A ready-to-use facilitator chatbot that helps your team diagnose delivery problems and navigate the CD migration journey - works with any LLM.

  2 minute read  

This is a pre-built facilitator chatbot for teams starting or stuck in their CD migration. Paste the system prompt into any LLM (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar) and it becomes a conversation partner that asks your team the right questions, identifies what is holding you back, and points you to the right resources on this site.

The file is a plain text Markdown file. It contains three things: setup instructions, the system prompt to paste, and a suggested opening message.

How to apply it

Claude (claude.ai)

  1. Open a new conversation. If you use Claude Projects, paste the system prompt into the Project Instructions field - this keeps it active across the whole project.
  2. Otherwise, paste the system prompt as your first message, prefixed with: Please follow these instructions for our entire conversation:
  3. Send the suggested opening message to begin.

ChatGPT (chat.openai.com)

  1. If you have access to Custom GPTs, create one and paste the system prompt into the Instructions field.
  2. For a quick session without a custom GPT: paste the system prompt as your first message, prefixed with Act as the following for this entire conversation:, then send the suggested opening message next.

Gemini (gemini.google.com)

  1. Paste the system prompt as your first message, prefixed with Follow these instructions for our entire conversation:
  2. Send the suggested opening message next.

Tips for a useful session

  • Run it as a group. Two or three people from the team together gives much better results than one person answering solo. Share your screen or use a shared workspace.
  • Be specific. “Releases are painful” is less useful than “we have four people running scripts for two days every six weeks.” The more concrete the description, the more relevant the guidance.
  • Let it ask first. The chatbot is designed to diagnose before it advises. Answer its questions before asking your own.
  • End with one action. At the close of the session, ask: “What is the single most important next step for us?” Take that one thing and act on it.

What the chatbot knows

The system prompt embeds the full structure of this site, including all symptom pages, anti-pattern categories, migration phases, and improvement plays. When it points you to a resource, it gives you a direct link to the relevant page.

It is not a general-purpose assistant. It stays focused on continuous delivery and delivery improvement. If the conversation drifts, it redirects.
