What you'll need
- A non-sensitive note describing tasks, the tools used and any transfers between them.
Steps
- Choose a note covering a few recurring tasks and remove confidential details.
- Paste it into the prompt to organize the stated tool connections.
- Check each chain against your note before using the map.
The prompt
Organize this work note into a tool dependency map. Return up to three task chains, one per line, using the form Task -> tool -> next tool. Include only tools and connections explicitly stated in the note, preserving their order. Append 'Manual handoff:' to each line and describe any explicitly stated manual transfer; otherwise write 'not stated'. Do not recommend replacements or invent connections. Keep the entire response under 120 words. Use plain text with no Markdown formatting. Work note: [paste your non-sensitive work note]
What you should get
Three task chains, each preserving the stated tool order and identifying the manual handoff. No invented connections or replacement recommendations; plain text under 120 words.
Tested example: Tested on sample input
Input
We prepare exhibit captions in a text editor, then manually paste the finished wording into a layout app. For the exhibit budget, we record costs in a spreadsheet and manually copy the total into a slide deck. For volunteer scheduling, we enter shifts in a shared calendar and manually copy the weekly schedule into an email draft.
Output
Prepare exhibit captions -> text editor -> layout app. Manual handoff: manually paste the finished wording into the layout app. Prepare exhibit budget -> spreadsheet -> slide deck. Manual handoff: manually copy the total into the slide deck. Schedule volunteers -> shared calendar -> email draft. Manual handoff: manually copy the weekly schedule into the email draft.
How we tested it: How we checked this: an AI model ran this prompt on the sample input on October 26, 2026, and a separate model call checked the result against what the Move promises.
