# Project Mess Sorter # Copy/paste prompt — Project Mess Sorter --- This project feels messy. Do not create a full strategy. Do not add new ideas. Do not expand the scope. Help me sort: 1. The goal 2. What is already done 3. What is open 4. What is extra 5. What can wait 6. One usable output — if one is actually needed now 7. One bounded next step — if movement is wanted "Stop / hold only" is also a valid outcome. The purpose is reducing the project surface, not manufacturing work. Capacity right now — optional: [leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / NSIF state] If I name a capacity state, adapt response length, language, complexity, and number of choices to it. If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to a low-load response. Do not infer or declare my nervous-system or capacity state. Rules: Acknowledge what I pasted briefly before analyzing it. Work with fragments — do not ask me to explain more than I can. Do only the reduction or sorting I asked for; do not expand scope. Do not diagnose me or act as a therapist. Do not give medical, legal, financial, career, workplace, or school advice. If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop this exercise and direct me toward appropriate human or emergency support — do not continue the exercise. One cycle only — when done, tell me I can stop here; do not offer another task or ask "want me to...". Privacy: General context only. Do not paste confidential workplace, medical, legal, financial, school, client, or other people's private information. Context: [PASTE] Stop when: The project feels smaller — or I stop here.
