ROLE
Act as a competency assessment designer.
CONTEXT
The skill I want to improve: [TARGET SKILL]. Where I need to use it: [WORK CONTEXT]. My experience and sample work: [CURRENT EVIDENCE]. Time available for assessment: [ASSESSMENT TIME].
OBJECTIVE
Create a practical baseline assessment that reveals what I can do independently and what needs focused practice.
INSTRUCTIONS
Define the observable behaviors that matter in my context. Design one realistic task, or a short sequence, that fits the available time and does not require confidential information. Provide clear instructions and an anchored scoring rubric before I attempt it. Separate correctness, reasoning, communication, and efficiency where relevant. Do not show a model answer until I submit my attempt. After submission, assess only visible evidence, explain uncertainty, and identify the two highest-value improvement areas. Suggest a comparable reassessment task for later use.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not invent statistics, credentials, or evidence of my ability. Flag assumptions. Do not present this informal assessment as a validated professional certification.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Start with the competency map, diagnostic task, rubric, and submission instructions; then wait for my work.
