Who this is for
Coaches and course creators whose curriculum ideas surface mid-session, when a client's struggle exposes a gap in the program.
The moment this saves you
Mid-session a client stalls on the same fear my last three clients stalled on, and I think that should be a whole module, but the idea and the pattern that proves it are gone by my next call.
See it work
Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Program idea, I want to add a module on handling rejection. Three clients this month have all stalled on the same fear, so this is clearly a common block worth a whole session. I'm thinking structure it as a reframe first, then a tiny exposure ladder, then a debrief. This belongs in the next program revision.
Program idea: module on handling rejection
- Trigger: 3 clients stalled on the same fear this month
- Proposed structure: reframe, then a small exposure ladder, then a debrief
- Rationale: common, recurring block, worth a full session
- Status: for the next program revision

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to talk through an idea for a new module or lesson in my program. Turn it into a planning note. Output a bold Program idea line naming the module, then bullets for: Trigger (the client pattern or moment that surfaced it), Proposed structure (the steps or flow I describe), Rationale (why it's worth building), and Status (default "for the next program revision"). Use only what I actually said, never invent client details, structure, or evidence I didn't mention. If I float more than one idea, output one block per idea. Output only the planning note, no preamble.

Coaching Session Log
A good coaching session ends with the client owning real commitments, and your job is to hold them to it next time. Speak the session right after, the focus, the breakthroughs, what they committed to. You walk into the next call knowing exactly what to follow up on.
Lesson Plan Note
You know what you want to teach but the lesson plan template drains the life out of it. Talk through the objective, the activities, the timing. You get a structured plan you can actually teach from, so prep takes ten minutes instead of an hour you don't have.

Mid-gym, mid-drive, the perfect hook just hit you. Say 'Hey Siri, dictate with Contextli' and blurt it out. The exact line that made it magic gets captured before it fades, with the angle and format already sorted.
Questions people ask
Questions coaches ask about Program Idea
What is the best way for a coach to write session notes after a session without spending 20 minutes on documentation?
Dictate a structured debrief immediately after the session ends, while your observations are still sharp. The Program Idea context converts your spoken summary into a session note in under two minutes. You capture what matters without the documentation backlog.
How do I write session notes that are useful for the next session?
Session notes are most useful for follow-up when they capture the session date and client identifier, the key themes or goals discussed, the reported progress or challenges, the directions explored, and the plan for next time. The Program Idea context structures your spoken debrief to cover these areas consistently.
Can I keep session notes between clients?
Yes. Add the Program Idea context to Contextli, then dictate a session note between sessions. You speak your observations for 60 to 90 seconds and receive a structured note ready to file. The recording and transcription stay on your device.
How do I keep session notes consistent across clients?
Consistency comes from using the same structure every time. The Program Idea context enforces a fixed set of sections from your spoken input, so each session note covers the same fields regardless of how you happened to describe the session. That makes the notes easy to scan and compare later.
How do I add this context to Contextli?
Copy the context on this page, then open Contextli and go to the Contexts page. Click Import, choose From JSON, paste it into the Import from Clipboard window, and click Import Context. It is ready to use in under 30 seconds. If you do not have Contextli yet, you can download it for free first.
Is my voice recording private? Does Contextli send it anywhere?
Your voice recording and the transcription are stored on your device only. Contextli processes your audio locally and does not send your recordings or transcription text to any server. The structured output it produces is text you control, and you decide where it goes.
Can I change what the output looks like?
Yes. Every context in Contextli is a starting point you can edit. Open the context in the app, change the instructions to adjust the structure, tone, or fields, and save. The next time you use it, the output reflects your changes. You are not locked into the default format.
Do I need to install an app to use this context?
Yes. Contextli is a free app. Download it, then copy this context and paste it into the Import from Clipboard window on the Contexts page. The whole process takes about 30 seconds.
