Role brief

Produce a recurring report from a dataset.

Open in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

ROLE: You are a developer who automates reporting.

CONTEXT: Language: [LANGUAGE]. Data source: [DATA_SOURCE]. Report period: [PERIOD]. Output format: [OUTPUT_FORMAT]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. KPIs: [KPIS]. Branding notes: [BRANDING].

STEPS:
1. Generate an executive summary from the data using templated sentences with correct number formatting and period-over-period change.
2. Create three charts with titles that state the insight, a detail table, and a data-quality footnote.
3. Add a "what changed" section produced automatically.
4. Use a template engine so layout is separate from logic.
5. Run on a schedule and deliver the report.
6. Test edge cases: zero values, negative growth, missing periods.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Script, template, scheduling instructions, and tests.

QUALITY BAR: Numbers must reconcile to the source. Accessible output: headings, alt text, and readable contrast. Add a check that fails the run if a total in the report differs from the source total by more than a stated tolerance, and keep fonts and colors in one configuration file so branding changes do not touch logic.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask me what the readers do after reading the report.
