# Parent Message Drafter

The message you keep rewriting, done in under 150 words.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **what happened and what they need to know** (longer free text)
- **Draft it as** (choose one: an email, a phone call script, a report card comment)
- **Input 3** (choose one: share good news, raise a concern, ask for a meeting, follow up after a meeting)
- **Input 4** (choose one: warm, neutral, formal)
- **Input 5** (choose one: 100, 150, 250)

## Prompt template

I need to contact a parent and I have rewritten it four times. The situation:

{{what happened and what they need to know}}

Draft it as {{Draft it as}}. What I want out of it: {{Input 3}}. Tone: {{Input 4}}. Under {{Input 5}} words.

Open with something specific and true about their child, strip out every piece of school jargon, and end on one concrete next step.
