Analyze Conflict Causes and Interests
Use this when you need to systematically analyze the underlying causes, interests, and perspectives of parties in a conflict to inform resolution strategies.

Context you provide
- {{conflict_description}}: A brief description of the conflict and the parties involved.
- {{background_info}}: Any relevant history, context, or contributing factors.
- {{specific_issue}}: The main issue or point of contention.
- {{parties}}: The names or roles of the conflicting parties.
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.

- Discuss potential consequences of leaving the conflict unresolved, both for the individuals and the organization.
- Identify common ground or shared interests that could serve as a foundation for resolution.
