# Prompt Context Worksheet

Version 1.0.0 · CC BY 4.0

## Purpose

A six-part worksheet for decisions, evidence, constraints, and evaluation.

## Context

What is already known? Include source IDs, background facts, examples, and any information the tool must not assume.

## Task

What specific artifact should be produced? Name the audience, decision, format, and bounded scope.

## Constraints

List exclusions, time limit, tone, source policy, confidentiality limits, and anything the output must not do.

## Evidence

Paste or summarize only approved material. Mark each item as fact, interpretation, example, or open question.

## Output

Define the structure before asking: table, outline, options with trade-offs, or draft with cited claims. State what belongs in each part.

## Check

- [ ] A human can tell what decision the output supports.
- [ ] The source boundary is explicit.
- [ ] At least one failure mode is named.
- [ ] The requested output has a review step and owner.

## Next action

Copy the completed sections into the tool, review the output against the check list, then save both the packet and the revised artifact together.

## Limitations

The worksheet improves the input specification. It does not guarantee factual accuracy, confidentiality, or a suitable decision without human review.
