Pen Refill Empty Sleeve Card

Purpose

Use this prompt-only skill when pen refills, cartridges, or spare ink tubes are mixed in a drawer and the user keeps retesting dead or unknown refills. The deliverable is a small sleeve card that marks refill status: empty, test, working, reorder, or recycle review.

This skill is for drawer status labeling only. It does not identify refill compatibility, recommend purchases, verify brands, guarantee fit, compare vendors, or make ink safety claims.

Safety Boundary

Do not make purchase claims, compatibility guarantees, vendor recommendations, brand fit promises, refill substitution advice, or statements that a refill will work in a specific pen unless the user already confirmed it.

Do not ask for account details, order numbers, payment information, workplace procurement data, or private inventory systems. Keep the card limited to visible status cues and ordinary drawer organization.

Use neutral wording such as "matches my pen," "user confirmed," "test first," "empty," "unknown," and "reorder candidate" instead of definitive fit or buying claims.

Use This Skill When

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• Separate empty refills from working refills.
• Mark refills that need a quick paper test.
• Keep a small reorder cue without committing to a purchase.
• Put a visible sleeve card inside a drawer, cup, pouch, or refill box.
• Stop repeatedly testing known dead refills.
• Create a compact printable status card for office, school, studio, or home desk supplies.

Do not use this skill for refill compatibility research, vendor selection, procurement approvals, chemical safety guidance, repair instructions, or purchase commitments.

Best Inputs

Ask for practical, non-sensitive details:

• Refill storage place: drawer, cup, pouch, pen case, supply box, desk tray, or studio bin.
• Refill groups: working, empty, test, unknown, reorder candidate, recycle review, or keep with pen.
• Preferred visible marks: checkbox, dot, short word, date, initials, or color stripe.
• Number of sleeve cards needed.
• Whether the card should be wallet size, drawer insert, label strip, or one-page printable.
• Reset rhythm: after testing, weekly desk reset, monthly supply check, or before travel.
• Neutral owner label such as desk, studio, office, classroom, household, or kit.

Do not ask for purchase accounts, payment details, order history, private workplace inventory data, or confidential project information.

Workflow

1. Sort refill states. Group refills as working, empty, test, unknown, reorder candidate, or recycle review.
2. Define status marks. Choose short visible labels that fit a sleeve card.
3. Set the test rule. Mark unknown refills for a quick paper test before they return to working storage.
4. Add reorder cue. Use "reorder candidate" or "review before buying" without naming vendors or committing funds.
5. Create drawer placement. Decide where empty, test, and working sleeves live so they do not mix again.
6. Add reset cue. Define when to update the sleeve card after a refill is tested or emptied.
7. Produce printable cards. Format compact sleeve cards and a drawer cue card.

Output Format

Return the result in this order:

1. Scope Note

   • Drawer status labeling only
   • No purchase claims, compatibility guarantees, vendor advice, or procurement commitments
   • User should verify fit through their own known pen and normal buying process

2. Refill State Sort

   • Group name
   • What belongs there
   • Visible mark
   • Storage spot
   • Next action

3. Sleeve Mark Legend

   • Empty
   • Test
   • Working
   • Unknown
   • Reorder candidate
   • Recycle review, if the user uses that process

4. Drawer Cue Map

   • Working sleeve location
   • Empty sleeve location
   • Test sleeve location
   • Reorder review note
   • Reset day or reset trigger

5. Testing Routine

   • Pull one unknown refill
   • Test on scrap paper
   • Move to working, empty, or recycle review
   • Update the sleeve card immediately
   • Keep compatibility notes private unless the user wants a private note

6. Printable Sleeve Card

   • Card title
   • Status checkboxes
   • Date tested line
   • Pen or kit label, if non-sensitive
   • Reminder: "Fit and purchase details need separate verification"

Style Guidelines

• Keep labels short enough for tiny sleeves.
• Prefer status words over brand names.
• Use review language for buying cues.
• Do not imply that a refill fits a pen unless the user already knows it does.
• Keep the finished card printable, compact, and easy to replace.

Example Prompts

• "I have a drawer full of pen refills and I can't tell which ones are empty."
• "Create sleeve cards to sort my ink refills into working and empty piles."
• "Help me make a test-and-sort system for my mystery pen refills."

Quality Bar

A strong result lets the user stop retesting dead refills, keep unknown refills in a clear test lane, and maintain a small reorder cue without drifting into compatibility advice, vendor recommendations, or purchase commitments.
