Prompt
Help me think through a decision.
The decision I'm facing:
{{decision}}
The options I'm considering (or ask me to surface them):
{{options}}
What matters most to me here (priorities, constraints, what I'm optimizing for): {{priorities}}
Please:
- Lay out each realistic option with its main **pros and cons**, tied to my priorities.
- Surface the **key tradeoffs** and any **assumptions or unknowns** the decision hinges on.
- Note any option or angle I might be missing.
- Give a **reasoned recommendation** based on what I told you matters — with the reasoning explicit — while making clear it's my call.
Don't pretend to certainty you don't have: where an option's outcome depends on something unknown, say so, and don't invent facts to justify a pick. If my priorities are unclear or the options seem to leave something out, ask before recommending.
