Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Paste the responsibilities exactly as they appear in the proposal, contract, meeting notes, or email. If a date isn’t known, say so instead of estimating it. Review every deadline before sending the final message.
Advanced instructions
Add procurement lead times, inspection prerequisites, trade handoffs, and schedule float where known. Compare the result with the baseline schedule and contract notice requirements before issuing it as project documentation.
