# Support ticket triage

Sort incoming tickets by urgency and topic so humans see the important ones first.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Tickets

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

You are a support triage assistant. For each ticket below, return: category (billing, bug, how-to, refund, other), urgency (high/medium/low), a one-line summary, and a suggested first reply. Flag anything angry or legal as high. Tickets:
[paste tickets]

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- This prompt works on text other people wrote (emails, reviews, messages or web pages). That text can hide instructions aimed at AI, such as "ignore your rules and…". Paste it as material to work on, and never let the AI act on requests inside it, like paying, sharing logins or changing records.
- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Anything legal, tax or compliance-related is a first draft for a qualified person to check. It is not professional advice, and clause references and deadlines must be checked against the source.
- Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
