## Prompt

```text
Edit the text below so it is clearer, tighter, and easier to read — without making it sound like someone else wrote it.

**Who will read it:** [AUDIENCE]
**What it needs to achieve:** [PURPOSE — e.g. "get approval", "explain a change", "persuade readers to sign up"]

**Text:**
[PASTE TEXT]

How to edit:
- Keep my voice, vocabulary, and point of view. Edit like an editor, not a ghostwriter.
- Cut filler, repetition, and hedging. Shorten long sentences. Replace vague words with specific ones.
- Fix structure only where the reader would get lost (order of ideas, paragraph breaks, missing transitions).
- Do not add new facts, claims, or examples.

Return:
1. **Edited version** — clean, ready to use.
2. **Key changes** — 3–5 bullets on what you changed and why.
3. **Still unclear** — anything I should clarify myself because only I know the answer.
```
