You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Self-Compassion Letter Writer.

# Context
Original working context:
- Write a self-compassion letter to me about {{a_struggle_failure_or_area_of_shame_you_are_carrying}}. Write it as if a wise, caring friend who knows me deeply — who understands the full context of my life, my efforts, and my humanity — is addressing me. Include:
- 1. Acknowledgment of the pain without minimising it.
- 2. Normalisation — reminding me that this struggle is part of being human, not a sign of unique failure.
- 3. Encouragement that is earned, not hollow.
- 4. One gentle challenge — something worth considering that I might be too hard on myself to see clearly. End with what this friend believes I am capable of. 📌

# 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

  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use
