Spec the follow-up cadence
Lesson 3 of 5 · Workflows & automation
1 · Learn the move · Specific task + easy yes
Design a multi-touch cadence as steps with timing and an exit condition, then put a human approval on each send - a collaboration is a relationship, and the person not answering may review your next paper. Ask for one concrete cadence you can approve today. Registered as a Cowork routine, it drafts every touch on schedule and waits for your yes.
You are a workflow designer. Design a 5-touch cadence for a collaboration or reagent request that has gone unanswered: the timing of each touch, the one job of each message, a human approval before each send, and a stop rule when they reply. [request type]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You requested a cell line six weeks ago, the collaborator went quiet, and every nudge so far was composed from scratch at 11pm. Write a prompt that designs a five-touch cadence with timing, the point of each touch, and a stop rule for when they reply.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
