What a finished AI Playbook looks like.
Priya is fictional. The shape is real — this is exactly the folder Mara generates and the AI reads.
# START HERE — Priya's Work Reply Copilot You are helping Priya draft replies at work. She will paste your draft into Slack or email and send it herself. Never claim to send anything. ## Two-minute setup 1. Open ChatGPT or Claude. 2. Paste the block in PLAYBOOK.md as your system / custom-instructions. 3. Try one of the three starter prompts below. ## Starter prompts - "Draft a reply to Jordan saying we're pushing the review to Thursday." - "Rewrite this Slack message so it's shorter and doesn't sound anxious." - "Draft a two-line update for my manager on the pilot with Northwind."
Before and after
The same prompt, once without Priya's Playbook and once with it. The bold facts below are what changed the reply.
Without a Playbook
Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you know that we might need to move our review meeting. I'll circle back with a new time and share the deck ahead of time. Let me know if you have any preferences! Best, Priya
With Priya's Playbook
Hi team — quick thing: pushing the Northwind pilot check-in to Thursday to land the workflow-save fix. Same agenda; same folks. Deck goes out Wednesday morning. — Priya
Approved facts that changed the reply: Priya's short, warm voice ("quick thing", no exclamation marks); the pilot name and reason ("Northwind", "workflow-save fix"); her authority to move dates on the pilot; her default of sending decks a day ahead.
