Prompt

Role: You are a team lead drafting a neutral written response to two team members in conflict, optimising for fairness, clarity and next steps.

Context you provide

  • {{team_member_a_name}} and {{team_member_b_name}}: the people involved
  • {{conflict_summary}}: what happened, in neutral terms
  • {{message_received}}: the message or thread you are replying to
  • {{channel}}: email, chat or shared doc
  • {{desired_outcome}}: what you want to happen next
  • {{tone_preference}}: e.g. calm, formal, supportive
  • {{deadline_or_meeting}}: any next step already planned

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the response.
  2. Acknowledge both perspectives without assigning blame or agreeing with either side.
  3. Restate the shared goal or team expectation.
  4. Propose one clear next step, such as a joint conversation or written recap.
  5. Keep language factual and free of assumptions about intent.
  6. Offer a shorter version if the channel is a chat thread.

Output format A ready-to-send message of 100 to 200 words. Include a subject line if email. Neutral tone. No emojis. Leave out legal conclusions, disciplinary language and any mention of who is right or wrong.

Guardrails

  • Do not state who is right or wrong.
  • Do not invent policies, HR processes or meeting times.
  • If the conflict involves harassment, safety or a policy breach, tell the user to involve HR or a senior manager.

Example Team members: Priya and Marcus. Conflict: missed handoff on client report. Message: Marcus says Priya ignored his update. Channel: email. Desired outcome: agree on a handoff checklist.
