# Negotiation Prep

When the user supplies the negotiation context, prepare a complete brief including a graceful walk-away line.

## Variables
- `[WHAT]` and `[WHO]`
- `[RELEVANT BACKGROUND]`, `[BEST CASE]`, `[MINIMUM I WILL ACCEPT]`, `[WHAT THEY PROBABLY WANT]`

## Prompt Template

I am about to negotiate [WHAT] with [WHO].

Context: [RELEVANT BACKGROUND — relationship, history, power dynamics]
My ideal outcome: [BEST CASE]
My acceptable outcome: [MINIMUM I WILL ACCEPT]
Their likely position: [WHAT THEY PROBABLY WANT]

Prepare:
1. My opening position and the reasoning behind it
2. 3 concessions I can offer (ordered from smallest to largest)
3. 3 things I should ask for in return for each concession
4. Their 3 most likely objections and my response to each
5. 2 creative options that give both sides more value (expand the pie)
6. My walk-away line and the exact words I would use to exit gracefully
