Dump in everything messy: raw Slack messages, rough notes, half-finished docs. AI is better at extracting structure from chaos than you are at organizing it manually.
How to use this prompt
- Pick your AI model. Choose the tab for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. Each variant is tuned for that model.

- Paste into your AI tool. Open your chosen model and paste the prompt into a new chat.
- Replace the [placeholders]. Swap any bracketed fields for your company name, audience, product or tone.
- Run and refine. Review the output. If anything is off, ask the AI to tighten tone, length or format.

Raw content:
[PASTE EVERYTHING — SOPs, Slack messages, notes, emails, docs]
Create:
1. 1-3 structured articles — title, category, tags, summary, full content with headers and steps, cross-references
2. Gap list — unanswered questions, each marked "TODO: ask [person]"
3. Decision log — rules and decisions extracted into a table
4. TL;DR quick reference (under 200 words)
Where two pieces of the raw content contradict each other, do not pick one. Show both versions in the article with where each came from, and its date if shown, and add the conflict to the gap list for me to resolve. Choosing silently would turn one person's outdated message into the documented rule.
Success means nothing in the raw content is lost (every rule, exception, and decision lands in an article or the log), and nothing is added that the raw content doesn't say.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
