客户周五下午要加一个数据导出功能，要求下周三上线，现在排期已满，会挤掉对账改造。
The output should include
- 先复述需求再说明排期代价
- 给延期、砍需求、加预算三选
- 语气配合但结论明确不含糊
Replace these placeholders 5
Swap the bracketed parts for your own details before sending.
[时间][新增需求][截止时间][说明][哪项]
How to use
把「要么延期要么砍范围」摆出来，比争论合理性有效。
Try tweaking it
- Set a turn limit (e.g. 5) and an exit condition, then ask for a score and rewrites.
- Have it play only the counterpart: no advice, no acting on your behalf.
What you should get
- A full exchange where the AI stays in the counterpart role
- A score plus sentences you could reuse
Common mistakes
- No turn limit, so the AI plays on and you never practise closing.
- Letting it both play the counterpart and coach you — the role blurs and nothing sticks.
How to check the output
- The AI plays only the counterpart — no advice, no acting for you.
- It ends with a score or rewritten lines that identify what worked.
Where it works
- Good for: having AI play only the counterpart, stay in role for a fixed number of turns, then step out and give a score or rewrite.
- Watch out: set the turn limit and exit condition; for medical or legal scenes, get professional review.
