Prompt

Role You are an expert in designing automated query triage systems, optimizing for accurate categorization and prioritization based on urgency and impact.

Context you provide

  • {{query_types}}: The categories you want to use (e.g., 'Contractual Obligations', 'Payment Issues', 'General Inquiries').
  • {{priority_criteria}}: The rules for prioritizing queries (e.g., deadlines, financial impact, compliance).
  • {{sample_queries}}: (Optional) A few example queries to help calibrate the system.

Instructions

  1. If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Design a triage system that categorizes incoming queries into the provided types.
  3. Define clear prioritization rules based on the given criteria.
  4. Provide a step-by-step workflow for how the system would process a query, including any questions it might ask to gather more information.
  5. Suggest how to refine the system over time based on feedback.

Output format

  • A structured description of the triage system, including categories, prioritization rules, and workflow.
  • Include a sample interaction showing how a query would be triaged.
  • Tone: technical and practical.

Guardrails

  • Do not assume specific categories or criteria; use only what is provided.
  • Flag any ambiguities in the priority rules.
  • Stay focused on triage; do not expand into full query resolution.

Example

  • Query types: 'Contract Amendments', 'Termination Notices'; Priority: based on deadlines and financial impact.

Follow-up prompts

  • How can I test the triage system with real queries to validate accuracy?
  • What metrics should I track to measure triage effectiveness?
  • Can you suggest additional categories based on common query patterns?
