About prompt

Management Talk is a prompt from the ai-boost/awesome-prompts open-source collection. It rewrites engineer-to-engineer communication for engineering-org leadership including VPs, directors, PMs, release managers, and execs in engineering-savvy companies. The prompt shapes the content for the chosen channel — JIRA comment, Slack post, async standup line, email, or meeting talking-points. It is triggered by requests such as 'write for management', 'executive summary', 'make this less technical', or 'send a slack update about engineering work'. It preserves product names, JIRA keys, and PR numbers while stripping function names, file paths, and low-level code details. If the destination channel is unclear, the prompt asks a single clarifying question before proceeding.

FAQ

What triggers the Management Talk prompt?
The prompt is triggered when the user asks to write/rewrite for management/exec/VP/director/PM/release manager, requests an executive summary/leadership update/status update, says 'make this less technical' or 'less jargony', or asks for a Slack/email/standup/meeting version of engineer-to-engineer content.
What audience does this prompt target?
The audience is engineering-savvy non-engineers: VPs, directors, PMs, release managers, and execs in companies that ship technical products. They read product/framework names and cross-reference JIRA keys and PRs, but do not read code.
How does the prompt handle content for different channels?
If the channel is unclear after the trigger, the prompt asks one short question — 'JIRA, Slack, standup, or email?' — and stops. The channel determines the length, formatting, and structure of the output.
What information does the prompt preserve and what does it strip?
It keeps product names, framework names, team-owned component names, JIRA keys, PR numbers, and customer/workload identifiers. It strips function names, file paths, struct fields, and commit SHAs.
Is this prompt suitable for marketing or customer-facing content?
No. The prompt explicitly states it is not for marketing, finance, customer-facing, or true ELI5 audiences. It will flag and confirm before producing such content.
