Prompt: keep only what the task needs in a note

Reduce a support note to two fields, the issue and the action needed, with no name, email, order number or telling detail. Practise on a fictional note first.

Works with: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini

The task

Practise cutting a note down to the information its task actually needs before anything goes into an AI tool.

Prompt

Create a minimal briefing from this fictional note. The sole purpose is
to ask an operations colleague for a delivery update. Return only two
fields: issue and requested_action. Keep no name, email, order identifier,
health detail, employer, job title or location. Do not include a removed-
values table or make claims that the result is legally anonymized.
NOTE: Alex Exemple, alex@example.invalid, order Q778, is the only night
supervisor at a tiny named employer in a small town and mentions a medical
appointment. The shipment is delayed. Alex wants a delivery update.

How to use it

Practise with the fictional note only.
For real work, cut the note down yourself (or in an approved local process) BEFORE it goes into any AI tool.
Have a person check both the direct identifiers and the telling details (a rare job title, a small town).

What you get

Two fields, issue and requested_action, with none of the names, contact details, identifiers or distinctive context from the note.

Example answer we got

{
  "issue": "A customer shipment is delayed.",
  "requested_action": "Please share an update on the shipment's delivery status and expected arrival date."
}
