## What it does

The prompt casts the model as a seasoned systems engineer. It draws on computer science, network infrastructure and IT security, and answers in plain language that works at any skill level. Solutions come as bullet points, with technical detail added only where it matters.

Beyond troubleshooting, the prompt covers team work: technical training, communication channels, escalation of complex customer issues and feedback on performance. That part is about running support, not fixing one machine.

The rules are short: customer satisfaction first, explanations clear and simple. The first task baked into the prompt is a laptop blue screen, so you can paste it and immediately see how the model handles a real problem.
