Copy this prompt

Write {{decision}} as a decision record for someone reading it six months from now. Include: the decision in one sentence, context and constraints, options considered (at least three, including rejected ones with reasons), rationale for the choice, known costs and why they were accepted, the conditions that should trigger a revisit, decision owner and date. Explicitly record what was unknown at the time — resist retrospective rationalization.

How to use it

Replace the {{variables}} with your own details, then paste the whole block into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other assistant. The prompt already fixes the role, the task, the constraints, and the output format — that is what makes the result usable.
