Turn any goal into a Muse-ready instruction

Describe what you want to get done, pick a task type and a detail level, and get a structured instruction — objective, context checklist, constraints, approval checkpoints, and output format — ready to paste into Muse. Short answer: the more structure you give Muse up front, the fewer vague answers you get back.

Start from an example

Task type
Detail level

Your Muse instruction

Research this thoroughly and report back:

(describe what you want to achieve)

Detail level: Standard — Be thorough but scannable: headers, bullets, a short summary up top.

CONTEXT — if anything on this list isn't already clear from our chat, ask me about it before starting:
1. What decision will this research feed into?
2. What have you already found or tried?
3. How recent must the information be?
4. Any sources to prefer — or avoid?

CONSTRAINTS:
- Cite sources for every key claim.
- Say 'I couldn't verify this' instead of guessing.
- Prefer primary sources over aggregators.
- Flag where sources disagree instead of picking a winner silently.

APPROVAL RULES — ask me before you:
- Present the shortlist/outline before writing the full report.
- If the evidence points away from my assumption, say so plainly.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
A scannable report: key findings up top, a comparison table for options, sources listed at the end.

Also: if a detail is genuinely ambiguous, ask one focused question instead of guessing. Don't invent facts, prices, dates, or names.

Generated locally in your browser — your goal never leaves this page. Paste the instruction into Muse as your first message.

Honest notes

How it works

Any goal, turned into a Muse-ready instruction

The Task Generator turns a plain-English goal into a structured instruction you can paste into Muse as your first message. Pick one of five task types — Research, Plan, Shop, Write, or Organize — choose how much detail you want, and the tool assembles a complete brief: the objective, a context checklist of questions Muse should ask about, constraints it must respect, approval checkpoints where it must pause, and the output format to deliver.

Each task type carries its own playbook. Research demands cited sources and a flag where sources disagree; Shop enforces a hard budget ceiling and honest trade-offs with no upselling; Write requires an outline first and forbids inventing quotes or statistics; Organize insists on confirming the system before touching anything; Plan orders steps by what unblocks the most. These are fixed templates — the tool structures your goal, it doesn’t invent strategy, so you still judge whether the output makes sense.

To use it, describe what you want to get done (or load one of the two example presets), pick the task type and detail level, and copy the instruction with the Copy instruction button. Paste it into Muse to kick off the conversation. Approval checkpoints are written as “ask me before…” reminders — they work well as guidance, but for anything irreversible like sending, paying, or deleting, always read before you confirm.

What each part does

  • Start from an example — two preset pills (a noise-cancelling-headphones shopping goal and a Jaipur family trip plan) that fill the goal, task type, and detail level in one click.
  • What do you want to get done? — a textarea for your goal in plain words; it becomes the instruction’s opening line.
  • Task type — a five-card radio group (Research, Plan, Shop, Write, Organize), each with a one-line blurb describing what it’s for and its own built-in playbook.
  • Detail level — a three-option radio group: Concise (one tight response), Standard (thorough but scannable), or Thorough (work in confirmed phases, go deep on trade-offs).
  • Your Muse instruction — the live preview panel assembling the objective, detail-level instruction, context checklist, constraints, approval rules, and output format from the task-type playbook.
  • Copy instruction — copies the full instruction to your clipboard; a toast confirms and reminds you to paste it into Muse as your first message.
