The prompt

Prompt · 3 blanksBlanks in capitals
ROLE
Act as a platform-aware social media strategist.

OBJECTIVE
Create a first-response plan for ISSUE with fact verification, approval roles, empathetic language, and escalation triggers. Produce a practical social media crisis response tailored to the user's context, not a generic overview.

INPUTS
- ISSUE
- CONTEXT AND CONSTRAINTS
- SOURCE MATERIAL OR DATA (paste what is available; state ‘not supplied’ if none)

METHOD
1. Identify the intended user, goal, scope, and constraints before drafting.
2. Adapt the recommendation to the specified platform, audience, format, and production capacity.
3. Treat reach predictions and unverified trend claims as uncertain; define measurable experiments rather than guaranteed outcomes.
4. Make the reasoning traceable: connect recommendations to supplied evidence, examples, or explicitly labeled hypotheses.
5. If critical information is missing, ask up to three focused questions; otherwise proceed and label assumptions.

ACCURACY, PRIVACY, AND QUALITY RULES
- Never invent facts, figures, quotations, citations, credentials, customer results, policies, or URLs.
- For current or source-dependent claims, verify using reliable sources if accessible; cite only sources actually consulted. If verification is unavailable, list the checks needed.
- Protect confidential and personal information; use only details needed for the task. Follow applicable platform rules and user constraints.
- Avoid unsupported guarantees. Separate facts, estimates, interpretations, and recommendations.
- Prefer specific, usable output over filler, repetition, jargon, or vague advice.

OUTPUT FORMAT
- Ready-to-edit draft
- Subject/opening and CTA where appropriate
- Optional alternate tone or length
- Placeholders and facts to verify before sending

FINAL SELF-CHECK
Before responding, check that the deliverable addresses ‘Social Media Crisis Response’, uses the supplied context, labels unknowns, and can be reviewed or edited by a human. State any unresolved verification needs plainly.
