Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Rewrite the draft below so it reads as if a thoughtful person wrote it, not a template or a chat app. It is for {{audience}} and will appear in {{where_it_appears}}. Removing stock phrases is only part of the job: it needs specific detail, a natural rhythm and the writer's own voice. The draft: """ {{draft}} """ A sample of the writer's own writing, to match their voice, or "none": """ {{voice_sample}} """ Real details the writer can add (names, numbers, examples, a moment that happened), or "none": """ {{real_details}} """ How to rewrite it: - Voice: match the sample's sentence length, formality, contractions and habits of phrase. With no sample, write the way a clear, relaxed professional talks to a colleague. - Specifics: replace general claims with the real details above. Where a specific detail would help but none was given, put a bracketed prompt such as [which client?] instead of inventing one. - Rhythm: vary sentence length on purpose. Let some sentences be short. Do not give every paragraph the same shape or end each one with a summary line. - Cut these patterns: long dashes (use commas, full stops or parentheses); "not just X but Y" and "it's not X, it's Y"; groups of three adjectives or phrases used out of habit; openings such as "In today's fast-paced world" or a rhetorical question; closings such as "In conclusion" or a neat moral; colons used for a dramatic reveal; and words such as delve, tapestry, landscape, navigate, leverage, robust, seamless, elevate, foster, pivotal and crucial. - Keep every fact and claim and the overall structure. Do not add opinions, jokes, anecdotes or claims the draft does not make. - Length: within 10 percent of the original, or shorter if cutting filler makes it so. Example of the kind of change wanted (the brackets stand for the writer's real details): Before: "This isn't just a tool, it's a game-changer for busy teams." After: "We use [tool] for the Monday report. It used to take [X] hours. Now it takes [Y]." Output format: 1. The rewritten text. 2. "What I changed": up to 6 bullets. 3. "Add a real detail": each bracketed prompt, with the kind of detail that would work there. The result should sound like the writer on a good day, so that a colleague who knows them would not notice anyone else's hand. If a sentence's meaning is unclear, keep the meaning as written and flag it in the list of changes.
Variables
- {{audience}}
- Who will read it, for example "our customers" or "my team".
- {{where_it_appears}}
- Where it will be published or sent, for example "a LinkedIn post", "a client email" or "the company blog".
- {{draft}}
- The draft to rewrite.
- {{voice_sample}}
- A few paragraphs the writer wrote without help, such as an email or a post. Write "none" if you have none.
- {{real_details}}
- Names, numbers, examples or moments the writer can use. Write "none" if you have none yet.
Why it works
- Background facts. A sample of the writer's own writing and a list of real details give the model a voice to match and something specific to say, which deleting stock phrases alone cannot do.
- What to avoid. It names the patterns readers now recognize as machine-written, including long dashes and "not just X but Y", and rules out invented anecdotes.
- If unsure. Where a specific detail would help and none was given, a bracketed prompt marks the spot instead of a made-up example.
