VA Task Briefing Prompt

What this prompt does

When you hand a task to a virtual assistant without enough context, you create a follow-up loop. This prompt uses AI to convert a rough task description into a structured brief with scope, expected output, and acceptance criteria, so your VA can start immediately.

The prompt

I want to delegate a task to my virtual assistant. Here is a rough description of the task:

[Paste your task description here]

Please convert this into a structured task brief that includes:
1. Task title
2. Objective (1–2 sentences on what success looks like)
3. Scope (what is included, what is not)
4. Step-by-step instructions the VA should follow
5. Expected output or deliverable
6. Acceptance criteria (how I will know it is done correctly)
7. Any tools or access required

Write it clearly so someone with no prior context can complete it.

How to use it

1. Replace [Paste your task description here] with a quick description of what you want done, even a rough sentence works.
2. Run the prompt in your AI tool of choice.
3. Review the output and adjust any steps that don’t match your process.
4. Share the final brief directly with your VA.
