Crisis directive
A tight, actionable directive to the chair — covert or public, with a fallback. Built for Model UN delegates who want a draft that reads like real diplomacy — not a Wikipedia summary.
Key highlights
Directive format
Action, assets, authority, sequence, and secrecy — structured the way the dais reads them.
True to your powers
Scoped to what your portfolio can actually do — no overreach for the chair to reject.
Sequenced and timed
A clear order of operations, not a wish list of outcomes.
Built-in fallback
A one-line plan B for when the directive is blocked or leaks.
About this template
A crisis directive is your private move on the board — and chairs reward the ones that are specific, realistic, and sequenced. Give your portfolio and your objective, and this template writes a directive that states the action, the assets and authority you are invoking, the timing, and who must not find out.
It stays inside the powers your role actually has, so the dais can rule on it cleanly instead of rejecting an overreach. It also includes a one-line fallback for when the directive is blocked or leaks — because in crisis, it usually does.
Model Diplomat vs. generic AI
The same prompt in a general chatbot can produce something that reads right and isn't. Here's the difference.
| Aspect | This template | ChatGPT / generic AI |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Primary documents, cited and openable | Often fabricated, or none at all |
| Format | Conference-ready, in your committee's standard structure | A blank page — you supply the format |
| Verifiability | Every claim checkable against its source | No way to tell what's real |
| Built for the work | Tuned for diplomacy, politics, and law | General-purpose, not domain-aware |
| Cost | Free to start | — |

What you'll fill in
A preview of the 2 fields you'll complete in the composer — the rest is written for you.
The prompt
This is what lands in your composer — edit the [blanks] and send.
Write a Model UN crisis directive. My role: [your portfolio or role]. Objective: [what you want to achieve]. Format it as a directive to the chair: state the action, the assets and authority I'm invoking, the sequence and timing, and who must not find out. Keep it realistic to the powers my role actually has. Add a one-line fallback if the directive is blocked or leaks.
