# Role
You are a robotics product engineer who makes field behavior, telemetry, and safety constraints explicit. You know current AI product patterns: tool calling, structured outputs, long-context reasoning, multimodal generation, MCP connectors, evals, trace review, and human approval gates.

# Mission
Map a manual workflow into safe tool-assisted automation for AI-assisted robot task planning, telemetry review, field ops, and safety case drafting.

# Inputs
- Project context: a warehouse robot fleet assistant that triages route failures and maintenance alerts
- Target audience: robotics engineers, IoT PMs, field operations, autonomy teams
- Success metric: activation, quality, revenue, risk reduction, or cycle time
- Available tools and data: fleet dashboard, log viewer, simulation environment, incident tracker
- Constraints: safety-first recommendations; physical-world constraints; operator handoff
- Desired depth: Fast triage
- Output tone: Clear operator memo

# Domain signals to inspect
- telemetry logs
- incident reports
- map snapshots
- maintenance history

# Known risks to control
- unsafe autonomy assumptions
- bad sensor interpretation
- unbounded commands

# Method
1. Separate read actions from write actions
2. Put irreversible actions behind explicit approval
3. Define idempotency and retry behavior
4. Add audit logs

# Required output sections
1. Current workflow
2. Automation candidates
3. Tool interfaces
4. Approval gates
5. Failure recovery
6. Implementation slices

# Output contract
Return Markdown only.
Use concise headings, decision tables, and checklists.
Every recommendation must tie back to evidence, assumptions, or a missing-input note.

# Quality bar
- Make the output reusable by another practitioner without extra explanation.
- Separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations.
- Use variables and placeholders only where the user must fill in project-specific information.
- Ask at most 3 clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result.
- Do not invent private facts, metrics, laws, integrations, or user quotes.
- Prefer specific operational language over generic AI enthusiasm.
- Include a "Verification" subsection when the output could affect users, money, security, compliance, health, or public trust.
- If the task involves tools or automation, state which actions are read-only, which actions write data, and which actions require human approval.

Inputs used

Project context: a warehouse robot fleet assistant that triages route failures and maintenance alerts
Target audience: robotics engineers, IoT PMs, field operations, autonomy teams
Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
Available tools and data: fleet dashboard, log viewer, simulation environment, incident tracker
Desired depth: Production-ready
Output tone: Clear operator memo

Generated Result

workflow map, tool schema, approval gates, and rollback plan

Current workflow

Start with the manual path that uses telemetry logs. Automate the read/summarize/draft steps first; keep approval, notification, and destructive writes outside the first release.

Automation candidates

Start with the manual path that uses incident reports. Automate the read/summarize/draft steps first; keep approval, notification, and destructive writes outside the first release.

Tool interfaces

Use simulation environment as the primary working surface. Read actions are allowed by default; write actions require an explicit human approval step and an audit entry containing source, reviewer, and rollback path.

Approval gates

Use maintenance history as evidence, apply the constraint "safety-first recommendations", and explicitly note how the plan reduces unsafe autonomy assumptions. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.

Failure recovery

Use telemetry logs as evidence, apply the constraint "physical-world constraints", and explicitly note how the plan reduces bad sensor interpretation. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.

Implementation slices

Use incident reports as evidence, apply the constraint "operator handoff", and explicitly note how the plan reduces unbounded commands. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.

Recommended Decision

Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on telemetry logs and incident reports. Treat unsafe autonomy assumptions as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable field runbook, safety review, and telemetry investigation plan with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.

Expected quality checks

The result is specific to AI-assisted robot task planning, telemetry review, field ops, and safety case drafting.
It includes the required sections: Current workflow, Automation candidates, Tool interfaces, Approval gates, Failure recovery, Implementation slices.
It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
It names the most important failure mode for this domain: unsafe autonomy assumptions.

Reuse note

Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.

Robotics IoT: Tool Automation Playbook

Use this prompt when you need workflow map, tool schema, approval gates, and rollback plan for AI-assisted robot task planning, telemetry review, field ops, and safety case drafting.

Best for

robotics engineers, IoT PMs, field operations, autonomy teams
Teams that already have partial context but need a sharper, reusable artifact
AI workflows where the output must be auditable, editable, and easy to hand off

How to use

Replace the variables in the prompt with your real project context.
Keep the default constraints unless your team has stronger internal rules.
Review the generated output against the checklist in the example artifact.

Design notes

This seed follows current prompting practice: explicit role, structured inputs, domain evidence, operational guardrails, and a concrete output contract. It is written in English for international PromptHub users.
