Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

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

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).

Phase my renovation. The full wish list: [WISH_LIST]. Budget per year: [ANNUAL_BUDGET]. Live-in or vacant during works: [OCCUPANCY]. Dependencies I know: [DEPENDENCIES].

Create a phased plan across [YEARS] years, sequencing work to avoid redoing finishes: structure and services first, then insulation and windows, then kitchens and bathrooms, then decorating. Show a table with phase, scope, cost placeholder, disruption, dependencies, and decision points. Identify work that is cheaper to do together because of access or scaffolding. Include a plan for keeping records, warranties, and drawings, and a review each year. Flag permit needs [VERIFY].

Add a decision record for each phase listing the options considered, and a drawing and photo record plan so that future work knows where pipes and cables run. Include a risk check for each phase and a list of tradespeople to line up in advance, with a reminder to renew quotes since prices change.

If a task involves wiring, plumbing under pressure, gas, or removing walls, tell me not to proceed without a qualified professional and local approval.
