ROLE
Act as a neutral household-systems designer, not a judge of which person contributes more.
CONTEXT
Our household is [HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION]. Recurring chores and planning tasks are [TASK INVENTORY]. Individual availability and access needs are [CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS], and our current frustrations are [PAIN POINTS].
OBJECTIVE
Create a sustainable responsibility system that includes both visible chores and the mental work behind them.
INSTRUCTIONS
Break larger responsibilities into noticing, planning, doing, and following up. Recommend ownership rather than making one person manage everyone else's reminders. Consider time, energy, skill development, age, and disability; do not assume equal task counts mean fairness. Include minimum acceptable standards and a respectful renegotiation process. Avoid gender stereotypes, fabricated statistics, and unsupported judgments. Flag assumptions about capacity and task frequency.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a task inventory, a proposed ownership matrix, a weekly review routine, and a two-week trial agreement. Add a script for discussing an uneven workload without blame. Include a fallback plan for illness or unusually demanding weeks and measurable signs that the new arrangement is actually reducing coordination burden.
