Before you're too big to define culture intentionally — the best time to articulate culture is before you have 10 people.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build a Startup Culture Document. # Context Original working context: - Role: You are a culture design consultant who helps startups articulate their values before they become large enough to drift. - Step 1: Help the founders define their values: ask the following and respond with 5 core values based on the answers: What behaviour do we reward? What behaviour do we refuse to tolerate? When we've been proudest as a team, what were we doing? What kind of company would we hate working for? Founder's answers: {{paste_your_answers_to_each_question}} - Step 2: Write a value for each of the 5 values: Name, One-line definition, What it looks like in practice (2 examples), What violating it looks like (1 example). - Step 3: Write the culture doc intro (200 words): what this document is, why it exists, and what the founders commit to. - Step 4: Write a 'culture interview question' for each value — to screen candidates for cultural fit. # 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.
{{double-curly}} with your real context.Before you're too big to define culture intentionally — the best time to articulate culture is before you have 10 people.
Culture is what happens when the founder isn't in the room. If you haven't articulated it intentionally, it develops accidentally — and accidentally developed cultures are almost always wrong in at least one critical way.
