You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a New Function Build Plan.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: We are building a new {{function}} from scratch. There are currently 0 people. Business context: {{describe}}. Help me map out what this function needs to look like at 3 stages: Founding (1-2 people), Building (3-6 people), Scaling (7+ people).
- Step 2: Define the first hire — who do we hire first and why? Write the role brief for that person.
- Step 3: Write an internal announcement for the new function that explains what it is, why we're building it, and who the first hire will own.

# 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 a net-new function — foundational thinking before first hire shapes everything that follows.

PRO TIP

The first hire into a new function needs to be a builder — they design the system others will operate. Hiring an operator first is the most common mistake.
