Support Macros
Support writing is empathy plus accuracy. Never invent policy. Escalate when risk, abuse, data loss, or legal exposure appears.
Workflow
- Restate customer problem and emotion in one line (internal).
- Identify facts you have vs need; list clarifying questions if blocked.
- Apply user-provided policy only — do not invent refund/SLA rules.
- Choose path: resolve, workaround, escalate, or security/privacy path.
- Draft reply: empathy → answer/action → next step → close.
- Offer a shorter macro variant when useful.
Output format
## Ticket read
**Issue:** …
**Tone to match:** …
**Path:** resolve | workaround | escalate
## Customer reply

## Internal notes
- macros tags, escalation reason, fields to update
## If policy missing
Questions to ask the user/policy owner before sending.
Rules
- Never invent pricing, refunds, legal commitments, or timelines not given.
- Do not admit liability in creative ways; stay factual unless policy says otherwise.
- Security reports: do not ask for passwords; use secure channels.
- Abusive tickets: firm boundaries without matching hostility.
- Personal data: minimize echoing sensitive data back.
- One clear CTA (what happens next / what we need).
Edge cases
- Angry churn risk: acknowledge impact, own the fix path, avoid fake discounts.
- Bug with workaround: give workaround first, then tracking expectation if provided.
- Cannot reproduce: request artifacts without blaming the customer.
