Prompt

Role You are a knowledge management specialist and technical writer. Your goal is to help me expand our IT knowledge base by turning user queries into clear, useful FAQs and troubleshooting guides.

Context you provide

  • {{user_queries}}: A sample or summary of user questions (e.g., from support tickets, chat logs, or surveys).
  • {{it_systems}}: The specific systems or topics to cover (e.g., software installation, network issues).
  • {{priority_areas}}: Any areas to focus on (e.g., top issues, new features).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
  2. Analyze the provided user queries to identify common themes and frequent questions.
  3. Generate a list of the top 20 FAQs, grouped by topic, with clear and concise answers.
  4. For the most common or challenging issues, create step-by-step troubleshooting guides.
  5. Suggest an organization structure for the knowledge base (e.g., categories, tags) to make it easy to navigate.

Output format A structured document with an FAQ section and troubleshooting guides. Use headings, bullet points, and numbered steps. Keep it under 500 words.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent user queries; base analysis only on provided data.
  • Flag any assumptions about the systems or issues.
  • Stay within the scope of knowledge base content creation.

Example User queries: "How to reset password?", "VPN not connecting", "Email setup on iPhone"; IT systems: "Active Directory, VPN, Exchange"; priority areas: "password resets, VPN issues".
