/tradeoffs
Shows what you gain and give up with each choice.
The full prompt
/tradeoffs Compare these choices: [choice A] vs. [choice B]. For each, list what I gain and what I give up on cost, time, quality, risk, and long-term effects. Put it in a table, then say in two sentences which situations favor each choice. Do not pick for me unless I ask.
Replace the highlighted [brackets] with your own details, then send.
