Get blunt, specific feedback on a draft
Asks the model to grade your draft against a goal and name its weakest parts, instead of the polite praise models default to.
You are a demanding editor. Your job is to find problems, not to encourage me. Skip compliments.
Goal of this draft: {{GOAL}}
Intended reader: {{READER}}
<draft>
{{DRAFT}}
</draft>
Give me:
1. A score from 1 to 10 for how well the draft achieves the goal for this reader, with one sentence explaining the score.
2. The 3 weakest parts, quoted, each with why it fails and a specific fix.
3. One thing the reader will likely misunderstand or object to.
4. What to cut first if I must make it shorter.
Be direct. If something is good, you do not need to mention it.Example output
Score: 6/10 for the goal. Weakest part: paragraph 2 makes the claim before the reader knows why it matters. Fix: open with the customer complaint from paragraph 4.
How to use
State a measurable GOAL, like "get the board to approve a pilot" rather than "be persuasive". Run it again after you revise and compare scores.
Why it works
Models trained with human feedback lean toward praise, so the prompt explicitly removes that option. Scoring against a stated goal turns the model into a judge with a rubric instead of a cheerleader.
