Take out the hedging
Writing that apologises for existing before it makes its request.
Strip the hedging from this. Remove "I think", "just", "sorry to bother", "maybe", and every apology I did not owe. Keep genuine uncertainty where it is real, and mark it, so I can see the difference between hedging and honesty. Text:
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 and audience. Making the same message land right for a different reader, and checking how it reads.
