01
Clean the room schedule
You create a reliable program baseline before analyzing relationships. You preserve supplied values, separate unclear duplicates, and flag missing quantities or areas.

Get Something Done
Turn a basic room list into activity profiles, access and privacy zones, weighted room relationships, a first-pass adjacency diagram, and a focused list of unresolved design questions.
We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
You can test how the program should work before drawing detailed plans.
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
Profile what happens in each space
You translate room names into the activities and operating conditions that actually drive adjacency.
03
Set access and privacy zones
You group spaces by who can enter and how much control, privacy, or security each space needs.
04
Trace people, material, and service paths
You map the paths that can create short travel, crossed traffic, backtracking, security gaps, or operational conflicts.
05
Score the important room relationships
You replace vague requests for closeness with a consistent relationship scale and a reason for every important score.
06
Expose competing requirements
You test whether access, privacy, acoustics, service needs, and fixed constraints pull the same rooms in different directions.
07
Choose anchors and clusters
You identify the spaces that should organize your first diagram and the support spaces that should move with them.
08
Draw the first adjacency diagram
You turn the relationship logic into a non-scaled diagram that can guide blocking without pretending to be a floor plan.
09
Stress-test the diagram
You test whether the diagram still works during normal use, peak demand, and service activity.
10
Set the next design decisions
You convert unresolved issues into a short action list tied to blocking, coordination, and confirmation.

Tell us what the prompt needs to know
Start with the questions below. Each answer personalizes the playbook and builds the prompt you’ll use at the end.
Your situation
Provide the project type, project phase, scope, occupancy concept, and the main outcome your design needs to support.
0/10000
Paste or attach your current room names, quantities, target areas, departments, and notes. You keep uncertain values clearly marked.
0/10000
Describe what happens in each room, when activity peaks, what needs to stay nearby, and what interruptions or overlaps cause problems.
0/10000
Describe how visitors, regular occupants, staff, deliveries, equipment, and waste enter, move through, and leave your project.
0/10000
List your known visual, acoustic, security, infection-control, dignity, or departmental separation needs without treating assumptions as confirmed rules.
0/10000
List your known plumbing, ventilation, daylight, structure, equipment, storage, loading, waste, or shared-support relationships.
0/10000
Provide your fixed entries, exits, cores, shafts, structural grids, protected elements, existing rooms, floor limits, or site edges.
0/10000
Choose the format you can review or transfer into your design tools most easily.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
You can start with room names, quantities, approximate areas, and a short description of what happens in each space. If you don’t know a relationship, write “unknown” instead of guessing. Review the normalized schedule first, then confirm the strongest direct connections and separations before you rely on the diagram.
Advanced instructions
You can split repeated room types when location changes their relationships, weight connections by frequency and consequence, and run separate diagrams for normal, peak, secure, and service conditions. Challenge inferred relationships, test alternative anchor spaces, and carry unresolved conflicts into blocking studies as explicit design questions.
Use this when
Use this after you have a room list and approximate areas but before you commit to blocking, stacking, or a schematic floor plan. You can also use it when a revised program disrupts an earlier layout.
You'll need
- Project context
- Room list or schedule
- Activity needs
- Access and flow information
- Privacy and separation needs
- Service and environmental links
- Physical constraints
- Diagram format
You'll get
- Every supplied room accounted for, each important relationship has a reason and confidence basis, required separations are visible, major flows have been tested, contradictions are flagged, the diagram is clearly marked as non-scaled, and your unresolved decisions are ranked by when they need design attention.
By the end of this playbook
You will have:
- Every supplied room accounted for, each important relationship has a reason and confidence basis, required separations are visible, major flows have been tested, contradictions are flagged, the diagram is clearly marked as non-scaled, and your unresolved decisions are ranked by when they need design attention.
