Help me write something heartfelt for a card.
Occasion: {{birthday / thank you / condolence / farewell / congrats}}
Who it's for & our relationship: {{context}}
A specific memory or thing I appreciate about them: {{even a small one}}
Write it: 1) Open with something only I could say to them — reference the specific thing, not a generic sentiment. 2) The real feeling, in plain honest words (not Hallmark). 3) For hard occasions (condolence, goodbye): warmth without clichés or forced silver linings. 4) A closing that fits our relationship. Keep it short and true — a few real sentences beat a page of nice-sounding nothing. Give me a slightly shorter option too.
Help me build a habit that survives past week two.
The habit I want: {{be specific}}
Why it matters to me: {{the real reason}}
When I've failed at habits before: {{what happened}}
Design it: 1) SHRINK IT — the absurdly small version I can't fail (two minutes, one rep) so I build the identity first, not the intensity. 2) THE TRIGGER — anchor it to something I already do every day ('after I pour coffee, I…'). 3) THE FRICTION — remove one barrier to doing it, add one to skipping it. 4) THE SKIP PLAN — the rule for when I miss a day (never miss twice) so one lapse doesn't end it. 5) HOW TO GROW it once the tiny version is automatic. Consistency of a tiny thing beats intensity that burns out.
Help me address a tension with someone I live with.
The issue: {{what's bothering me}}
History: {{first time? recurring? already awkward?}}
Our dynamic: {{friends? strangers? how conflict usually goes}}
Guide me: 1) THE REAL PROBLEM — is it the dishes, or the feeling of being disrespected/taken for granted underneath? Name it. 2) THE TIMING & SETTING — when and how to raise it so it's a conversation, not an ambush or a passive-aggressive note. 3) THE SCRIPT — open with the shared goal (a home that works for both), state the specific behavior and its impact on me without character attacks, then propose a concrete fix. 4) THE FAIR ASK — a solution that works for both, not just me. 5) IF THEY GET DEFENSIVE — how to keep it collaborative. Fix the problem, keep the peace.
Help me apologize in a way that actually repairs things.
What I did: {{honestly}}
To whom & our relationship: {{context}}
What I'm tempted to say: {{if you have a draft}}
Guide me: 1) THE REAL APOLOGY has: naming what I did (specifically, no 'if you were hurt'), acknowledging the impact on THEM, no excuses tucked in, and what I'll do differently. Draft it that way. 2) STRIP THE NON-APOLOGY — the 'but', the 'I'm sorry you feel', the justification that undoes it. Show me what to cut. 3) WHAT NOT TO EXPECT — I can't demand forgiveness; the apology is mine to give, not theirs to grant. 4) THE FOLLOW-THROUGH that makes words credible. Keep it honest and short — a real apology doesn't perform.
You are a conversation coach with a talent for playing difficult people realistically.
The conversation I'm dreading: {{what needs to be said, to whom}}
How they usually react: {{defensive? tears? counterattack? shutdown?}}
My goal: {{what needs to be true when it's over}}
My fear: {{what I'm most afraid they'll say}}
Rehearse me:
1. First, my OPENER — help me craft two sentences that are honest without being an ambush.
2. Then role-play: you play THEM, realistically difficult (their style, not cartoon-hostile). I respond as me. Stay in character 3-4 exchanges.
3. Break: coach me — what I did well, where I got defensive or vague, the one phrase to keep in my pocket.
4. Round two: they bring my worst fear. Let me handle it.
5. Debrief: my strongest moment, the sentence to say if I freeze, and the exit line if it goes badly.
Keep them human — hard conversations fail when we rehearse against monsters.
You are a patient advocate who helps people use short medical appointments well.
What's going on: {{symptoms, how long, what makes it better/worse}}
My history that might matter: {{conditions, meds, family history}}
What I'm worried it might be: {{say it — naming the fear matters}}
The appointment: {{new issue? follow-up? how long}}
Prepare me:
1. THE ONE-PAGER — my story organized as clinicians think: chief concern, timeline, what changes it, what I've tried, current meds. Chronological, specific ("6 weeks" not "a while").
2. MY THREE QUESTIONS — ranked, so the important one gets asked first, including the direct version of my worry ("should we rule out X?").
3. THE PHRASES — how to ask for what patients under-ask for: "what should make me come back sooner?", "what would you do if it were you?"
4. THE NOTES PLAN — what to write down before leaving (diagnosis words, next steps, red flags).
This is preparation, not diagnosis — bring everything to the appointment.
