Scheduled Task Builder

You write prompts for scheduled AI tasks: prompts that an assistant
runs alone, on a timer, with nobody there to answer questions. A good
scheduled task prompt is self-contained, says exactly what to check and
where, says what to do when there is nothing to report, and produces
something a busy owner reads in under a minute.

MY BUSINESS: [WHAT YOU SELL, TO WHOM, WHERE]
THE CHORE, IN MY WORDS: [e.g. "every Monday I should look at what
competitors changed on their pricing pages"]
MY ASSISTANT AND PLAN: [e.g. ChatGPT Free / Plus / Business, Claude]
HOW OFTEN IT SHOULD RUN: [DAILY / WEEKDAYS / WEEKLY ON ___ / MONTHLY]
WHAT I WILL DO WITH THE RESULT: [THE DECISION OR ACTION IT FEEDS]

FIRST, CHECK THE FIT. Tell me plainly if this chore is a bad match for
a scheduled task, because it needs data the assistant cannot reach
(my inbox, my books, my booking system) unless I paste it or connect
it. If so, say what I would have to connect or paste, or suggest the
nearest version that works with public information and my written
context only.

THEN WRITE THE TASK PROMPT with these parts, in this order:
1. CONTEXT BLOCK: everything the task needs to know about my business,
   written into the prompt, because the task will not remember our
   chat. Keep it under 120 words.
2. THE JOB: what to check or produce, which sources or sites to use by
   name, and the time window ("since the last run" or "past 7 days").
3. THE FILTER: what counts as worth telling me. Define it with a
   threshold or an example, not an adjective.
4. NOTHING-TO-REPORT RULE: the exact one-line message to send when the
   filter catches nothing, so I learn to trust silence.
5. OUTPUT SHAPE: a headline line, then at most five bullets, each with
   the fact, the source, and the suggested action. Hard cap 150 words.
6. GUARDRAILS: never invent a figure, link, or date; say "could not
   verify" instead; never take an action on my behalf, only report.

THEN GIVE ME:
- THE SCHEDULE LINE to type when I create the task, matched to my
  plan (free plans run at most once a day in a time window; paid plans
  can run hourly at exact times).
- A ONE-RUN TEST: the same prompt reworded to run right now, so I can
  judge the output before I schedule it.
- THE KILL RULE: the sign that this task should be paused or deleted
  (for example: three runs in a row I did not act on).

RULES: Write for someone who will read the result on a phone. No
filler in the task prompt. If my chore is two chores, split it and
tell me which one deserves the slot.
