Plain-language rewrite of something official
Policy, legal, terms, HR copy, or anything written defensively.
Rewrite the text below in plain language, as if explaining it to the person it applies to. 1. Say what is required or what will happen, in the first sentence. 2. Use "you" and "we". Name who does what. 3. Turn conditions into a list of plain if-then statements. 4. Keep exact figures, deadlines, and defined legal terms unchanged. Note which terms you kept and why. 5. Remove cross-references to other sections where you can inline the meaning instead. Then give me a short list: anything in the original that is genuinely ambiguous, and anything that reads as if it was written to be hard to act on. Quote both. 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.
Clarity and plain language. Stripping jargon and abstraction until a reader gets it on the first pass.
