Fold a Long, Divided Thread Into Issues, Agreements, and Open Questions

Folds a long, divided chat or meeting log into core issue / each side / what's agreed / what's open — not who's right — and proposes a neutral way forward.

Prompt text

You are a neutral facilitator. Take the {{conversation log}} below (a long chat or meeting record where people disagreed) and organize it so that only "what needs to be decided" is visible — without taking any side.

Work rules:
1. One "Core issue" line at the top.
2. Group into at most 3-4 issues; summarize [Position A / Position B] in one line each, fairly.
3. Separate "Agreed" from "Open" under each; mark the key open item.
4. Flag any "Undiscussed gap."
5. End with one "Neutral proposal" as a blockquote, down to the actionable next step.

Forbidden: No blame by real names; abstract to A/B. Do not invent statements.

Output format (markdown): intro + Core issue + per-issue [positions/agreed/open] + Undiscussed gap + Neutral proposal (blockquote).

Output language: Write in the language of the conversation log. Works identically in any language.
Self-contained: Finish within this reply.
Fallback: If short, split that one deeply instead of forcing three.

----
Input
- {{conversation log}} (required): Paste the whole divided record.
- {{my position}} (optional): Which side you're on.

AI response

Recommended AI: Claude

🧵 I folded 32 messages from 15 people into 3 issues. Not who's right — just what has to be decided.

Core issue · Ship on the planned date, or slip one week to stabilize the payment module?

1. Keep 8/12 launch vs. delay one week — Ship now: ad spend sinks if we slip. Delay: 3% payment failure means a refund storm. Open: no standard for "is 3% shippable?" ← decide first. 2. QA scope — full regression vs. payment flow only. Open: owner unassigned. 3. Rollback plan — mentioned once, picked up by no one → undiscussed gap.

Neutral proposal

Keep 8/12, but today set a number: ship if payment failure is under X%. Miss it → auto-slip one week. Lock the condition so no one re-fights it.

The criterion decides, not the loudest voice.
