A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

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.

Here is our 80-page home inspection report. Extract every maintenance item and organize them by closing week, season and recurring frequency, using the report's completion dates and recommended intervals to work out when each is next due. Once I've reviewed the list, create one-off or annually recurring Google Calendar events and invite my husband to each.

Optional stronger version

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 maintenance schedule for our new home, built from the inspection report and put in our calendar.

Questions to ask me first:
- When did you close, and which calendar should the events go in?
- Who should be invited to each event?
- Any tasks you'll hire out rather than do yourselves?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Inspection report: [PDF]
- Closing date: [DATE]
- Calendar and invitees: [CALENDAR, EMAILS]
- Tasks to hire out: [LIST]

Rules:
- Quote the report's page for each task.
- Use the report's recommended interval; if none, say so and suggest one.
- Group urgent safety items first.
- Don't create any events until I approve the list.

Checkpoint: Show the full task list with due dates before touching the calendar.

If you get stuck: If an item is unclear in the report, list it under 'ask the inspector'.

Verify before you finish: Every task has a page reference, a due date and a repeat rule.

Output: A task table plus calendar events with reminders.

Done when: Our home maintenance is scheduled for the year ahead.

Outcome

After buying a house, Johannah Ross uploaded the 80-page inspection report to Claude and asked for a list of home maintenance tasks by timeline, from closing week to seasonal jobs. Because the report noted when tasks had last been done and suggested how often to repeat them, Claude could work out when each was next due. Ross reviewed the list for anything to correct or combine, then had Claude create one-off and annually recurring events in Ross's personal Google Calendar, with Ross's husband invited to each one.
