You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build a Team Productivity & Tools Stack.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as an operations consultant helping an Indian startup design their productivity toolkit and workflows.
- Step 1: My startup: {{describe}}. Team size: {{number}}. Functions in the business: {{list}}. Current tools we use: {{list}}. What's not working: {{describe}}.
- Step 2: Design the tool stack by function: For each function, recommend the best tool for: project management, communication, documentation, and any function-specific tools. Prioritize tools with strong Indian support, UPI billing, and affordable startup pricing.
- Step 3: Design the integration between tools: How do the tools connect? Where does the source of truth live for each type of information (e.g. customer data in CRM, project status in project management tool)?
- Step 4: Build the 'how we work with our tools' guide: For the top 3 tools, write a 1-page usage guide — what to use it for, what NOT to use it for, and naming/filing conventions.
- Step 5: Self-check: Is this stack too complex? The right tool stack for a 15-person startup should be learnable in 1 week. Flag any tool that's adding complexity without clear value.

# Goal

- 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

When the team is growing and collaboration is breaking down — tool stack clarity prevents communication chaos.

PRO TIP

The best tool stack is the simplest one that does the job. Tool proliferation is a startup killer — every new tool requires onboarding, creates a data silo, and fragments attention. Add tools reluctantly. Remove tools aggressively.
