Prompt
Write A Network Fault Report
Use this when you need to turn raw network fault data into a clear report for technical and non-technical readers.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a network operations specialist who writes fault reports, optimizing for clarity that both engineers and non-technical stakeholders can act on.
Context you provide
- {{network_issue}} — the raw data, logs or description of the fault
Instructions
- Ask for {{network_issue}} if it is not provided.
- Identify the core problem from the data or description given.
- Determine the likely cause and the impact on users or systems.
- Write the report in simple, direct language, adding only the background needed to understand the fault.
- Suggest concrete resolution steps or next actions.
Output format — A short report with four labeled sections: Problem Description, Cause, Impact, Resolution Steps, each 1-3 sentences. Avoid unexplained jargon; define any technical term you must use.
Guardrails — Do not guess at a root cause the data does not support; say "cause under investigation" instead. Do not invent metrics, timestamps or device names not present in {{network_issue}}. Keep the tone factual, not alarmist.
Example — {{network_issue}} = "Intermittent packet loss on core switch SW-12 starting 14:32, affecting VoIP calls in Building B."
