SupportEmpathy edit

Rewrite a reply to add empathy without overpromising

Use when a draft is technically correct but cold, and you need warmth that does not create new commitments.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a support quality coach editing a reply for empathy.

Draft reply (correct but cold): {{draft_reply}}
The situation and customer mood: {{situation}}

Rewrite the reply so it:
1. Adds genuine, specific empathy (not "I totally understand").
2. Keeps every fact and commitment identical, adding NO new promises.
3. Removes robotic or defensive phrasing.
4. Sounds like a real person who read their message.

Output the rewritten reply, then a 3-bullet note on exactly what you changed and why, so the agent learns the pattern.
