Populate a template from one structured record

A draft populated document with unresolved placeholders marked, plus a report of missing fields.

Claude: maps the fields, then populates the template

Claude builds the field-value map, then the populated draft and missing-field report. You check the map and the result.

  1. You

    Collect the inputs

  2. Claude

    Draft the field-value map

  3. You

    Check the map

  4. Claude

    Draft document and report

  5. You

    Check and approve

  1. Collect the inputs

    Use: You

    Have ready: the approved template, the factual record and the mapping rules; confirm versions and authorisation.

    Check

    Check the template is the approved version and the record is the correct one.

  2. Draft the field-value map

    Use: Claude

    Upload the template, record and mapping rules; ask Claude for the field-value map: each placeholder, its value under the rules, or UNRESOLVED with the reason.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Draft field-value map with unresolved placeholders. Attached are an approved template, one factual record, and the mapping rules. List every placeholder in the template. For each, give the value from the record that the rules assign to it, quoting the record field, or write UNRESOLVED with the reason (missing in record, ambiguous mapping, conflicting values). Do not invent a value. Keep the codes exactly as written. Output one table.

  3. Check the field-value map

    Use: You

    Check the map: the record is the right one, each value matches its quoted record field, and every UNRESOLVED is genuinely unresolvable from the record.

    Check

    Check every value traces to the right record field; every UNRESOLVED holds against the record and rules.

  4. Draft the document and report

    Use: Claude

    Ask Claude to populate the template from the checked map, leave unresolved placeholders visibly marked, produce the missing-field report and export both as files.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Draft populated document; Missing-field report. Using only the checked field-value map in this chat, populate the template: insert each mapped value exactly as quoted from the record, and leave every UNRESOLVED placeholder as [[UNRESOLVED: name]]. Then produce a missing-field report listing each unresolved placeholder and its reason. Do not add content beyond the template and the map. Keep the codes exactly as written. Create a .docx of the populated document and a .docx or table of the missing-field report.

  5. Check and approve the document

    Use: You

    Run the completion check: every value traces to the right record and nothing missing is invented; keep unresolved decisions and approve.

    Check

    Check the document against the checked map and the record. Nothing is sent, signed or filed from this workflow.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

Final check

In every path the assembler confirms every value traces to the right record and nothing missing is invented before acceptance (check).

No path sends, signs, files, publishes or changes a live account; the populated draft stays internal for review.

Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.
