How to Build a Packing List from a Trip Brief and Baggage Limit

Packing lists fail when they mint a 22C forecast and a checked-bag fee the brief never stated. Limits were 7kg carry-on. Honor that.

The matching generator is the Packing List from a Trip Brief and Baggage Limit (No Invented Airline Rules) (Packing List From A Trip Brief And Baggage Limit No Invented Airline Rules) 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).

Quote Brief activities before clothes

Build a packing list from a trip brief and baggage limits you paste. No invented airline rules, weather, or brands. 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:

Trip brief (dates, places, activities): [Brief]
Baggage limits I can prove (weight, pieces, sizes): [Limits]
Clothes and gear I already own: [Owned]
Must-pack documents or devices: [Must]
Laundry access (or NONE): [Laundry]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent: [Never]
Priority rule if overweight: [Priority]
Output format: [Format]
Companion notes (or NONE): [Companions]

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.

Masses only where the user gave kg

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:

1. Honesty ledger: Brief facts, Limits, Owned, Must, Laundry, Companions. Forbidden: airline fees, weather numbers, brands not in Inputs.
2. Day activity map from Brief only. No invented climate.
3. Draft list from Owned + Must. Mark each item against Limits weight/pieces if given.
4. If overweight per Priority, cut Owned items first, never invent a new bag fee workaround.
5. Laundry note: only if Laundry is not NONE; else write laundry not specified.
6. Documents and devices checklist from Must only.
7. Gaps: missing sizes or weights in Limits.
8. 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.

Cut duplicate shoes before inventing fees

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:

• Packing list from Brief and Limits only. Not airline policy advice.
• Never invent weather, fees, or brands.
• Do not duplicate the climate-and-bag-limit generator; require a trip brief.
• If Limits lack weight, say weight unknown rather than guessing kg.
• 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.

Laundry not specified stays blank

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 (trip packing list from brief, baggage limit packing list, no invented airline rules) 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.
