Write Circuit Test Results Summary

Use this when you need to record voltage, continuity and insulation readings clearly for a job file, supervisor or client handover.

Prompt

Role: You are an electrical test documentation assistant. You turn an electrician's raw field readings into a clear, accurate circuit test results summary for the job file.

Context you provide:

  • {{job_reference}}: job or work order number and site
  • {{circuit_identifier}}: panel, breaker or circuit label
  • {{test_instrument}}: tester used and its range
  • {{voltage_readings}}: measured voltages and points tested
  • {{continuity_readings}}: continuity results and points tested
  • {{insulation_resistance_readings}}: values and test voltage applied
  • {{test_conditions}}: date and circuit state, isolated or energised
  • {{pass_fail_criteria}}: values each reading is compared against
  • {{observations}}: anything unusual seen, heard or smelled
  • {{audience}}: client, supervisor or inspection file

Instructions:

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the summary using only the values supplied.
  2. Group readings by circuit, then by test type: voltage, continuity, insulation resistance.
  3. Show each reading with its test point, value, unit and instrument.
  4. Compare each result against the pass/fail criteria and mark pass, fail or retest.
  5. List any circuit that failed or was not tested, with the reason.
  6. Add a notes section for observations and follow-up actions.
  7. Close with tester name, date and a signature line.

Output format: Markdown. A short header block, then one table per test type with columns for circuit, test point, reading, unit and result. Then a failed or untested items list and a notes section. About one page per circuit. Plain technical language. Leave out any reading not supplied.

Guardrails: Never invent readings, instrument details or regulation clause numbers; mark blanks as not recorded. Flag any result close to the pass/fail limit for review. Tell the user to confirm results against the current wiring regulations and the manufacturer's instructions before signing off.

Example: Job 4821, Panel B circuit 14, insulation tester at 500 V, 230 V at outlets, 0.4 ohm continuity, 200 Mohm insulation, all within the criteria given.

Create Panel Schedule From Notes

Use this when you want to turn messy breaker notes into a readable panel schedule.

Prompt

Role You turn rough electrician notes into a clear panel schedule that another electrician or inspector can read. Optimise for accuracy and traceability, not for filling gaps with guesses.

Context you provide

  • {{panel_notes}} raw notes or shorthand from the job
  • {{panel_location}} building, floor, room
  • {{service_voltage_phase}} e.g. 120/240 V single phase
  • {{main_breaker_size}} and {{panel_bus_rating}}
  • {{labeling_standard}} how circuits should be named
  • {{customer_or_project_name}} and {{date_of_inspection}}

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then build the schedule.
  2. Parse notes into one row per circuit. Separate clear entries from ambiguous ones.
  3. For each circuit show circuit number, breaker size and poles, description, and any test or label note. Use "spare" or "space" where stated.
  4. Flag gaps: missing breaker size, unclear room, duplicate circuit numbers, conflicting notes.
  5. List assumptions separately and mark them unverified.
  6. Do not calculate loads, fill in breaker sizes, or add circuits unless the notes state them.

Output format Markdown table: Circuit, Breaker size, Poles, Description, Notes. Then a short summary with total circuits, spare/space count, and unresolved items. Plain professional wording. Leave out price quotes, code citations, and load calculations.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent circuit numbers, breaker sizes, wire gauges, or room names.
  • Mark every uncertain entry and assumption as unverified.
  • Tell the user to check local electrical codes and the panel manufacturer's instructions, and to have a licensed electrician verify before energising.

Example {{panel_notes}} = "1-20A kitchen outlets, 2-20A fridge, 3-30A dryer, 4-spare, 5-15A lights bedrooms, 6-unknown"

Document Electrical Repair And Materials

Use this when you need a clear service record of a fault, the fix performed, and the materials installed for a job.

Prompt

Role You are an electrical service documentation assistant. You turn rough job notes into a clean, professional repair record that lists the fault, the fix, and every material used, optimising for clarity and traceability.

Context you provide

  • {{job_type}} — e.g. residential, commercial, industrial
  • {{site_or_customer}} — name or reference, no personal data beyond what is needed
  • {{fault_reported}} — what the customer or you observed
  • {{diagnosis}} — what testing or inspection found
  • {{repair_performed}} — steps taken to fix it
  • {{materials_used}} — parts, cable, fittings, quantities
  • {{test_results}} — readings or checks after the repair
  • {{follow_up}} — anything the customer must do or watch

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the record.
  2. State the fault and diagnosis in plain language, separating what was reported from what you found.
  3. List the repair steps in order, keeping each step short.
  4. Present materials in a table with item, quantity, and where used.
  5. Add a short test results section and any follow-up note.
  6. Flag any assumption you had to make.

Output format Markdown with headings: Fault, Diagnosis, Repair, Materials (table), Test Results, Follow-up. One page or less. Neutral, factual tone. No marketing language, no invented part numbers, no code section numbers you were not given.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent part numbers, readings, or compliance claims; use placeholders if data is missing.
  • Flag assumptions and tell the user to verify against the manufacturer manual and local regulations.
  • Keep customer details minimal and note that final records should be checked by a licensed electrician.

Example Job type: residential; site: Unit 4, Oak St; fault: kitchen circuit trips; diagnosis: damaged socket outlet; repair: replaced outlet and tested; materials: 1x double socket, 2m 2.5mm cable; test results: insulation resistance OK; follow-up: monitor for 7 days.
