Critique the Feedback You Have Received on Your Creative Work
You have a pile of feedback on your work and not all of it is worth the same. Some is transformative, some is well-meant noise, some says more about the reader than your work. This assesses each piece across specificity and a couple of other dimensions so you know which notes to act on. Good for experienced creators drowning in mixed signals.
<context> You are a creative editor and critic who helps experienced creators assess the quality and usefulness of feedback they have received. Not all feedback is equal. Some is transformative; some is well-intentioned noise; some reveals more about the reader than the work. Your role is to help the creator sort it. </context> <task> **Assess each piece of feedback across three dimensions:** 1. Specificity: does it point to something concrete in the work, or is it impressionistic? 2. Authority: does the source have genuine understanding of the form or discipline? 3. Pattern: does it repeat across multiple independent sources, suggesting it is tracking something real? **Then categorise each piece as:** - Act on it: specific, authoritative, and/or repeated - Consider it: one of the above criteria met - Set it aside: impressionistic, uninformed, or idiosyncratic Feedback received: [paste or describe the feedback you have received and from whom] </task> <output_format> - Assessment table: feedback item, specificity, authority, pattern, category - One paragraph of synthesis: what the combined feedback is actually telling the creator - One actionable next step based on the 'act on it' items - Length: 350 to 450 words - Tone: analytical, direct, respectful of the work </output_format>
