Does this sound annoyed?
You wrote it while irritated and it is going to someone who matters.
Read this as the recipient. Do I sound annoyed? Quote the exact phrases doing it.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Tone check. Reading a draft back before you send it: too cold, too soft, too annoyed.
