# First Week Plan for a New Hire

A day by day first week for a new starter in a team where the owner is also the trainer.

## 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

- **New starter arrives** (choose one: tomorrow, next Monday, in two weeks)
- **role** (free text, e.g. "role")
- **type of business** (free text, e.g. "type of business")
- **number** (free text, e.g. "number")
- **Input 5** (choose one: 30 minutes, an hour, two hours)
- **The things they must be able to do unsupervised by the end of the week** (longer free text)

## Prompt template

## First week plan

New starter arrives {{New starter arrives}}. It is a {{role}} in my {{type of business}}. Team size including me: {{number}}. I will be the one training them but I also have to run the place, so I get maybe {{Input 5}} a day with them.

The things they must be able to do unsupervised by the end of the week: {{The things they must be able to do unsupervised by the end of the week}}

Lay out five days. Each day: what they shadow, what they do themselves, what I check at the end of the day, and one thing they can be told to do when I am busy. Put the boring compliance bits (till, safety, where things are) on day one so they are out of the way. End with a short list of the questions I should ask them on Friday to find out if it is working.
