01
Capture the story without cleaning it up
You gather the original account, the intended lesson, and the learner context before trying to improve the wording. This protects useful details that may look unimportant at first.

You break an expert's rough story into the moments that matter, then shape those moments into a clear example you can use in instruction or discussion.
We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Expert stories often contain valuable judgment that disappears when you reduce them to a simple lesson.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Expose the decision anatomy
You identify the sequence, warning signs, options, constraints, reasoning, tradeoffs, and consequences. You also distinguish what the expert actually said from what the story merely suggests.
03
Resolve the gaps that could distort the lesson
You focus follow-up on missing facts that would change how learners judge the decision. Minor color and background details can remain open.
04
Build and pressure-test the example
You turn the verified story into a concise example, then test whether it teaches judgment instead of merely revealing an obvious answer.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with one story that has a clear beginning and outcome. Paste your notes even if they’re messy. Let the AI separate confirmed facts from gaps, then check every flagged point before you use the example with learners.
Advanced instructions
Ask the AI to preserve competing priorities and plausible alternatives rather than steering learners toward an obvious answer. If you’re building practice, stop the example at the decision point and keep the expert’s action and outcome in a separate facilitator note.
Use this when
Use this after an interview, workshop, or informal conversation produces a promising story that is too scattered, technical, or incomplete to use in training as-is.
