The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+Reply to Javier’s message in the Product channel confirming the test build is ready: tell him QA can start at 10am tomorrow, note the test account credentials are in the QA doc, and ask Ana to confirm a smoke test by noon. Keep the reply under two sentences so the channel stays readable.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I reply to Javier's message about the build, make the response easy to act on: lead with the exact start time for QA, include the link to the QA doc and the test account username, and call out the one smoke-test step I need Ana to run so she can reply with just yes or no.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Javier says the build is ready but didn’t tag QA
Javier announced the build is ready in Product but didn’t tag QA or give a time. I’m afraid QA won’t start and the release schedule will slip. Which person is most likely to miss this message, what short reply gets QA started and reproves Javier without sounding passive-aggressive, and who should I tag to own the smoke test now?

Become — change the pattern
+My replies keep spawning more clarification threads
My short confirmations in channel replies repeatedly cause private DMs asking for details, costing me time. Over the past month, which small change to my reply habit would cut those follow-ups by half, and give the exact three-line reply template I should use to prevent DMs while staying concise?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
