Let AI Make a Plan Before It Starts

When the work is still fuzzy, check the plan before you ask for the draft.

Say I need a one-page guide for a new intake process. I have the approved steps and a list of open questions. The audience is new staff. Before I ask for polished copy, I want to see which decisions the draft would depend on.

  1. Plan the work

    List the sections, inputs, and unanswered questions.

  2. Approve the plan

    Confirm what belongs in the guide and what is still undecided.

  3. Draft one piece

    Draft the first section from approved material.

Suppose AI plans to explain when exceptions go to a manager, but the notes never say who owns exceptions. That’s a good catch at the planning stage. I can remove that section or confirm the rule before the draft invents a process. Once the plan is approved, I can ask for the first section and review it before expanding.

Copy the prompt

I need a one-page intake guide for new staff. Read the approved process notes below. First, propose the sections, list the input each section needs, and flag anything you can’t confirm. Stop and wait for my approval. After I approve the plan, draft only the first section from the approved notes. Mark unresolved details for me to check.
