The Decision Framer
Every business owner has at least one decision that’s been sitting half-made for weeks — a hire, a price change, whether to keep or cut a product line. The Decision Framer exists for exactly that moment: it forces the decision into a clear question, maps every real option including doing nothing, and ends with an actual recommendation instead of a list of things to think about.
The Decision Framer — full prompt
Act as a sharp, neutral advisor — paid to tell me the truth, not to be agreeable. Here's the decision I need to make: [state your decision as a clear question — e.g. "Should I hire a second staff member before the Raya rush?"] Before you answer, ask me anything you need to know to think about this properly. Once you have what you need: 1. Restate the decision as one clear question. 2. Map every real option I have — including doing nothing. 3. Take the strongest option and stress-test its biggest assumption. What has to be true for it to work? 4. Give me a one-sentence recommendation. Structure your answer in four labelled sections matching the four steps above, then end with one open question I still need to think about myself. I'll know this worked if I can make the call after reading it once — no extra research needed.
Swap the bracketed decision for your own. Everything else in the prompt stays the same — that’s the point of a template.
The Meeting Debrief
Most meeting summaries just list everything that was said. The Meeting Debrief does something more useful: it separates what was actually decided from what’s still open, and names the tension in the room that nobody said out loud — clearly labelled as an inference, not a quote.
The Meeting Debrief — full prompt
Act as a chief of staff who sat through the meeting and now needs to brief someone who wasn't there. Here are my meeting notes or transcript: [paste your raw notes or transcript] Before you start, ask me anything you need to know — who was in the room, what the meeting was for, or anything that would change how you read the notes. Once you have what you need, give me: 1. One sentence, starting with a verb, summarising the whole meeting. 2. Only what was explicitly decided — not just discussed. Format each as: Decided: [what] | Owner: [name, or "unassigned"] | By: [date, or "no deadline set"]. 3. Open items — questions or topics that were raised but not resolved, and what needs to happen before each can close. 4. Any tension or disagreement that was implied but never said out loud. Name it plainly, and label it clearly as your inference, not a quote. 5. One sentence on what the next meeting should focus on, based only on what's still unresolved. Structure your answer in five labelled sections matching the five steps above. I'll know this worked if someone who missed the meeting could read it and know exactly what to do next.
Paste in messy, unedited notes. The messier the input, the more useful step 4 becomes — that’s the point of asking for it.

Inside Level 1: Talk to Claude, we run all three of these templates live on real material from the room — then save them as a personal prompt library.

The problem with asking Claude to edit your writing is that it tends to rewrite everything in the same flattened voice and quietly add length. The Writing Editor stops both — it diagnoses what’s actually wrong first, keeps the edit the same length or shorter, and shows you exactly what changed.
The Writing Editor — full prompt
Act as a sharp editor who protects the author's voice — not one who rewrites everything to sound the same. Here's the piece I need edited: [paste your draft] Before you touch anything, tell me: what this writing is trying to do, its biggest structural problem, and its biggest sentence-level problem — one sentence each. Then: 1. Rewrite the full piece — improve clarity, directness and flow, and cut anything that doesn't serve the purpose you named. Do not add length; the result should be the same length or shorter. 2. List the 3 most significant changes you made, in the format: Changed [X] to [Y] because [reason]. 3. Flag anything you softened, cut, or reframed where I might disagree, and give me the option to put it back. Match my original voice unless I ask you to change it. If the writing is already strong, say so and tell me why, instead of changing things for the sake of it. I'll know this worked if I can see exactly what changed and why, not just receive a rewritten version.
Works on emails, proposals, reports, or social posts — anything written. The diagnosis step is what stops Claude from “fixing” something that wasn’t actually broken.
Making Your Own PRISM+ Templates
All three templates follow the same underlying shape: a Role that sets the right posture, a Purpose stated as a real business problem, an Instruction that invites Claude to ask before it answers, a Structure that matches how you’ll actually use the output, and a Measure that tells you when it’s actually done.
Once you’ve built two or three of your own this way, the pattern becomes reusable — you’ll find yourself adapting the same shape to new problems as they come up, rather than starting from a blank cursor every time.
FAQ
What is a PRISM+ prompt?
A PRISM+ prompt is a business prompt built around five parts — Purpose, Role, Instruction+Interview, Structure, Measure — so Claude has enough context to give a specific, usable answer instead of a generic one.
Are these PRISM+ prompts really free to use?
Yes. All three templates above — the Decision Framer, the Meeting Debrief, and the Writing Editor — are free to copy, paste, and adapt to your own business. No sign-up required.
What is the Decision Framer prompt used for?
It’s built for decisions that have been sitting unmade for too long — hiring, pricing, whether to drop a product line. It forces the decision into a clear question, maps every real option, and ends with a direct recommendation instead of a list to weigh yourself.
How is the Meeting Debrief prompt different from just summarising notes?
A summary shortens what was said. The Meeting Debrief goes further — it separates what was actually decided from what’s still open, and flags unspoken tension in the room as an explicit, labelled inference rather than burying it in a paragraph.
Can I use these prompts with Claude Projects to avoid retyping them?
Yes — any of these PRISM+ prompts can be saved into a Claude Project’s instructions, so you don’t have to paste them in fresh every time you use them. That setup is covered later in the Level 1 training.
