# Writing High-Quality Performance Reviews
## Problem Context
This task is intensely time-consuming, and managers struggle to be specific with concrete, behavioral examples. They often fail to recall a full year's worth of data and default to recent events, leading to reviews that feel unfair or incomplete.
## Solution Pattern: review-synthesizer
The "Review Synthesizer" Workflow: A multi-step process that separates data ingestion from drafting. The AI first analyzes all inputs (self-review, projects, peer feedback) to identify themes, then generates specific sections based on competency models.
## Multi-Step Workflow
This is a multi-step process. Follow each step in order:
### Step 1: Step 1: Data Ingestion
AI analyzes self-review, completed projects, and peer feedback to identify 5 key themes, 3 strengths, and 3 areas for development
**Prompt Template:**
Act as an Engineering Manager's assistant. I am this task is intensely time-consuming, and managers struggle to be specific with concrete, behavioral examples. they often fail to recall a full year's worth of data and default to recent events, leading to reviews that feel unfair or incomplete..
I will provide you with [relevant data/context]. Your task is to:
1. Analyze all inputs
2. Identify key themes, patterns, and insights
3. Provide a structured summary with specific examples
### Step 2: Step 2: Targeted Drafting
AI generates specific sections based on company competency models using behavioral examples
**Prompt Template:**
Using the analysis from Step 1, generate [specific output].
Requirements:
- Use the themes and insights identified in the previous step
- Include specific examples and behavioral evidence
- Ensure tone is professional and constructive
- Follow [company/team] competency models and guidelines
### Step 3: Step 3: Refinement
AI helps refine tone and co-create SMART goals for future development
**Prompt Template:**
Review and refine the output from Step 2.
Focus on:
- Improving clarity and specificity
- Balancing positive and constructive feedback
- Ensuring alignment with goals and objectives
- Adding actionable next steps or recommendations
## Example Use Case
AI can transform 50 pages of raw feedback into a structured, fair, and comprehensive performance review in minutes, ensuring no important themes are missed.
