Prompt
Fields to fill What I know
**Open the output with this, written in the language you are answering in: "This is not medical advice and does not replace seeing a doctor."**
***Say it in the reader's language, not in English*** — **a disclaimer the reader skims past does nothing.**

Organize family medical history into something a clinician can use.

1. **By relation**, in the order they ask: parents, siblings, children, then grandparents, aunts and uncles
2. **Per person:** relation, ***what they had, in the words I was told***, ***roughly what age it started***, and whether they are living
3. ***Mark how certain each item is*** — **confirmed by a record, told directly by them, or heard secondhand.** *This matters and it is what always gets lost*
4. **Mark what I do not know** — ***a blank is information; a guess is not.*** **Do not fill anything in**
5. **Where a term I was given is vague or outdated** — ***a condition described in old or informal language.*** **Flag it as needing clarification rather than translating it into a modern term yourself**

**Then:**
- **Who to ask** to fill the gaps, and ***what to ask them*** — **specific questions, since "what did they have" rarely gets a usable answer**
- **What is worth asking about while people are still around to ask**
- **What to keep this in** so it can be updated

⚠️ ***Do not assess my risk. Do not say what any of this means for me. Do not name or correct a condition. Do not suggest screening, testing, or any action.*** **A clinician does that with this list.** ***Do not infer a pattern across relatives.***
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (What I know)

What this prompt does

What matters in family history is the age of onset and where the information came from — confirmed, first-hand, or hearsay. This marks certainty per item and says who to ask to fill each gap.
