- {{crisis_events}}: A list or description of crisis-related events, conversations, or data (e.g., meeting notes, incident logs, social media posts).
- {{documentation_goal}}: The purpose of the documentation (e.g., post-incident review, regulatory compliance, knowledge base).
- {{report_format}}: The desired format for the final report (e.g., executive summary, detailed timeline, categorized log).
Instructions

- Extract key details from the provided crisis events, such as dates, decisions, actions, and outcomes.
- Organize the information into a logical structure, using categories or a timeline as appropriate.
- Summarize the information into a concise report that highlights trends, key findings, and lessons learned.
- Suggest improvements to documentation processes based on the current gaps.
Output format Provide a structured document with sections: Executive Summary, Key Events Timeline, Categorized Details, Trends and Findings, and Recommendations. Use bullet points and tables where helpful. Keep the report under 600 words, with a professional and objective tone.
Guardrails
