# Chore List to Agent Instructions

A reusable prompt that turns your own recurring chore list into agent-ready instructions with triggers, guardrails and stop rules.

## Start here

This prompt helps you turn your own messy chore list into short, checkable instructions you could paste into an AI tool that supports recurring custom instructions — or copy by hand as personal reminders.

**What to paste:** your own raw list of recurring chores. One line per chore is fine; rough notes are okay. Each line can mention the chore name, how often, who does it now, what is annoying, and any constraints (budget, tools, other people, quiet hours).

**Where to paste it:** an ordinary AI chat that accepts text. Paste the prompt first, then paste your chore list where it says "INPUT I WILL PASTE". No terminal, account setup or special feature is needed.

**How to check the output:** confirm the reply has all five sections in order (Chore Register, Missing Or Conflicting Inputs, Agent-Ready Instructions, Review Checklist, Uncertainty Notes). Each instruction must name a trigger, a scope, a forbidden-actions line, a stop rule and a human-review checkpoint, and must stay at the level of prepare, draft, remind or check. Anything phrased as sending, buying, paying, booking, deleting or contacting someone should be questioned.

## What you get

| Section | What it holds |
| --- | --- |
| Chore Register | Table of chore, frequency, trigger, constraints, unknowns |
| Missing Or Conflicting Inputs | Lines too vague or contradictory, with what is needed from you |
| Agent-Ready Instructions | One block per chore: name, trigger, scope, forbidden, stop rule, review checkpoint, manual alternative |
| Review Checklist | Short list of checks tied to your entries |
| Uncertainty Notes | Things you should verify yourself |

## Inputs, permissions and limits

- Only what you type is used; the prompt tells the assistant not to assume anything you did not provide.
- The output is text only. It does not schedule, send, buy or message anyone, and it cannot run in the background.
- If your list is one vague line, expect mostly questions back and at most one conditional instruction.
- You bring your own chore list; the assistant does not know your household.

## Privacy

Your chore list can reveal routines, absence from home and who lives with you. Use an AI service you are comfortable with, avoid addresses and access codes, and review anything before you copy it into a real tool.

source reviewed; runtime not tested

## FAQ

**Can I use this without any AI agent tool?** Yes. The Manual Alternative line in each block describes the same steps a person can do, for example a phone reminder or a paper checklist.

**What if my chore lines are incomplete?** Leave them incomplete. The prompt puts vague or contradictory lines into Missing Or Conflicting Inputs and asks you what is needed rather than guessing.

## Complete reusable prompt

You are helping me convert my own list of recurring chores into agent-ready custom instructions. I am the only source of truth about my household; do not assume anything I did not provide.

INPUT I WILL PASTE
A raw list of recurring chores. Each line may include: chore name, how often, who does it now, whats annoying about it, and any constraints (budget, tools, other people, quiet hours). Format does not matter; rough notes are fine.

YOUR TASK
1. Read my list and produce a structured chore register. For each chore, extract: chore name, stated frequency, current owner, trigger point, hard constraints, and what is unknown.
2. Flag any line where frequency, owner or trigger is missing or contradictory. Put those in a Missing Or Conflicting Inputs section instead of guessing.
3. Rewrite each sufficiently specified chore into a short custom instruction suitable for pasting into an agent tool that lets me define recurring instructions. Each instruction must contain: a name, a plain trigger condition, a scope statement of what the agent may prepare, a forbidden-actions line, a stop rule, and a human-review checkpoint.
4. Keep every instruction strictly at the level of prepare, draft, remind or check. Never phrase one as sending, buying, paying, booking, deleting, or contacting a person or service.
5. Provide a manual alternative for each instruction, describing the same steps a person can do without any agent feature.
6. End with a short review checklist I can run before I paste anything into a real tool.

OUTPUT FORMAT
Use Markdown with these sections in order:
- Chore Register (table: Chore | Frequency | Trigger | Constraints | Unknowns)
- Missing Or Conflicting Inputs (bulleted, each with what is needed from me)
- Agent-Ready Instructions (one numbered block per chore, each with Name, Trigger, Scope, Forbidden, Stop Rule, Review Checkpoint, Manual Alternative)
- Review Checklist (5 to 8 checks tied to my entries)
- Uncertainty Notes (anything I should verify myself before relying on it)

WORKED EXAMPLE (fictional, for shape only)
My input line: "bins out every Tuesday, usually me, sometimes forget, recycling only."
Your output block might look like:
Name: Weekly recycling reminder
Trigger: The evening before my stated collection day.
Scope: Prepare a reminder message I can read and a one-line checklist of what goes out.
Forbidden: Do not contact the council, do not schedule anything, do not mark it done.
Stop Rule: Stop after producing the reminder draft once per week; do not repeat.
Review Checkpoint: I confirm the collection day and recycling items before using the reminder.
Manual Alternative: Set a phone reminder the night before and keep a paper checklist by the door.
Then check against these pass/fail tests: (a) every instruction names a trigger drawn from my text or is listed as missing; (b) no instruction implies sending, paying or scheduling; (c) each has a stop rule; (d) the manual alternative works without any agent feature.

RULES
- Do not invent tools, integrations, prices, or availability.
- Do not assume I own smart devices or use a particular app.
- If my list is one vague line, return mostly questions in Missing Or Conflicting Inputs and give at most one conditional instruction.
- Keep the whole response compact; no filler.
- Before any external action, I must review and approve each instruction myself.

# 把家务清单转化为智能体指令

一个可复用提示词，把你自己列出的日常家务转化为智能体指令，包含触发条件、权限边界和停止规则。

## 开始使用

这个提示词帮你把自己凌乱的家务清单，转化为简短、可核对的指令，可以粘贴到支持长期自定义指令的 AI 工具中，也可以直接手抄成个人提醒。

**粘贴什么：** 你自己列的日常家务原始清单。每行一项即可，粗略记录也行。每行可以写明家务名称、频率、现在由谁做、哪里让人烦，以及任何限制条件（预算、工具、其他人、安静时段）。

**粘贴到哪里：** 任何能接收文字的普通 AI 对话。先粘贴提示词，再把家务清单粘贴到“INPUT I WILL PASTE”的位置。不需要终端、账号配置或特殊功能。

**如何检查输出：** 确认回复按顺序包含全部五个部分（Chore Register、Missing Or Conflicting Inputs、Agent-Ready Instructions、Review Checklist、Uncertainty Notes）。每条指令都必须写明触发条件、可准备范围、禁止事项、停止规则和人工确认点，并且只能停留在准备、起草、提醒或检查的层面。凡是写成发送、购买、支付、预订、删除或联系某人/某服务的表述，都要提出质疑。

## 你会得到什么

| 部分 | 内容 |
| --- | --- |
| Chore Register | 表格：家务、频率、触发条件、限制、未知项 |
| Missing Or Conflicting Inputs | 过于含糊或自相矛盾的行，以及需要你补充的信息 |
| Agent-Ready Instructions | 每项家务一个区块：名称、触发条件、范围、禁止事项、停止规则、确认点、人工替代方案 |
| Review Checklist | 与你条目对应的简短检查清单 |
| Uncertainty Notes | 你需要自己核实的事项 |

## 输入、权限与限制

- 只使用你输入的内容；提示词要求助手不得假设你没有提供的信息。
- 输出只是文字。它不会安排日程、发送消息、购买、支付或联系任何人，也不能在后台自动运行。
- 如果你的清单只有一句含糊的话，你会收到较多问题，最多只得到一条带条件的指令。
- 家务清单由你自己提供，助手并不了解你的家庭情况。

## 隐私

家务清单可能透露你的作息、何时不在家以及同住的人。请使用你信任的 AI 服务，不要写入门牌号、地址或门禁密码，并在粘贴到真实工具前先自己检查。

source reviewed; runtime not tested

## 常见问题

**没有任何智能体工具也能用吗？** 可以。每个区块里的“人工替代方案”描述了人可以照做的相同步骤，例如手机提醒或门口贴一张纸清单。

**如果我的家务行写得不完整怎么办？** 就保持不完整。提示词会把含糊或矛盾的行放进 Missing Or Conflicting Inputs，并向你询问缺什么，而不是自行猜测。

## 完整可复制提示词

你正在帮我把自己列出的日常家务清单，转换成可交给智能体使用的自定义指令。关于我的家庭情况，唯一的真实来源就是我本人；不要假设我没有提供的信息。

我会粘贴的输入
一份日常家务原始清单。每行可以包含：家务名称、多久做一次、现在由谁做、烦在哪里，以及任何限制条件（预算、工具、其他人、安静时段）。格式不重要；粗略记录就行。

你的任务
1. 阅读我的清单，生成一份结构化的家务登记表。对每项家务，提取：家务名称、已说明的频率、当前责任人、触发点、硬性限制，以及未知项。
2. 标出任何缺少或自相矛盾地描述频率、责任人或触发点的行。把这些放进 Missing Or Conflicting Inputs 部分，而不是自行猜测。
3. 把每项信息足够明确的家务改写成一条简短的自定义指令，适合粘贴到允许我定义长期指令的智能体工具中。每条指令必须包含：名称、明确的触发条件、智能体可准备内容的作用范围说明、禁止事项行、停止规则，以及人工确认点。
4. 让每条指令严格停留在准备、起草、提醒或检查的层面。绝不把任何一条写成发送、购买、支付、预订、删除，或联系某人/某服务。
5. 为每条指令提供一个手动替代方案，描述一个人在没有智能体功能时可以照做的相同步骤。
6. 最后给出一份简短的检查清单，供我在把任何内容粘贴到真实工具前使用。

输出格式
使用 Markdown，按以下顺序包含这些部分：
- Chore Register（表格：Chore | Frequency | Trigger | Constraints | Unknowns）
- Missing Or Conflicting Inputs（项目符号列表，每条写明需要我补充什么）
- Agent-Ready Instructions（每项家务一个编号区块，每个区块包含 Name、Trigger、Scope、Forbidden、Stop Rule、Review Checkpoint、Manual Alternative）
- Review Checklist（5 到 8 条与你条目对应的检查项）
- Uncertainty Notes（任何我在依赖它之前应自行核实的事项）

示例（虚构，仅示意结构）
我的输入行："bins out every Tuesday, usually me, sometimes forget, recycling only."
你的输出区块可能如下：
Name: Weekly recycling reminder
Trigger: The evening before my stated collection day.
Scope: Prepare a reminder message I can read and a one-line checklist of what goes out.
Forbidden: Do not contact the council, do not schedule anything, do not mark it done.
Stop Rule: Stop after producing the reminder draft once per week; do not repeat.
Review Checkpoint: I confirm the collection day and recycling items before using the reminder.
Manual Alternative: Set a phone reminder the night before and keep a paper checklist by the door.
然后用这些通过/不通过测试来检查：(a) 每条指令都写出一个来自我文本的触发条件，或被列为缺失项目；(b) 没有任何指令暗示发送、支付或安排日程；(c) 每条都有停止规则；(d) 手动替代方案在没有任何智能体功能时也能工作。

规则
- 不要凭空编造工具、集成、价格或可用性。
- 不要假设我拥有智能设备或使用某个特定应用。
- 如果我的清单只有一句含糊的话，就在 Missing Or Conflicting Inputs 中主要返回问题，并且最多给出一条带条件的指令。
- 让整个回复保持紧凑；不要填充内容。
- 在任何外部操作前，我必须亲自审查并批准每条指令。
