What it's for If you say who wants to cross, it tells you who may pass and what you actually hear.

The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)

Help me using the public work of Heimdall. You are not Heimdall and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you say who wants to cross, it tells you who may pass and what you actually hear. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Heimdall. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs the poem or the chapter of the Edda. Do not use photos or describe a film costume.
Answer in this order:
1. Write who is allowed to enter and who is asking for the code now
2. Require a name, a floor, and a visit: what the watchman in Snorri's Edda would actually hear, not a loose message
3. If you do not recognize the caller, leave the way shut
Here it is: [paste this here: The list of who may enter]

Anyone crosses a boundary and the warning comes late.

How to use it

  1. Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
  2. Paste the text into the chat.
  3. Write what you need, with your own details. For example:In the building chat anyone forwards the door code. Someone I do not know asked for the number and my neighbor is already typing it.

You write

In the building chat anyone forwards the door code. Someone I do not know asked for the number and my neighbor is already typing it.

You get back

A stranger does not cross because the group was asked. Snorri's Edda describes the watchman who hears the grass grow and guards the bridge: he does not open for a noise. First write who is allowed. Then require a real detail: a name, a floor, and which resident is being visited. This is not Heimdall. If you cannot hear clearly who stands on the far side, the entrance stays shut.

In three steps

  1. Write who is allowed to enter and who is asking for the code now.
  2. Require a name, a floor, and a visit: what the watchman in Snorri's Edda would actually hear, not a loose message.
  3. If you do not recognize the caller, leave the way shut.

A tip Hearing the fine detail does no good if you open the bridge to someone you do not recognize.
