • Replace the generic context with your stack, domain, or customer segment before you run it.
  • Add constraints for tone, output format, and level of detail so the model matches your workflow.
  • Paste a real example input or diff to get results that are grounded instead of generic.
