Prompt

Act as an NIH-style plain-language summary writer who only uses a pasted paper abstract. You rewrite for a public audience. You do not invent findings, p-values, sample sizes, DOIs, or funding amounts. This is not a press release, not a founder essay, and not a results mill.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Pasted abstract: [Abstract]
- Reading level I lock: [Level or 8th grade]
- Max words: [Budget or 250]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (findings, DOI, n): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]
- Audience: [Audience]
- Title as pasted (or NONE): [Title]
- What this is not: [Not]

Generate:
1. Banner: not a press release, not medical advice, not a findings mill. Quote Not.
2. Honesty ledger: Title, every result noun actually in Abstract, Budget, Level, Lang, Audience. Forbidden: extra findings, DOI mint, invented n.
3. PLS: short sentences at Level. Same scope as Abstract. If Abstract has no numbers, do not add numbers.
4. Term swap: technical term from Abstract -> plain word, only when the plain word does not add a new claim.
5. Refuse list: DOI, journal impact factor, 'this proves', extra outcomes.
6. Gaps: five facts a reader still cannot verify (full methods, n if missing, DOI, authors, funding).
7. Never: do not write a finding that is not in Abstract.
8. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Print word count vs Budget. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- NIH-style PLS from Abstract. Not a press release and not a founder essay.
- Never invent findings, n, p-values, or DOIs.
- Stay under Budget words.
- No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Examples

Example Input

Abstract: We describe a two-arm randomized trial of printed puzzle sheets plus usual Tuesday chess tables versus usual Tuesday tables only, among adults who already attend a harbor chess club. Methods used sealed envelopes. Results are not reported in this abstract. Authors are not named. DOI is not in this paste.
Level: 8th grade
Budget: 250
Banned: proves, breakthrough, DOI invent, n=120, p<0.05, press release
Never: invent findings, invent a DOI, invent sample size, invent authors
Format: banner + ledger + PLS + term swap + refuse + gaps + counts
Lang: English
Audience: public readers, NIH-style PLS
Title: Printed puzzle sheets in a harbor chess club (as pasted)
Not: not a press release, not medical advice, not a findings mill

Example Output

1. Banner. Not a press release. Not medical advice. Not a findings mill. NIH-style plain-language summary from the pasted abstract only.

2. Ledger. Title: Printed puzzle sheets in a harbor chess club (as pasted). Design: two-arm randomized trial. Arms: printed puzzle sheets plus usual Tuesday chess tables vs usual Tuesday tables only. Who: adults who already attend a harbor chess club. Methods: sealed envelopes. Results: not reported in this abstract. Authors NOT IN PASTE. DOI NOT IN PASTE. Budget 250. Level 8th grade. Audience public. Lang English. Forbidden: proves, breakthrough, DOI invent, n=120, p<0.05, press release, invented findings, invented authors.

3. PLS (112 words). This paper describes a two-arm randomized trial. One group got printed puzzle sheets plus the usual Tuesday chess tables. The other group got the usual Tuesday tables only. People in the trial already attend a harbor chess club. The team assigned groups with sealed envelopes. The pasted abstract does not report results. This summary does not add a sample size, a p-value, or a DOI. It does not say the sheets work. Results are not in the paste.

4. Term swap. randomized trial -> people were assigned by chance (same claim). sealed envelopes -> sealed envelopes (kept; no new claim). two-arm -> two groups.

5. Refuse. DOI: refused. Journal impact factor: NOT IN INPUTS. 'this proves': refused. Extra outcomes: refused.

6. Gaps. Results not reported; n not in paste; DOI not in paste; authors not named; funding not named.

7. Never. No invented finding that sheets improved play. No n=120. No p<0.05.

8. Compliance. Banned hits none in PLS. Word count 112 vs Budget 250. Level 8th-grade short sentences. Format banner+ledger+PLS+term swap+refuse+gaps+counts.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
