# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: My product: {{describe}}. Customer support volume: {{describe}}. Support channels currently used: {{email_whatsapp_in_app_call}}. Support team: {{just_me_1_person_small_team}}.
- Step 2: Design the support stack: For my volume and team size, which support tool is right? (Freshdesk, Intercom, Zendesk, Zoho Desk, or WhatsApp Business API?) What's the integration with the product?
- Step 3: Build the tier-1 support playbook: Top 20 most common questions and the exact answer for each. Format as a knowledge base.
- Step 4: Design the escalation framework: When does a ticket get escalated from tier-1 to tier-2 (engineering/product)? What's the SLA for each tier?
- Step 5: Create the support quality metrics: What does good support look like? Define the KPIs (CSAT, first response time, resolution time, escalation rate) and the benchmarks for each.

# Goal

- 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 — 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

As your customer base grows — a support system protects the customer experience and your team's sanity.

PRO TIP

Support is not a cost center — it's a product feedback channel, a retention tool, and a brand-building opportunity. The companies that treat every support interaction as a chance to create a loyal customer build businesses that grow by referral.
