You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Functional Capability Framework.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I want to build a capability framework for {{function}}. What are the 8-10 core capabilities for high performance in this function? Define each capability with a 1-sentence description.
- Step 2: Write behavioural indicators for each capability at 3 levels: developing, proficient, expert.
- Step 3: Design how the framework is used in: hiring (screening criteria), performance reviews (assessment dimensions), and development planning (learning pathways).

# 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.

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 building functional capability infrastructure — a framework that connects talent decisions across all people processes.

PRO TIP

Validate capability definitions with top performers in the function — they should recognise their own behaviours in the 'expert' column.
