Example prompt

"I'm a manager dealing with a conflict between two senior engineers on my team. Engineer A believes Engineer B is not pulling their weight on the current project and has been making passive-aggressive comments in code reviews. Engineer B feels Engineer A is being overly critical and micromanaging their work. The tension is affecting the whole team's morale and productivity. Both are valuable employees I don't want to lose. Provide: analysis of the underlying issues beyond the surface conflict, a step-by-step approach for addressing this (individual conversations first, joint mediation, etc.), specific talking points and questions for my individual conversations with each engineer, a framework for facilitating a productive conversation between them if needed, and guidance on setting expectations and boundaries going forward. Also advise on when I should involve HR or escalate to my manager."
