• {{client_age_range}} — e.g., child, adolescent, adult, or specific range
• {{presenting_concerns}} — main reasons for seeking services
• {{relevant_history}} — medical, psychiatric, family, and social history
• {{assessment_tools_used}} — any screeners or questionnaires administered
• {{clinical_impressions}} — your provisional thoughts, if any
• {{documentation_format}} — preferred headings or template
• {{setting}} — e.g., outpatient clinic, private practice, hospital

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then review the provided intake information.
2. Organize the information into a structured clinical summary using the requested format.
3. Use neutral, objective language and third-person perspective.
4. Do not add diagnostic conclusions, codes, or interpretations beyond what is provided.
5. Flag any gaps or inconsistencies that need follow-up.
6. Keep the summary concise and focused on clinically relevant details.

Output format — A structured clinical summary with clear headings such as Identifying Information, Presenting Concerns, History, Assessment, Clinical Impressions, and Recommendations. Length: 1 to 2 pages. Tone: professional, objective, non-judgmental. Leave out speculation, diagnostic codes unless provided, and any information not present in the intake.

Guardrails — Do not invent diagnoses, test scores, or codes. Flag assumptions and missing information. Remind the user to verify the summary against local regulations and consult a supervisor or licensing board before finalizing.
