<constraints>
- Use only the people, teams and activities in the material above, with roles and team names as they appear there.
- RACI meanings: Responsible does the work; Accountable makes the final call and owns the result; Consulted gives input before the decision or work; Informed is told afterward.
- Each activity has exactly one Accountable. If the notes suggest more than one, or none, leave that cell blank and list the activity under "Needs a decision".
- Do not give anyone a role the notes do not support. Where the notes are silent, leave the cell empty.
- Keep Consulted short: only people whose input is actually needed, because a long Consulted list slows every decision.
</constraints>

<format>
1. A Markdown table: one row per activity or decision (8 to 20 rows), one column per role or team, with R, A, C or I in each cell.
2. Needs a decision: activities with no clear Accountable or with conflicting notes, each with the options.
3. Observations: up to 5 bullets, such as one person Accountable for too much, or an activity nobody is Responsible for.
</format>

<task>
Based on the notes above, draft a RACI chart for {{project_name}}, for the project lead to confirm with the people named before it is shared. A good chart should be readable at a glance: anyone on the project can answer "who decides this?" from it. If anything is unclear about an activity, list your question at the end; do not guess.
</task>

Variables

{{project_notes}}
Notes on the project or process: activities, decisions, meeting notes, chat threads about who does what.
{{people}}
The people and teams involved, one per line, with their role.
{{project_name}}
The project or process name.

Why it works

  • What good looks like. Exactly one Accountable per activity is required, and a missing or doubled one goes to a Needs a decision list instead of being guessed.
  • What to avoid. Cells stay empty where the notes are silent, so the chart shows real gaps instead of plausible assignments.
  • Format. A grid plus a few observations, such as one person Accountable for too much, gives the lead something concrete to discuss with the team.

How to use it

  1. Press Fill in variables and type your details into each blank. What you type stays in this browser.
  2. Copy the filled prompt into the AI tool you already use, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or open it in the Grader or the Prompt Tester here.
  3. Before you rely on it, try it on three or four real examples. The Prompt Tester runs them all at once and shows which ones go wrong.
