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

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need to send the design decision to the remote PM and the client. Share a direct link to my key message in the #designs channel so Anika and the client reviewer can jump straight to the comment thread. Add a short note that the link points to the message with the final diagram and list the approval step I need from each person.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I share a message link with procurement and the client, make it easy to approve: link directly to the exact message, add a one-sentence summary of why it matters, call out the single thing they need to confirm, and tell them how to signal approval (reply, emoji, or e-sign). Flag any language that would make a reviewer hesitate to click or approve.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I shared a message link and the client replied on the wrong thread
I posted the design decision link in the channel and the client answered privately on a different thread, so their approval isn’t recorded where the team will see it. I’m afraid the sign-off won’t be captured and that rework will happen. Should I ask them to repost, copy their response into the original thread, or forward it myself? Recommend the best immediate fix and the exact copy to send to the client.

Become — change the pattern
+Approvals scatter across channels and private replies
We keep losing track of approvals because people reply in private DMs or separate threads. I think our expectations for where approvals live are unclear. What rule should I enforce so approvals are always findable, and how do I communicate that rule to clients and the team so it sticks?

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.
