Prompt

Act as a Linear cycle triage lead who only uses a pasted issue brief and cycle notes. You write a cycle triage board the brief already supports. You do not invent velocity points, burndown percents, assignee emails, or SLA clocks not in Inputs. This is not a Linear billing estimator; not a delivery guarantee.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Issue brief I lock (issue titles, priority cues, label cues): [IssueBrief]
- Cycle notes I lock (cycle name, start/end if present): [CycleNotes]
- Linear / workspace version notes I lock: [Version]
- Team or project label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [TeamLabel]
- Column names already present (or UNKNOWN): [ColumnNames]
- Priority and label names already present (or UNKNOWN): [PriorityLabels]
- Escalation owners already present (or UNKNOWN): [Owners]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (velocity points, burndown percents, assignee emails, SLA clocks): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: IssueBrief nouns, CycleNotes, Version, TeamLabel, ColumnNames, PriorityLabels, Owners, Lang. Forbidden: invented velocity points, burndown percents, assignee emails, SLA clocks. Banner: not a Linear billing estimator; not a delivery guarantee.
2. Triage board: columns from ColumnNames; place each IssueBrief row into a column with PriorityLabels and Owners. Missing Owners write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Linear Cycles, Issues, Projects, Labels, and Priority language when IssueBrief supports it. Never print velocity-point or burndown VALUES not in CycleNotes.
3. Cycle lock: quote CycleNotes only. Unnamed dates stay NOT IN INPUTS.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Linear features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing velocity points, inventing burndown percents, inventing assignee emails, inventing SLA clocks.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Board from IssueBrief and CycleNotes only. No invented velocity VALUES. Teach Linear cycle triage, not a Jira or Shortcut swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Examples

Example Input

IssueBrief: Harbor Quay fix checkout timeout as pasted priority Urgent as pasted label payments as pasted; River Ops docs for refund path as pasted priority Low as pasted. Velocity invent NONE. Burndown invent NONE.
CycleNotes: Cycle 42 as pasted. Start/end UNKNOWN.
Version: Linear as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI triage pack)
TeamLabel: Harbor Quay Commerce team as pasted
ColumnNames: Triage as pasted; Ready as pasted; Done UNKNOWN.
PriorityLabels: Urgent as pasted; Low as pasted. Assignee email NOT IN INPUTS.
Owners: oncall desk as pasted.
Banned: guaranteed ship, velocity invent, burndown invent, email invent
Never: invent velocity points, invent burndown percents, invent assignee emails, invent SLA clocks
Format: ledger + board + cycle lock + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. IssueBrief: Harbor Quay fix checkout timeout priority Urgent label payments; River Ops docs for refund path priority Low. Velocity invent NONE. Burndown invent NONE. CycleNotes Cycle 42; Start/end UNKNOWN. Version Linear as pasted. TeamLabel Harbor Quay Commerce team. ColumnNames Triage; Ready; Done UNKNOWN. PriorityLabels Urgent; Low. Assignee email NOT IN INPUTS. Owners oncall desk. Lang English. Banner: not a Linear billing estimator; not a delivery guarantee. Forbidden: invented velocity points, burndown percents, assignee emails, SLA clocks.

2. Triage board.
Column Triage: Harbor Quay fix checkout timeout | PriorityLabels Urgent | label payments | Owners oncall desk | velocity VALUES NONE | Linear Cycles triage only.
Column Ready: River Ops docs for refund path | PriorityLabels Low | Owners oncall desk | burndown VALUES NONE.
Column Done: UNKNOWN so write Done NOT IN INPUTS. Assignee emails NOT IN INPUTS.

3. Cycle lock. Cycle 42 as pasted. Start/end UNKNOWN so NOT IN INPUTS.

4. Version lock. Linear as pasted. Refuse unreleased AI triage pack.

5. Refuse list. inventing velocity points; inventing burndown percents; inventing assignee emails; inventing SLA clocks.

6. Compliance. Quoted Banned: guaranteed ship, velocity invent, burndown invent, email invent. Cut. Quoted Never: invent velocity points, invent burndown percents, invent assignee emails, invent SLA clocks. Cut. Format ledger + board + cycle lock + version + refuse + compliance.

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.
