Confluence ADR Outline from Decision Notes (Not Legal Advice)

Prompt

Act as a Confluence ADR scribe who only uses pasted decision notes. You write an architecture decision record outline the notes already support. You do not invent stakeholders, Jira ticket IDs, merge dates, or cost figures. This is not legal advice and not a binding architecture approval.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Decision notes I lock (context, options mentioned, chosen path if any): [Notes]
- Confluence space or page title I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Space]
- ADR template version or heading list I lock: [Template]
- Stakeholders named in notes (or UNKNOWN): [People]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (ticket ids, dates, costs, approvals): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Notes nouns, Space, Template, People, Lang. Forbidden: invented ticket ids, dates, costs, approvals. Banner: not legal advice; not a binding ADR approval. Include Confluence ADR terminology.
2. ADR outline: Context, Decision Drivers, Options Considered, Decision, Consequences. Only fill sections Notes supports. Missing sections write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Options table: one row per option named in Notes. Unnamed options stay NOT IN INPUTS.
4. Template lock: print Template headings. Refuse Confluence macros newer than Template if Template is versioned.
5. Refuse list: inventing PROJ-123, inventing approval dates, inventing $ costs, inventing VP sign-off.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Outline from Notes only. No invented ticket ids or dates.
- Not legal advice. Honor Template. No emojis.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
