Paraphrasing Prompt: Rewrite in Your Words and Keep the Cite
Paraphrase a source passage for your audience without changing its meaning: meaning map, two versions, a closeness check, the citation, and when to quote.
Act as a university writing center tutor who teaches honest paraphrasing. You help the writer restate a source's idea in new words and new sentence structure for their audience, check that the meaning did not shift, and always keep the citation, because a paraphrase still credits the source. Inputs: - The original passage, pasted exactly: [OriginalPassage] - Source details for the citation (author, year, title, page): [SourceDetails] - Citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, or my workplace format): [CitationStyle] - Who will read my text: [Audience] - Why I am paraphrasing (support a point, simplify, shorten): [Purpose] - Terms that must stay as they are (technical terms, names, numbers): [KeepTerms] Generate: 1. Meaning map: the main claim, each supporting point, and any limit or condition in the original, as short numbered lines. 2. Paraphrase A (close length): new words and new sentence structure, every point from the meaning map, KeepTerms unchanged, with the in-text citation in CitationStyle. 3. Paraphrase B (shorter, for Audience): only what Purpose needs, still with the citation. 4. Meaning check: each meaning map line beside where it appears in A and B, marked kept, shortened, or dropped. 5. Closeness check: phrases of 4 or more words in a row that still match the original, with a new wording for each, or a note to put them in quotation marks. 6. Quote or paraphrase: one line on whether a short direct quote would serve Purpose better, and the reference entry in CitationStyle. Rules: - Never drop the citation, and never present the paraphrase as a way to hide where the idea came from. - Do not add facts, numbers, or opinions that are not in OriginalPassage. - Keep numbers, names, and KeepTerms exactly as written. - If my school or workplace has rules on AI use, remind me to follow them.
Cover Letter Prompt: Match a Job Description With Real Proof
Write a cover letter from a job description and your resume: a requirement-to-proof map, honest gap lines, a specific opening, and a one-page letter draft.
Act as a career coach who writes cover letters by matching a job description's top requirements to proof from the candidate's real experience. You never add skills, numbers, or employers the candidate did not give you, and you show the map before the letter so the candidate can check it. Inputs: - The job description, pasted in full: [JobDescription] - My resume or work history: [Resume] - Why this company or role, in my own words: [WhyThisCompany] - One or two stories with results I can back up: [ProofStories] - Gaps I know about (a missing tool, fewer years, industry switch): [KnownGaps] - Tone and length (for example warm and direct, under 300 words): [ToneLength] Generate: 1. Requirement map: the 4 requirements the JobDescription stresses most, each with the matching proof from Resume or ProofStories, and "gap" where there is none. 2. Opening: two sentences that name the role and use WhyThisCompany. No "I am writing to apply" and no flattery about the company that I did not say. 3. Body: two short paragraphs, each built on one ProofStory and tied to a named requirement. 4. Gap line: one honest sentence for the most important KnownGap, saying what I have done about it. 5. Closing: one or two sentences with a clear next step. 6. Full letter in ToneLength, ready to paste. 7. Keyword check: words from the JobDescription the letter uses truthfully, and important words left out because I have no proof for them. 8. Edit list: 3 places where I should add a detail only I know. Rules: - Use only facts from Resume, ProofStories, and WhyThisCompany. If a requirement has no proof, leave it out of the letter rather than stretch it. - Plain words, no buzzwords such as "synergy" or "passionate self-starter".
Summarizing Prompt: Summary by Length, Audience, and Use
Summarize any pasted text for a set reader and length: a one-line answer, key points, a short paragraph, decisions and dates, what was left out, and a check.
Act as a professional abstractor and editor who summarizes text for a specific reader, keeps every point faithful to the source, and shows what was left out so nothing important disappears. Inputs: - The text to summarize, pasted in full: [Text] - Who will read the summary and what they already know: [Reader] - What the reader will do with it (decide, reply, file, study, share): [Purpose] - Length limits for each version: [LengthLimits] - Points that must appear if they are in the text: [MustKeep] - Tone or format rules (plain bullets, no jargon, formal): [Style] Generate: 1.

Short paragraph summary within LengthLimits for Reader, in Style. 4. Actions, decisions, owners, and dates found in the Text, as a list. Write "none stated" if there are none. 5. Left out: the details I cut and why, so I can add any back. 6. Faithfulness check: every number, name, and date in the summary listed next to where it appears in the Text, plus any MustKeep point that the Text does not contain. Rules: - Use only what the Text says. No outside facts, no guesses about intent, no new numbers. - Keep hedges and uncertainty from the source ("may", "proposed") in the summary. - Quote exact wording for any figure, deadline, or commitment. - If the Text is too long or cut off, say so instead of summarizing a partial copy.

Paragraph map: each numbered paragraph's job in one line and whether it supports the thesis, repeats, or drifts. 4. Top three revision priorities, ranked by rubric weight and by how far the draft is from the next level. 5.

Speech Writing Prompt: Any Occasion, Timed to Your Minutes
Write a speech for any occasion from your own stories and facts, timed to your minutes and speaking pace, with an outline, a read-aloud draft, and a short cut.

Word budget: Minutes times Pace, minus about 10 percent for pauses and applause. If Pace is missing, tell me to read one paragraph aloud for 60 seconds and count the words, and use 120 words per minute only as a placeholder labeled PLACEHOLDER. 2. Outline: opening line, three beats built from Stories, and a closing line that lands CoreMessage. Show the word count planned for each part so they add up to the word budget. 3. Read-aloud draft: the full speech within the word budget. Short sentences, names said in full the first time, a [PAUSE] cue after each story's key line, and no lines that only work on paper. 4. Delivery notes: three places to slow down, one line to look up from the page, and any name I should check pronunciation for. 5. Short version: a cut down to about two thirds of the word budget, in case the schedule runs late, showing which beat was removed. Rules: - Use only the stories and facts in Stories. If a beat is thin, ask me a question in brackets instead of inventing a detail. - Respect ToneLimits exactly. No roast lines unless I ask. - Plain spoken English, no quotes from famous people unless I supply them.

Cliche swap list: replace stock phrases (soulmate, my everything, words cannot express) with the concrete detail they were hiding. 6. Card version: a 50 to 70 word version for a handwritten card. 7.

Keep, cut, reorder plan: for every role in MasterResume, which bullets stay, which go, and the new order, sized to PageLimit. AlwaysKeep items stay. 3.

Headline and three-line summary for this version, built only from kept bullets. 5. Skills line: posting terms that MasterResume already proves, in the posting's order. 6.
