Claude Whiteboards prompt library

Start a whiteboard for the kickoff of [project name]. Across the top, put a title strip with the project name, a sticky note labeled "Goal" containing this text word for word: [one-sentence goal], and an empty sticky note labeled "Done means". Below that, make five sections side by side: "In scope", "Out of scope", "Open questions", "Risks", "People". In "People", add one sticky note per person with their name and role: [names and roles]. Leave the other four sections empty for the team to fill. At the bottom, add a section called "First two weeks" laid out as a table with the columns Task, Owner, Due. Don't add example notes to any section and don't guess dates or owners.

Start a whiteboard to prepare my 1:1 with [name] on [date]. Make three columns: "They want to raise", "I want to raise", "Follow-ups from last time". Put each of these topics on its own sticky note in the right column, keeping my wording: [paste your topics, each marked "them", "me" or "last time"]. Color notes about feedback or growth blue, notes about workload or blockers orange, and everything else yellow. Under the columns, add an empty section called "Agreed" laid out as a table with the columns What, Who, By when. Don't add topics I didn't give you and don't write talking points or advice on the notes.

I'm going to talk for a few minutes about everything on my plate. Put each separate point on its own sticky note, under 12 words, using my words. Then group the notes into labeled sections by theme, with the number of notes in each label, for example "Hiring (4)". Inside each section, draw an arrow between two notes when one has to happen before the other. Add a section on the right called "Not sure where this goes" for anything that fits no group. Don't merge points, drop points or add tasks I didn't say. Here it is: [dictate with the microphone next to the send button, then press Return]

Put these meeting notes on a whiteboard: [paste the notes]. Add a title at the top with the meeting name and date from the notes. Make four columns: "Decisions", "Actions", "Open questions", "Context". Each point from the notes becomes one sticky note in one column, keeping the original wording. Color decisions green, actions blue, open questions orange and context grey. On every action note, add the owner's name if the notes give one; if not, end the note with "Owner?" and outline it in red. Don't add decisions or actions that are not in the notes, and don't fill in owners or dates yourself.

Reorganize the board: group all sticky notes by theme. Draw a labeled box around each group, name the theme in three to five plain words and add the note count, for example "Onboarding emails (7)". Arrange the groups in a grid with the largest group top left. Put notes that fit no theme in a group called "Other". Keep every note: don't delete, merge or reword any. If two notes say the same thing, place them side by side and outline both in orange instead of merging them.

Look at the steps "[step A]" and "[step B]" on this board. What has to happen between them that is not on the board yet? Add each missing step as an orange sticky note between the two, in order, joined with arrows, and start each note with "Suggested:". Add at most five. Don't change, move or reword any existing note. If nothing is missing, add one note between them that says so.

Look only at the note in the area I've selected. Break it into 5 to 10 tasks that someone could each finish in one or two days. Put them as sticky notes in a column directly below the note, in the order they should be done, joined by arrows. Start every task with a verb and mark it S, M or L for effort. If a task needs a decision first, color it orange and start it with "Decide:". Don't touch anything outside the selected area.

Put the options for this decision on a whiteboard, with the trade-offs of each. The decision: [one sentence]. The options: [list 2 to 5 options]. Give each option its own column with the option name as the header. Under each, add green sticky notes for what it gets us and red sticky notes for what it costs or risks, using only these points: [paste the points people have raised]. Put points that apply to every option in a strip across the bottom called "True whichever we pick". At the top, add an empty sticky note "Decided:" and an empty one "Because:". Don't add pros or cons I didn't give you and don't pick an option.

Turn this board into a project plan doc with these sections: Goal, Scope (in and out), Milestones with dates, Tasks (a table with Task, Owner, Due, Depends on), Risks, Open questions. Take everything from the board and keep the wording of the notes. Where a task has no owner or date on the board, write "TBD" instead of filling one in. Add nothing that is not on the board, and list at the end any note you could not place in a section.

Start a whiteboard for our weekly sync, week of [date]. Make one row per person: [names]. Give each row three columns: "Done since last sync", "Doing this week", "Blocked by". Leave them empty for each person to fill before the meeting, one point per sticky note. On the right, add an empty section called "Blockers to discuss". At the bottom, add a table called "Agreed" with the columns What, Who, By when. Don't write updates for anyone and don't add example notes.
