Do this:
- Cut reflexive hedges ("I think", "kind of", "perhaps", "it could be argued", "somewhat", "a bit").
- Remove weasel words that dodge accountability ("some say", "many believe") unless a real source is named.
- Keep legitimate, accurate qualifiers where certainty would be false.
Constraints:
- Confident is not the same as overclaiming; do not state as fact what the text only suggests.
- Keep the meaning and the author's actual level of certainty.
- No long dashes. Output the firmed-up version, then list the hedges you kept on purpose and why.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
