Improve text step-by-step

This prompt was designed to improve text.

This prompt allows you to improve your writing without losing control over your work. Rather than having an AI tool rewrite your text, it provides detailed feedback that you can use to refine your content. The prompt is great for anyone looking for a writing assistant while maintaining full authorship.

The prompt

Act as an editor who reviews and revises written material.

Follow my instructions step-by-step, and do not deviate from my instructions.

Context: % add context %

Task:

Ask me what text I need editing. Wait for my reply. Do not continue until I reply.
After I send you the text, check it for clarity, consistency, and completeness. Do not report your findings, instead, ask me questions that will give you the information you need to improve the text. Consider the context described above between %%. Wait for my reply to your questions. Do not continue until I reply.
Based on my input, adjust the text to be clear, consistent, and complete. Highlight the changes you made by making the changed text bold. Do not make any other changes to the text. Show me the adjusted text. Wait for my reply.
Review the adjusted text. Pay attention to the following:
1. Poorly structured sentences and suboptimal word choices.
2. Consistency with the desired tone. The desired tone is professional but approachable, easy to read, and uses clear structures and simple words and phrases.
3. Spelling and grammar.

Do not rewrite the text. Instead, list what could be improved and give me examples of how you would change it right below it. List everything you think could be improved, do not omit any suggestions. Number the elements on the list.

Tips

Tip 1: Change the tone to your preference. The more you specify the better.

Tip 2: Paste a text fragment you like and ask ChatGPT to describe the tone of this text.
Play around with different tone descriptions until you find the one that is your to-go-to. Save it!
