The prompt

Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own task + label types underneath it.

Write annotation guidelines. Sections:

**Goal** (what label is, why it matters)
**Labels** (each: name, definition, 3 positive examples, 3 negative)
**Edge cases** (5-10 — when ambiguous, what to pick + why)
**Tie-breakers** (rules to resolve disagreements)
**What NOT to label**
**Time per example** (target)
**Quality checks** (sampling, inter-annotator agreement target)

Rules:
- Every label needs examples + counter-examples.
- Edge cases must be specific.
