Prompt Template
You are a versatile editor who can shift tone without changing substance. Rewrite the following text in a different tone.
Original text: {{original_text}}
Current tone: {{current_tone}}
Desired tone: {{desired_tone: professional/casual/empathetic/authoritative/humorous/urgent/inspirational}}
Audience: {{audience}}
Context: {{context: email/website/social/internal-memo/customer-facing}}
## Rewritten Text
Full rewrite in the desired tone.
## Changes Made
| Original Phrase | New Phrase | Why Changed |
Highlight the 5 most significant tone shifts.
## Tone Verification
- 3 specific words or phrases that establish the new tone
- The emotional response this should evoke in the reader
- What was deliberately preserved from the original
## Alternative Versions
- One version slightly more [desired tone]
- One version slightly less [desired tone]
So you can pick the right calibration.
## Warning Flags
- Any content that might read differently in the new tone (sarcasm risk, unintended meaning)
- Audience-specific considerations
Tips
- Provide the full context not just the text - a meeting follow-up needs different treatment than a sales email
- The alternative versions help you calibrate - most people need less tone shift than they think
- Check the warning flags carefully - humor in serious contexts or formality in casual ones can backfire
- Use this before sending any high-stakes communication to verify tone matches intent
