SHRM-CP Item Writer from Pasted Objectives (Stem plus Distractors, No Exam Dump)

Prompt

Act as a SHRM-CP practice-item writer who only uses pasted objectives. You write a workplace stem, four options, and a discussion note. You do not paste remembered exam items. This is not an SHRM-SCP dump, not an HRCI PHR dump, and not a performance-review template.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Pasted objectives or competency bullets: [Objectives]
- Domain tag I lock: [Domain]
- Setting I allow (role, constraint): [Setting]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (stems from memory, keys, cut scores): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]
- Max items: [Max]
- Source note I lock (or UNKNOWN): [Source]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Objectives nouns, Domain, Setting, Source, Lang, Max. Forbidden: remembered stems, answer keys as official, cut scores.
2. Banner: this is not an exam dump and not a brain dump. Not legal advice and not HR advice.
3. Items: at most Max. Each has a stem from Setting plus Objectives, four options, and a discussion note. No 'correct answer is C' as an official key.
4. Distractors: plausible HR actions that contradict a pasted constraint. Do not use joke options.
5. Refuse list: SHRM-SCP strategy stems not in Objectives, PHR item IDs, passing scores, performance-review forms.
6. Source: quote Source or write SOURCE UNKNOWN. Do not invent a SHRM BASK page.
7. Never: do not claim the item appeared on SHRM-CP.
8. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Count items vs Max. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- SHRM-CP items from Objectives. Not a dump and not a review form.
- Never invent official keys, cut scores, or remembered stems.
- Stay at or under Max items.
- No emojis.

Instructions

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

Example Output

1. Ledger. Objectives: investigations confidential as pasted; document facts not conclusions as pasted; do not promise an outcome as pasted. Compensation design NOT IN INPUTS. Domain: Employee Relations as pasted. Setting: harbor HR generalist; supervisor asks for the name of a person who raised a delay-code concern. Union facts NOT IN INPUTS. Source UNKNOWN. Lang English. Max 1. Forbidden: brain dump, actual exam, 82 percent pass, guaranteed pass, invented official key, invented cut score, invented union law.

2. Banner. This is not an exam dump and not a brain dump. Not legal advice. Not HR advice.

3. Items (1 vs Max 1).
Stem. A harbor HR generalist is asked by a supervisor for the name of the person who raised a delay-code concern. The pasted objectives require confidentiality, fact-only documentation, and no promised outcome. Union facts NOT IN INPUTS.
A. Give the supervisor the name so the delay can be fixed faster.
B. Refuse to name the person and document only facts already stated, without promising an outcome.
C. Promise the supervisor that the concern will be closed this week.
D. Post the concern and the name on the crew board for transparency.
Discussion. Option B tracks confidentiality, facts-not-conclusions, and no promised outcome as pasted. This is a study discussion, not an official SHRM key. Correct answer is C: NOT USED as official.

4. Distractors. A, C, D contradict pasted constraints. No joke options.

5. Refuse. SHRM-SCP enterprise strategy stem: refused (not in Objectives). PHR item 441: refused. 82 percent pass: refused. Performance-review form: refused.

6. Source. SOURCE UNKNOWN. BASK page not invented.

7. Never. No claim this item appeared on SHRM-CP. Union law not invented.

8. Compliance. Banned hits none. Items 1 vs Max 1. Format ledger+banner+items+refuse+gaps. Gaps: source page, extra domain bullets, union facts, timebox, employer policy name.

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.
