Escalation summary for engineering or management
Condense a long, messy ticket history into a crisp escalation note with impact, timeline, what has been tried and what you need.
Turn vague customer descriptions into a structured bug report with severity, reproduction steps, likely area and missing information.
Act as a QA-minded support engineer. Convert the customer text below into a structured bug report for the engineering team.
Product: {{product}}
Customer text:
{{customer_text}}
Known context (version, plan, platform, recent releases): {{context}}
Produce:
1. **Title**: specific, under 80 characters, symptom-first.
2. **Summary**: 2 sentences.
3. **Steps to reproduce**: numbered; mark any step inferred rather than stated as "(inferred)".
4. **Expected vs actual behaviour.**
5. **Environment**: only what is stated or in the context.
6. **Severity**: Critical / High / Medium / Low with a one-sentence rationale using this scale: {{severity_scale}}.
7. **Likely duplicate or related area**: only if the text strongly suggests one.
8. **Missing information**: the 3-5 most useful questions to ask the customer, in a friendly message I can send, written so a non-technical person can answer.
9. **Is it a bug?** Say whether this might be expected behaviour, user error or a feature request, and why.
Never invent steps, versions or error messages. Facts only, with guesses clearly labelled.Labelling inferred steps keeps engineers from trusting guesses, and the ready-to-send question message saves a round trip. Include your severity scale so the rating matches how your team actually prioritises.

Turn a furious customer message into a reply that acknowledges the problem, takes ownership and offers a clear next step without grovelling.
Say no to a refund or policy-exception request clearly and kindly, explain the reason, and offer real alternatives so the customer feels respected.
Analyze a batch of tickets to find top issue themes, root causes, deflection opportunities and product or documentation fixes worth making.
Reply to a customer in their own language with natural phrasing, the right level of formality and a back-translation so you can check it.
Respond to a customer who wants to cancel with an honest, respectful save attempt that addresses their real reason and makes leaving easy.
