Fourteen prompts, grouped by the work they replace
Each prompt is a complete solution. Open the file, paste your context, run it. The output lands in minutes, not the hour or two it would take from scratch.
Performance Reviews
5 promptsAnnual Review, Senior Direct Report
Drafts behaviorally anchored annual reviews using SBI structure that survive calibration committee and HR scrutiny.
When: Annual review cycle for tenured direct reports (12+ months) needing a draft defensible at compensation committee.
Annual Review, Junior Direct Report
Drafts annual reviews for newer direct reports (under 18 months) emphasizing ramp trajectory and learning velocity over mature performance.
When: Annual review cycle for direct reports with under 18 months tenure focused on ramp speed and developmental coaching.
Mid-Year Check-in
Drafts a goal-tracking document that resets H2 priorities based on H1 progress without the weight of formal performance judgment.
When: Mid-year cycle to reset priorities and surface what changed since H1 planning.
30/60/90 Day New Hire Review
Drafts phase-appropriate new-hire reviews that scale from 30-day onboarding checks to 90-day full-scope ramp assessments.
When: At 30, 60, or 90 days to document ramp progress and surface early risks or accelerators.
Peer Feedback Synthesis
Synthesizes raw peer feedback into coherent themes ranked by frequency, separating signal from noise.
When: After collecting peer feedback from three or more respondents that needs to distill into actionable themes.
Compensation & Calibration
2 promptsPromotion Case Brief
Drafts evidence-based promotion briefs with scope, impact, and peer calibration to survive committee scrutiny.
When: Building a promotion case for calibration committee; requires demonstrated target-level scope, not future potential.
Calibration Prep
Pressure-tests team rating distribution against expected curves and surfaces outliers with anticipatory committee talking points.
When: Before calibration meetings to identify which proposed ratings will get challenged and prep your defense.
Recurring Conversations
2 promptsWeekly 1:1 Agenda
Drafts structured 1:1 agendas with specific questions calibrated to avoid status-report drift.
When: Before every weekly 1:1, with context from last week, to surface signal the standup cannot capture.
Skip-Level 1:1 Prep
Prepares skip-level conversations with ranked questions and guardrails that surface team health without undermining the direct manager.
When: Quarterly or semi-annual skip-levels to listen for real signal about team dynamics and manager performance.
Difficult Conversations & Feedback
2 promptsPerformance Improvement Plan Draft
Drafts legally defensible PIPs with specific behavioral expectations, measurable criteria, and documented support.
When: After documented performance feedback has not resulted in improvement; needs HR and legal review before delivery.
Difficult Feedback Script
Drafts structured scripts for high-stakes feedback with core message, anticipated objections, and tone guardrails.
When: Prior informal feedback has not shifted behavior; stakes high enough to rehearse the hard moments in advance.
Team Communication & Problem-Solving
3 promptsTeam Standup Digest
Converts messy standup notes into exec-readable digests ranked by impact on audience priority, not speaking order.
When: Communicating standup output to a skip-level or cross-functional partners; extracts signal from noisy notes.
Blocker Triage
Ranks competing blockers by impact and effort, recommends priority tier and next action for each.
When: Sequencing known blockers when team capacity is constrained, or defending why a blocker is being deferred.
Departure Communication
Drafts the full communication set for a departure: email, meeting talking points, and Slack variant. Aligned across all three channels.
When: Announcing a team member departure (resignation, termination, transfer, or leave) to manage information flow.
Two output conventions
Locked range prompts (reviews, PIPs, promotion cases, departure comms) hit explicit word counts so the output stands up in HR, legal, and committee review. Guideline prompts for 1:1s, standups, blockers, and peer feedback match output length to input length. A light week produces a shorter agenda. That is the right behavior.
Three steps. Every time.
Every prompt follows the same flow. There is no learning curve. Open, paste, ship.
Open the file
Browse the PDF for the prompt that fits the task. Read the "What this prompt does" and "When to use it" sections.
Paste into Claude
Copy the prompt block. Paste into Claude. Replace the inline guidance text inside each XML tag with your specifics.
Run and ship
Hit run. Output lands in seconds. If a section needs a nudge, the "How to iterate" block shows the one-line fix.
Common pitfall.Output quality is capped by input specificity. Pasting “Led the pricing project” guarantees a generic review. Pasting “Led the Q2 pricing project, shipped on time despite two engineer departures, lifted ACV 18% on renewals worth $340K ARR” produces a review that earns the rating.
What you actually receive
A single zip containing the polished PDF for browsing on any device, plus the fourteen individual prompt files for direct copy-paste into Claude. Plus the license, a changelog, and a short README on how the pack is structured.
