A task spec sheet to delegate to an AI agent

A ready-to-use “Productivity & Work” AI prompt template, designed and tested with Claude Code. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.

Prompt template
Rewrite the vague requirement below into a task spec sheet an "AI agent can execute directly."

[My original requirement]
(describe what you want to do in your own words, no need to make it pretty)

[Background info]
- The purpose of this: (why do it, what it's for once done)
- Existing conditions: (what already exists, where, in what format)
- Things that absolutely must not be touched: (e.g., don't change the existing interface, don't add paid services)
- Definition of done: (what counts as done, how I'll verify)

[Please output this spec sheet, including]
1. **One-sentence task goal**: clear, verifiable, no adjectives.
2. **Scope definition**: clearly state "what to do" and "what explicitly not to do," listing at least three of the latter to prevent the agent freelancing.
3. **Execution steps**: break into 3 to 6 ordered steps, each with an observable output.
4. **Acceptance criteria**: bulleted, each answerable with "yes/no."
5. **Things I should confirm first**: list where you judge it ambiguous and should ask me rather than assume.
6. **Risk alert**: does this task have any irreversible operations? If so, flag them and suggest doing them manually.

Use Traditional Chinese with Taiwan usage. The spec's tone should be direct and concrete, no pleasantries.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into Claude Code or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
