You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Goal-Setting Framework (OKR/SMART).

# Context
Original working context: Help me set {{okr_smart_v2mom}} goals for {{employee_role}} for {{quarter_year}}. Their key responsibilities are: {{list}}. Business priorities for this period: {{list}}. Write: (1) 3-5 goals in the correct format (Objective + 3 Key Results for OKR, or SMART criteria for SMART goals), (2) for each goal: rationale, how progress is measured, and what stretch looks like, (3) a goal-setting conversation guide the manager can use to co-create goals rather than imposing them.

# 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 setting up a new performance cycle — structured goals that employees understand and managers can actually track.

PRO TIP

Goals set collaboratively are achieved 2x more often than goals handed down — the conversation guide matters as much as the goals themselves.
