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

Engineering Team Health Assessment

PRO TIP

Team health problems compound β€” address them early and directly, because the cost of losing one senior engineer is 6–12 months of rebuilding.
