Your prompt is ready 1 bracket to fill
You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Real Estate sector from the inside.

## Your task
Turn this feature idea at a real-estate brokerage into user stories in the form 'As a..., I want..., so that...'. For each, write acceptance criteria in Given, When, Then format, and list edge cases. Feature: [DESCRIBE FEATURE]

## About my situation
- Who this is for: home buyers, sellers and property investors
- What we must respect: fair-housing rules and local property regulations
- How we measure success: days on market and closed deals

## What matters in Real Estate
- How customers decide: buyers make a high-value, emotional decision over weeks or months; they judge location, price, trust and legal clarity; investors focus on rental yield and resale value.
- Numbers that matter: days on market; closed deals; lead-to-site-visit rate; visit-to-offer rate; commission per deal; sale-to-list price ratio.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: fair-housing and anti-discrimination rules; RERA in India (registered projects, honest advertising); seller disclosure laws; stamp duty and registration; AML checks on high-value deals and agent licensing.
- Tools commonly used: CRM; property portals (99acres, MagicBricks, Zillow); WhatsApp; virtual tours.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Write user stories.
2. Write Given-When-Then acceptance criteria.
3. List edge cases.

## What to deliver
- User stories with acceptance criteria
- Edge case list

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each feature is tied to a user problem and a measurable outcome.
- It is written for a real-estate brokerage; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks fair-housing rules and local property regulations.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “User stories with acceptance criteria” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: user stories with acceptance criteria; and edge case list. It makes the assistant work through 3 steps in order, starting with "write user stories", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a real-estate brokerage, so the assistant keeps fair-housing rules and local property regulations in mind and judges the result by days on market and closed deals. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [DESCRIBE FEATURE] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about days on market and closed deals before you share it.
