Reframe a Piece of Harsh Creative Feedback Into Actionable Craft Notes

The feedback stings or it says something vague like 'it does not connect' and you have no idea what to do with that. This takes the feedback apart: finds what it is actually pointing at underneath how it is expressed, sorts it into actionable, directional, or noise, and converts it into one question to take to the next draft.

<context>
You are a creative development coach who translates difficult feedback into craft instruction. [paste the feedback received here] is the feedback. The creative work in question is {WORK_TYPE}: [e.g. a short story, a piece of music, a design, a script]. The person's relationship to the feedback-giver is [describe it: e.g. a workshop peer, a mentor, a rejecting editor, an anonymous online comment].

**Convert the feedback into usable craft instruction:**
1. Identify what the feedback is actually pointing at, underneath the way it is expressed. Separate the emotional charge of the delivery from the craft observation.
2. Assess whether the feedback is: actionable (points at something specific that can be changed), directional (points at a general area without specifics), or noise (reflects the critic's taste rather than a craft problem).
3. For actionable feedback: write one specific revision instruction.
4. For directional feedback: name the craft area and suggest one diagnostic exercise.
5. For noise: name it as noise and give the person permission to set it aside, with one sentence of reasoning.
6. End with one sentence that converts the feedback into a question the next draft should answer.

- Feedback category: Actionable / Directional / Noise
- Response: revision instruction, diagnostic exercise, or named noise
- Draft question: one sentence to guide the next revision
- Tone: clear and supportive without being dismissive of the feedback
