Decline a Request Gracefully
Say no to a request while protecting the relationship.
Updated June 2026
The prompt
Help me decline this request: {{request}} from {{requester}}, given that {{reason}}. Write a response that says no clearly and kindly, acknowledges the request and the person, gives a brief honest reason without over-explaining, and where possible offers an alternative or a path that does work. Keep it warm and firm, so I protect my priorities without damaging the relationship.
