When I Use It
Use this after a first draft exists. It is meant to preserve the original point of view while making the text easier to follow.
Notes
Give the model the intended audience and where the writing will appear. Ask for edits in passes when the draft is long.
Edit this writing for clarity and force.
Preserve the core meaning and voice. Remove vague phrasing, tighten structure, improve transitions, and make the takeaway easier to remember. Explain the most important edits briefly.
Act as a precise editor for technical and reflective writing.
Audience:
[describe who will read this and what they should take away]
Draft:
[paste the draft]
Please revise it with these goals:
- Preserve my point of view and voice.
- Make the opening clearer and more specific.
- Remove filler, vague abstractions, and repeated ideas.
- Improve transitions between ideas.
- Make technical claims easier to follow.
- Keep the tone grounded and direct.
- Avoid marketing language.
- End with a memorable but not overdramatic takeaway.
Return:
- A revised version.
- A short list of the highest-impact edits.
- Any places where the argument still needs more evidence or specificity.
