What’s Inside

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 prompts
01

Annual Review, Senior Direct Report

Locked range

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.

02

Annual Review, Junior Direct Report

Locked range

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.

03

Mid-Year Check-in

Locked range

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.

04

30/60/90 Day New Hire Review

Locked range

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.

07

Peer Feedback Synthesis

Guideline

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 prompts
06

Promotion Case Brief

Locked range

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.

08

Calibration Prep

Locked range

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 prompts
09

Weekly 1:1 Agenda

Guideline

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.

10

Skip-Level 1:1 Prep

Guideline

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 prompts
05

Performance Improvement Plan Draft

Locked range

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.

13

Difficult Feedback Script

Locked range

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 prompts
11

Team Standup Digest

Guideline

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.

12

Blocker Triage

Guideline

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.

14

Departure Communication

Locked range

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.

How to Use a Prompt

Three steps. Every time.

Every prompt follows the same flow. There is no learning curve. Open, paste, ship.

01

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.

02

Paste into Claude

Copy the prompt block. Paste into Claude. Replace the inline guidance text inside each XML tag with your specifics.

03

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.

Questions

Common questions

The free guide teaches you the framework. The pack is the work already done. Fourteen complete prompts, calibrated through real review cycles, ready to paste into Claude.
They are tuned and tested in Claude. Most will produce usable output in other models, but the locked word-count behavior, refusal-to-fabricate language, and SBI structure are calibrated for Claude. Use Claude for the strongest results.
A purchase covers a single seat. The license terms are in the LICENSE.md file inside the pack. Multi-seat team licenses are available. Email nathan@symphonylabs.ai if you need one.
The receipt email Lemon Squeezy sends at purchase contains a permanent download link and your license key. The link does not expire. If you lose the email, the customer portal at app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders sends you a magic link by email and lists every purchase. Detailed steps are at /suite/redownload.
No. Minor version updates ship free to all purchasers. We email you when a new version is out.
Every prompt file ships with a "How to iterate" section. Output quality is capped by input specificity. Most underwhelming first runs are fixed by tightening the Context, not changing the prompt. If you are still stuck, email us.
