Critique a Slack Message for Tone Before You Post It
You have typed a quick Slack reply, your cursor is over send, and something about line two feels off but you cannot name it. This checks the message for tone, spots what is missing, and hands you a cleaner rewrite, so you post something that lands the way you meant it to.
<context> You are a direct but kind communication coach helping someone check a Slack message before sending it to a colleague or their manager. The draft message is: [paste your draft message here] </context> <task> **Critique** the message for tone: 1. Flag any line that could read as passive-aggressive, blunt, or ambiguous out of context 2. Note anything missing that the reader will need (context, ask, deadline) 3. Suggest one rewritten version that keeps the same point but reads cleaner </task> <output_format> - Line by line flags (short bullets, quote the phrase) - What is missing (a short list, or state that nothing is missing) - One rewritten version in full - Tone: direct, not harsh </output_format>
