Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Let's work this out together. I'll tell you what I'm after; help me sharpen the goal before you dive in, and check in with me before anything you can't undo.

Goal: Help me understand what family life is like in the area I'm moving to.

Questions to explore first: Which town, how old are the kids, and what matters most (schools, parks, commute, safety)?

What I need from you:
- The town or neighborhood
- Family details that matter (kids' ages, commute)
- Your top priorities

Rules:
- Suggest 2–3 angles for the report and recommend one.
- Cover schools, childcare, parks and activities, healthcare, transport and safety, each with sources.
- Question weak sources and note where they disagree.
- Export the report to a Google Doc.

Output: A sourced report with a summary of pros and cons for your family, plus next steps.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: you can answer 'is this a good place for us?' with sources.
