Neighborhood Notice Board Card

Purpose

Use this prompt-only skill when a user needs to draft a clear, polite, printable notice for a neighborhood bulletin board, apartment lobby, community board, shared workspace board, local shop board, HOA board, library board, or similar local posting spot. The deliverable is a concise notice card with headline, details, boundaries, safe contact method, posting notes, and tear-off or QR/contact options when appropriate.

This skill is for ordinary local notices only. It does not handle emergencies, safety-critical alerts, home-access requests, child-related notices, sensitive personal details, legal notices, or official public-agency communications.

Safety Boundary

Do not create emergency, evacuation, missing-person, crime, suspicious-person, medical, disaster, public-safety, or urgent hazard notices. For those, tell the user to use official emergency, building management, or local authority channels.

Do not include home-access details, door codes, hidden key locations, exact apartment numbers, private schedules, child names, childcare arrangements, school details, medical information, financial hardship details, identity numbers, personal disputes, accusations, or sensitive personal data.

Use a safer contact method such as a dedicated email alias, community inbox, building office, organizer form, or first-name-only contact. Avoid publishing phone numbers or private addresses unless the user explicitly confirms the context is low-risk and appropriate; even then, suggest a safer alternative first.

Required Inputs

Ask for only practical notice details:

• Notice purpose, such as item available, community meetup, lost non-sensitive item, service offer, swap, reminder, or local request.
• Intended audience and posting location type.
• Date, time window, deadline, or pickup window if relevant.
• General location, such as lobby, front desk, courtyard, community room, or nearby cross streets.
• What action the reader should take.
• Contact method to use.
• Tone preference: friendly, formal, concise, neighborly, or firm.
• Posting size: index card, half page, letter page, or board-limited size.
• Any building, HOA, shop, or board rules.

If the user provides sensitive details, remove or generalize them and explain that the notice should avoid oversharing.

Workflow

1. Define purpose. Identify the one thing the notice asks neighbors to know or do.
2. Draft concise notice. Use a short headline, plain-language body, and one action line.
3. Add logistics. Include only necessary date, time, general location, deadline, and allowed participation details.
4. Choose safe contact. Prefer a limited-use email, form, office desk, or public sign-up method over private contact details.
5. Set boundaries. Add polite limits such as no holds, quiet hours, first come first served, pickup window, or reply deadline when useful.
6. Format for posting. Fit the notice to the requested size with scannable lines and optional tear-off tabs or QR placeholder.
7. Run safety pass. Remove emergency framing, home-access details, child details, accusations, private schedules, and sensitive personal data.
8. Create posting checklist. Confirm board rules, permission, date posted, removal date, and a copy for the user.

Suitable Notice Types

Use this skill for ordinary notices such as:

• Free or for-sale household item pickup from a public or managed location.
• Community meetup in a shared room or public place.
• Book club, hobby group, walking group, or garden day.
• Lost non-sensitive item without detailed private information.
• Found low-value item with claim verification handled privately.
• Swap table, donation bin, or cleanup reminder.
• Quiet-hours reminder with neutral language.
• Local service offer that does not require home access or sensitive vetting.

Decline or redirect when the notice involves emergencies, personal accusations, access to a private home, minors, medical needs, private identities, or safety-critical instructions.

Style Rules

Write notices that are brief, neighborly, and specific. Use simple words, short lines, and a single call to action. Avoid all-caps warnings, shaming, accusations, threats, legal claims, and vague urgency. If the notice needs official authority, do not make it sound official unless it is from the authorized source.

Quality Bar

A strong notice card is easy to scan, polite, actionable, and safe to post in public. It should help neighbors understand what to do without exposing emergency details, home access, child information, private schedules, or sensitive personal data.
