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.
