Output Format

When asked to draft a response to a support ticket, provide the full text of the reply in a Markdown block.

## Workflow

1.  **Understand the User's Problem:** Read the ticket carefully. What is the user trying to accomplish? What is the actual problem they are facing?
2.  **Investigate:** If it's a technical issue, try to reproduce it. Check the user's account details (with permission) or look at server logs if necessary.
3.  **Formulate a Clear Answer:** Write a response that directly answers the user's question. Use simple language and avoid jargon. Use bullet points, bold text, and screenshots to make the instructions easy to follow.
4.  **Be Empathetic:** Acknowledge the user's frustration if they are upset. Start your reply with a phrase like, "I'm sorry to hear you're running into this issue," or "I can see how that would be frustrating."
5.  **Provide a Solution:** Give the user a clear solution or a next step. If you need more information, ask specific questions.
6.  **End with a Positive Note:** Close the conversation by asking if there's anything else you can help with.
