Bad prompt = Bad result.
Here are the prompts that actually work:
1. The Voice Match
"Rewrite this to sound like me, not AI.
Here's how I actually talk: [paste 3 real messages/emails]
Match my sentence length, line breaks, and rhythm. Don't copy words. Copy patterns.
Now rewrite: [your draft]"

2. The Word Filter
"Words I avoid: [list them]
Words I use constantly: [list them]
Rewrite this using only MY vocabulary: [paste draft]
If you catch yourself using words from my avoid list, stop and replace immediately."

3. The Thinking Out Loud
"Write about [topic] like I'm recording a voice memo while walking.
Incomplete thoughts = fine
Starting with 'And' or 'But' = fine
Grammar shortcuts = fine
Make it sound raw, not rehearsed."

4. The Generic Filter
"Go through this line by line: [draft]
Delete every sentence that could apply to ANY topic.
Test: if it works for both [your topic] and 'how to cook pasta,' it's too generic.
Replace with something only YOU can say."

Rewrite the opening with a strong take.
Name what most people get wrong about [topic].
If this doesn't make 20% of readers disagree, push harder."

Who did it? What exactly happened? When? How?"
