You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a 1:1 Meeting Framework.

# Context
Original working context: Act as an engineering leadership coach. Design a 1:1 meeting framework for an engineering manager with {{number}} direct reports. Include: (1) 1:1 frequency and duration recommendations by relationship type (new hire, senior IC, struggling performer), (2) an agenda template that balances relationship, project, and career discussions, (3) question bank β€” 20 questions that draw out honest feedback, blockers, and career aspirations, (4) how to handle the 'everything is fine' direct report, (5) how to ensure 1:1s feel useful to the report, not just the manager.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When managing engineers and wanting 1:1s that are substantive, not just status updates.

PRO TIP

The best 1:1 question is 'What's the one thing that, if I could change it, would make your work significantly better?' β€” it reveals real blockers and real frustrations.
