Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

I'm hosting a housewarming for about 70 people, 60 adults and 10 children. I'm serving a large grazing board plus drinks in big buckets of ice. Make me a shopping list with approximate quantities for cheeses, cured meats, crackers, bread, fruit, nuts, jams and pickles, suggest drinks for adults and kids, and sketch how to lay out the table.

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: A party food and drinks shopping list sized to my guest count.

Questions to ask me first:
- How many adults and children are coming?
- What are you serving, and for how many hours?
- Any dietary needs or budget limit?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Guests: [ADULTS, CHILDREN]
- Menu style: [E.G. GRAZING TABLE]
- Party length: [HOURS]
- Budget and dietary needs: [AMOUNT, ALLERGIES]

Rules:
- Give quantities per item, not just item names.
- Include nonalcoholic and kid-friendly drinks.
- Label anything with nuts or other common allergens.
- Note which items can be bought or prepped ahead.

Checkpoint: Show the food quantities before the drinks and layout.

If you get stuck: If you're unsure how much people eat, give a range and say why.

Verify before you finish: The quantities add up to a sensible amount per guest.

Output: A shopping list by section, a drinks plan and a simple table layout.

Done when: I can shop for the party in one trip.

Outcome

Johannah Ross was planning a housewarming for about 70 people, 60 adults and 10 children, with a large grazing board and big buckets of ice for drinks. Ross told Claude about the party and asked for a shopping list based on the number of guests. Claude produced a cohesive list with six cheeses and approximate quantities for each, and did the same for cured meats, crackers, bread, fruit, nuts, jams and pickled items. It also suggested drinks, including a ratio of beer to coolers, nonalcoholic options, and juices and non-caffeinated sodas for the kids, plus a template for laying out the grazing table. Ross called it not a complex use case, but very helpful.
