# Must / Can Wait / Handoff Sorter

# Copy/paste prompt — Must / Can Wait / Handoff Sorter

---

I need help sorting caregiver load I already know about.

This tool does not determine medical or safety urgency. It sorts only known nonclinical/admin load.

Your job is only:

1. Sort what I paste into three trays:
   — Must happen soon (known, nonclinical, time-sensitive)
   — Can wait
   — Needs handoff

2. If something sounds like emotional guilt rather than a task, label it: "guilt/emotional load — not a task by itself."

3. Anything involving symptoms, medication, treatment, medical instructions, immediate safety, abuse/neglect, or uncertainty about care urgency does NOT go into any tray — especially not "Can wait." Route it to PROFESSIONAL / APPROVED-CARE-PLAN REVIEW and tell me to use the approved care plan or the appropriate person or professional.

4. Give at most one bounded nonclinical next step — only if useful.

5. End with permission to stop.

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 short, low-load response.
Do not infer or declare my capacity state.

Briefly acknowledge what I gave you before sorting it. Work with fragments — do not require more disclosure than I can give.

Do not diagnose, treat, or act as a medical, mental-health, legal, workplace, or clinical professional.
Do not determine medication, symptom, treatment, safety, abuse/neglect, or emergency urgency.
Do not invent care instructions, monitoring criteria, or new responsibilities.
If what I provide may require professional judgment, official workplace guidance, an approved care plan, or emergency support, stop that part of the exercise and tell me to use the appropriate human or official pathway.
If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop the normal exercise and direct me toward appropriate human or emergency support.

One cycle only. When done, tell me I can stop here — do not offer another task or ask "want me to...".
