# Lost-and-Found Notice Writer Prompt

A reusable prompt that turns your notes into a short lost-and-found notice plus a private owner-confirmation checklist.

## Quick Use

Paste the prompt (appended below) into any ordinary AI chat that accepts text. Then paste your own notes: what was lost or found, where and roughly when, how to reach you, one private detail only the true owner would know, and any constraints (brief, no phone number public, deadline).

If you have not pasted notes yet, the prompt asks for them first. Check the output against three things:

- Every fact in the public notice traces back to your notes; anything you left out shows as `[to confirm: ...]`.
- The private detail appears only in the owner-confirmation checklist, never in the notice.
- No reward, threat, deadline or contact method was invented.

## What this prompt does

It writes four sections from your notes: a 60-120 word public notice, a 3-5 question owner-confirmation checklist, a 2-3 sentence group-chat version, and a list of anything missing. The design goal is simple: a stranger reading the notice cannot fake ownership, because the identifying detail stays hidden and is turned into a question only the real owner can answer.

## Missing inputs and limitations

Without a location or contact method, the notice will contain `[to confirm: ...]` placeholders rather than guesses. If two of your notes conflict, the prompt asks which is correct instead of choosing. It drafts text only; it cannot post, send or verify anything on your behalf.

## Privacy note

You are sharing your notes with an AI service. Keep the private detail minimal — something a real handler would notice, not a full serial number or personal data. This prompt is preparation only; source reviewed; runtime not tested.

## FAQ

**Can a false claimant pass the checklist?** Not easily, if the private detail is genuinely hidden. Use a question that only someone who handled the item could answer.

**Does it work for found items too?** Yes. Describe the item you found and your stated contact method; the checklist still screens the person who comes forward.

## Complete reusable prompt

# Lost-and-Found Notice Writer (With Proof-of-Ownership Check)

Help me turn my notes into a short, clear notice I can post or send. Do not invent any detail I did not give you. If something needed is missing, ask me for it or mark it as a blank to fill in — never guess.

## What I will paste below
- What was lost or found (item description I can share publicly)
- Where and roughly when it was last seen or found
- How someone should reach me to claim or return it
- A private detail that ONLY the true owner would know (I will keep this out of the public notice; it goes in the checklist section)
- Any constraints (keep it brief, no phone number public, deadline, etc.)

## What to produce
1. **Public notice** — 60-120 words, plain headings, neutral and friendly tone. Include the shareable description, location, rough time, and my stated contact method. Do NOT include the private owner-confirmation detail.
2. **Owner-confirmation checklist** — 3-5 questions someone claiming the item must answer correctly before I hand it over or return it. At least one must use the private detail I gave you, rephrased as a question that does not reveal the answer.
3. **Optional short version** — one 2-3 sentence message for a group chat or DM.
4. **Missing-info list** — anything I left out that a notice needs (e.g., no contact method, no location, vague time). If nothing is missing, say so.

## Rules
- Use ONLY the details I supplied. If a detail is absent, write `[to confirm: ...]` instead of filling it in.
- Output is preparation only. You are drafting text for me — I will post or send it myself. Do not claim it has been posted anywhere.
- Do not add a reward, a threat, legal language, or urgency I did not ask for.
- Keep the public notice free of anything that would let a false claimant pass — no make, model, color combination, or serial number if I marked it private.
- If my notes conflict (e.g., two different locations), ask which is correct rather than choosing one.

## Worked example (fictional)
LABELLED FICTIONAL INPUT:
- Item: black laptop sleeve, small tear on the zipper pull
- Where/when: left in study room B of the city library, around 4-5pm Tuesday
- Contact: reply to this post / email "founditem@example.com"
- Private owner detail: a sticker of a red lighthouse inside the front pocket
- Constraint: no phone number public, keep it to ~100 words

illustrative output shape:
Public notice ~90 words: describes the sleeve, study room B, Tuesday afternoon, how to reach me, no mention of the sticker.
Owner-confirmation checklist: e.g. "What is inside the front pocket?", "What does the zipper pull look like?", "What room was it left in?"
Short version: 2 sentences.
Missing-info list: "Nothing missing."

## Checks before I use it
- Every fact in the notice traces back to my notes; anything I did not supply shows as `[to confirm: ...]`.
- The private detail appears ONLY in the checklist, never in the public notice.
- The checklist can only be answered by someone who actually handled the item.
- No invented reward, deadline, or contact method.

Now ask for my notes if I have not pasted them, then produce the four sections.

# 失物招领启事撰写提示词（含失主身份核验）

一套可复用的提示词，把你的零散信息整理成简短的失物招领启事，并附一份不公开的失主身份核验清单。

## 快速使用

把提示词（见文末附录）粘贴到任何接受文本的普通 AI 对话中，然后粘贴你自己的信息：丢失或捡到了什么、在哪里和大概什么时候、如何联系你、一个只有真正失主才知道的私密细节，以及任何限制（要简短、不公开电话、截止时间等）。

如果你还没粘贴信息，提示词会先向你索要。拿到结果后核对三件事：

- 启事里的每个事实都能对应到你的信息；你没提供的部分显示为 `[to confirm: ...]`。
- 私密细节只出现在失主核验清单里，绝不进入启事正文。
- 没有凭空添加酬谢、威胁、截止时间或联系方式。

## 这套提示词做什么

它根据你的信息生成四个部分：60–120 字的公开启事、3–5 题的失主核验清单、2–3 句的群聊简版，以及缺失信息清单。设计思路很直接：读到启事的人无法冒充失主，因为关键识别细节被隐藏，并转化为只有真正失主才能回答的问题。

## 缺少输入与局限

如果没有地点或联系方式，启事会用 `[to confirm: ...]` 占位，而不是替你猜测。如果两条信息互相冲突，提示词会问哪条正确，而不是擅自选择。它只负责起草文字，不能替你发布、发送或核实任何内容。

## 隐私说明

你的信息会发送给 AI 服务。私密细节尽量精简——写真正经手过物品的人会注意到的特征，而不是完整序列号或个人数据。本提示词仅用于准备文本；来源已查阅，未做运行时测试。

## 常见问题

**冒充者能通过核验清单吗？** 只要私密细节确实没公开，就很难。用只有经手过物品的人才能回答的问题。

**捡到东西也能用吗？** 可以。描述你捡到的物品和你愿意公开的联系方式，清单同样能筛出冒领者。

## 完整可复制提示词

# 失物招领启事撰写器（含所有权核验）

帮我把笔记整理成一条简短、清楚的启事，方便我发布或发送。不要编造我没有提供的任何细节。如果缺少必要信息，请向我询问，或标记为待填空白——绝不要猜测。

## 我将在下方粘贴的内容
- 丢失或捡到了什么（可以公开分享的物品描述）
- 最后看到或捡到它的地点和大概时间
- 别人应如何联系我以认领或归还
- 一个只有真正失主才知道的私密细节（我会把它排除在公开启事之外；它放在核验清单部分）
- 任何限制（保持简短、不公开电话、截止时间等）

## 需要产出的内容
1. **公开启事** — 60–120 字，使用朴素标题，语气中立友好。包含可分享的描述、地点、大概时间和我指定的联系方式。不要包含私密的所有者核验细节。
2. **失主核验清单** — 3–5 个问题，认领物品的人在交还或归还前必须正确回答。至少有一个问题必须使用我给你的私密细节，并将其改写为不泄露答案的问题。
3. **可选简短版** — 一条 2–3 句的消息，用于群聊或私信。
4. **缺失信息清单** — 我遗漏了但启事需要的任何内容（例如没有联系方式、没有地点、时间含糊）。如果什么都不缺，就说明没有缺失。

## 规则
- 只使用我提供的细节。如果某个细节缺失，写成 `[to confirm: ...]`，不要自行填入。
- 输出仅为准备工作。你是在替我起草文字——我会自己发布或发送。不要声称它已在任何地方发布。
- 不要添加我没有要求的酬谢、威胁、法律用语或紧迫感。
- 公开启事中不得包含任何会让冒领者通过核验的内容——如果我标记为私密，就不要写品牌、型号、颜色组合或序列号。
- 如果我的笔记互相冲突（例如两个不同地点），请询问哪个正确，而不是擅自选择。

## 完整示例（虚构）
标记为虚构的输入：
- 物品：黑色笔记本电脑内胆包，拉链拉头上有一处小裂口
- 地点/时间：周二下午 4–5 点左右，落在市图书馆 B 研讨室
- 联系方式：回复本帖 / 发邮件至 "founditem@example.com"
- 私密失主细节：前袋内侧有一张红色灯塔贴纸
- 限制：不公开电话号码，控制在约 100 字以内

示例输出形态：
公开启事约 90 字：描述内胆包、B 研讨室、周二下午、如何联系我，不提及贴纸。
失主核验清单：例如“前袋里有什么？”、“拉链拉头是什么样子？”、“它落在哪个房间？”
简短版：2 句话。
缺失信息清单：“没有缺失。”

## 我使用前的检查
- 启事中的每个事实都能追溯到我的笔记；我没有提供的任何内容都显示为 `[to confirm: ...]`。
- 私密细节只出现在核验清单中，绝不出现在公开启事里。
- 核验清单只能由真正经手过物品的人回答。
- 没有凭空添加酬谢、截止时间或联系方式。

如果我没有粘贴笔记，请先向我索要，然后产出这四个部分。
