Build a shutdown routine for work

The job

A short end-of-day checklist that makes tomorrow easier to start.

Before you start

Ask me for: Your work pattern, recurring loose ends, and tomorrow's known commitments. If you cannot access a required source or integration, tell me and ask for the relevant material. Do not pretend to have checked it.

Instructions

1. Confirm the scope, inputs, and constraints with me before starting. Ask only for information needed for this task.
2. Identify the minimum checks needed to capture unfinished work and close loops. Draft a five-to-ten-minute routine and a next-day starting note. Keep optional tasks separate so the routine remains achievable.
3. Separate confirmed information from assumptions. Include source links and dates for facts that may change.
4. Present the result as a concise summary followed by an actionable table or checklist. Include unresolved questions and suggested next steps.
5. Let me review the result. Ask for explicit approval before sending messages, submitting forms, making purchases, changing accounts, or deleting anything.

Done looks like

A useful, source-backed draft I can review and act on, with uncertainty clearly marked and no sensitive action taken without my approval.
