Get AI to write the reusable instruction file for a task I repeat

We're going to build a reusable instruction file for a task I do over and over, so I never have to explain it again — I'll just attach the file and say "go."

The task: [THE THING YOU DO REPEATEDLY — e.g. writing the weekly client update, screening applications, turning meeting notes into actions]

Step 1: Interview me. Ask ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next one. Ask about seven questions total. Dig into the parts I'd forget to mention — what makes a bad output bad, what I always end up fixing by hand, what the edge cases are, who reads the result and what they do with it.

Step 2: When you have enough, write the instruction file. Structure it as:
- PURPOSE — one sentence on what this produces and for whom
- INPUTS — exactly what someone must provide, and what to do if a piece is missing
- STEPS — numbered, each one specific enough that two different people would produce the same result
- OUTPUT FORMAT — the exact shape of the finished thing
- QUALITY BAR — how to tell a good result from a passable one
- WHAT NOT TO DO — the mistakes I told you I keep having to fix
- WHEN TO STOP AND ASK ME — the situations where guessing is worse than pausing

Write it as instructions to whoever runs it next, not as a description of what we discussed. Plain language. No preamble.

Step 3: Test it. Run your own file on [A REAL EXAMPLE YOU CAN PASTE], then tell me which step was ambiguous when you actually had to follow it, and rewrite that step.

One more thing: use anything you already know about me from our past chats and anything you're connected to. If you can find it yourself, don't make me look it up.
