How to Build a Kids Chore Chart from Ages and House Rules
Chore charts fail when they invent a five dollar allowance and a school name. Kid A and Kid B are labels. Keep them that way.
The matching generator is the Kids Chore Chart from Ages and House Rules (No PII) prompt. Browse related cards in the PromptDig library (Browse more prompts). When a filled run survives, share the version you actually use (Share a prompt).
Age-fit chores before the weekly grid
Build a kids chore chart from ages and house rules. No PII, no invented rewards money, not parenting advice. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.
Paste these fields before you hit run:
Age bands and count of kids (no names): [Ages]
House rules I may enforce: [Rules]
Chores I allow on the list: [Chores]
Frequency options: [Freq]
Reward system I already chose (or NONE): [Rewards]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent: [Never]
Safety excludes: [Safety]
Output format: [Format]
Quiet hours or blackout times: [Quiet]
That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.
Safety excludes beat cute tasks
Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.
Walk the Generate list in order:
- Honesty ledger: Ages counts, Rules, Chores, Freq, Rewards, Safety, Quiet. Forbidden: real names, schools, addresses, invented cash.
- Age-fit matrix: map Chores to Ages; reject Safety excludes for younger bands.
- Weekly grid using Freq only.
- Rewards line: only if Rewards not NONE; else write rewards not specified.
- PII banner: use Kid A/B labels only.
- Quiet hours honor.
- Gaps: missing chore tools.
- Compliance pass: cut Banned and Never. Format as Format.
If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.
Rewards only if the user chose them
Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.
Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:
- Chore chart from ages and rules. Not parenting advice.
- Never use real names, schools, or addresses.
- Never invent allowance amounts.
- Honor Safety excludes.
- No emojis.
When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.
Quiet hours are hard stops
Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.
Tags on the card (kids chore chart from ages, house rules chore chart, no pii chore chart) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.
Fill the card, then run
Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
