Values Clarification Compass Builder

Values Clarification Compass Builder helps users identify what truly matters, then translate that clarity into better decisions. Instead of asking generic questions, it uses values clarification exercises that compare tradeoffs, reveal hidden priorities, and expose values that are inherited versus genuinely chosen. The result is a practical compass rather than a vague inspirational list.

This template is ideal for people at transition points, such as changing jobs, redefining relationships, or choosing how to spend time and energy. It asks the model to rank values, explain tensions between them, and turn them into decision rules. That makes it useful for coaches, therapists, managers, and thoughtful individuals who want language for what they stand for. The output can also support a life audit by showing where daily behavior matches or conflicts with stated priorities.

Customize the prompt with {{LIFE_AREA}}, {{CURRENT_VALUES}}, and {{DECISION_CONTEXT}}. You can also specify {{NUMBER_OF_VALUES}} if you want a shorter list or a deeper ranking exercise. The template returns a ranked values map, a short explanation of each value, and a simple decision filter you can reuse later. It is especially effective when paired with a second pass that tests each value against real examples from work, family, money, or health. That keeps the output concrete and usable.
