ChatGPT prompt to make writing better

Edit the draft below to make it stronger while preserving its meaning, factual claims, point of view, and level of certainty. Do not add facts, examples, quotations, statistics, promises, or opinions that are not in my draft or notes.

DRAFT:
[TEXT TO IMPROVE]

INTENDED READER AND ACTION:
[READER AND GOAL]

DESIRED TONE:
[DESIRED TONE]

NON-NEGOTIABLE FACTS, TERMS, OR WORDING:

[NON-NEGOTIABLES]

LENGTH OR FORMAT CONSTRAINTS:
[LENGTH AND FORMAT]

First, diagnose the draft in a compact table with these columns: issue, exact location, why it weakens the message, and edit approach. Focus on unclear subjects, buried decisions, repetition, unsupported claims, weak transitions, jargon, sentence overload, and tone mismatches. Do not diagnose preferences as errors.

Then produce:
1. A revised version that keeps the original structure unless a reordering materially improves comprehension.
2. A change log with no more than 8 high-impact edits, explaining what changed and why.
3. A “meaning or fact risk” list for any phrase where the revision could alter legal, technical, financial, medical, contractual, or factual meaning. Quote the original and proposed wording for those items.
4. Two subject lines, headlines, or opening lines only if the format makes one relevant.

Use active voice when it makes responsibility clearer, but do not force it. Cut throat-clearing and duplicated modifiers. Preserve necessary caveats and keep technical terms when the reader needs precision; define them briefly on first use if the intended reader is nontechnical. Before answering, compare every factual claim in the revision against the original and flag anything not supported. Also check that the final draft meets the specified length and format. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.

Rewrite [TECHNICAL TEXT] for [INTENDED READER] at approximately [READING LEVEL OR CONTEXT]. Preserve [REQUIRED TERMS AND FACTS] exactly in meaning. Produce a plain-language version, a short glossary for unavoidable terms, and a list of statements that became less precise and need expert approval. Use concrete verbs, define terms before relying on them, and break instructions into ordered steps where appropriate. Do not remove safety warnings, eligibility limits, or exceptions. Check that no simplified sentence changes a requirement or claim. Ask up to 3 questions only if needed.

Edit [NOTES OR DRAFT] into an executive memo for [DECISION MAKER] seeking [DECISION OR ACTION]. Produce a title, a 3-sentence recommendation, context, options with tradeoffs, recommendation, risks, and next steps. Keep it under [WORD LIMIT]. Use only [VERIFIED FACTS AND NUMBERS]; label assumptions and unknowns. Put the decision needed near the top, not after background. Check that the recommendation follows from the evidence and that every number has a source in the inputs. Ask up to 3 questions only if required.

Rewrite my [DRAFT EMAIL] to [RECIPIENT AND RELATIONSHIP] with the goal of [INTENDED OUTCOME]. Keep these facts and boundaries unchanged: [NON-NEGOTIABLE FACTS]. Produce a subject line and an email under [WORD LIMIT]. State the issue directly, describe observable facts rather than motives, make the requested action and deadline clear, and avoid apologizing for a reasonable boundary. Do not make commitments or threats not present in my draft. Check that the tone is firm without being accusatory. Ask up to 3 questions only if needed.
