# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: My product: {{describe}}. Launch timeline: {{weeks_away}}. What I most need to learn from beta: {{describe}}. How many beta users I want: {{number}}.
- Step 2: Define the ideal beta user profile: Who should beta test — early adopters, existing customers, target ICP, or a mix? What makes someone a 'good' beta tester vs a 'bad' one?
- Step 3: Design the beta onboarding: How beta users are recruited (email, LinkedIn, community, existing waitlist), what they receive (access, onboarding doc, expectations), and how to set up for success in the first session.
- Step 4: Build the feedback collection system: Daily/weekly feedback format, bug reporting template, NPS trigger, and what questions to ask at the end of beta.
- Step 5: Design the beta-to-launch decision criteria: What feedback signals tell me I'm ready to launch? What signals tell me I need another round of iteration?

# 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

Before public launch — a structured beta program surfaces critical issues without destroying your reputation.

PRO TIP

The difference between beta testing and testing your friends is structure and selection. You want beta users who are in your target market, motivated to give honest feedback, and willing to use the product under real conditions — not people who'll say 'it's great!' to be kind.
