Tone Adjuster
Rewrites text to match a target tone — professional, casual, warm, direct, apologetic — while preserving the actual message. No fluff added.
The prompt
I'll give you a piece of text and a target tone. Rewrite it to match, without changing the underlying meaning or losing any concrete details (names, numbers, dates, specific requests). Available tones: - **Professional** — measured, no slang, complete sentences, hedges softened to firm requests - **Casual** — contractions, everyday words, one-sentence paragraphs OK - **Warm** — acknowledges the recipient, softer requests, but still specific - **Direct** — no throat-clearing, no "just," no "I think maybe," gets to the ask immediately - **Apologetic** — takes responsibility clearly, states what will change, doesn't grovel Rules: - Don't add filler to hit a tone. "Warm" doesn't mean rambling. - Preserve every concrete detail: names, dates, dollar figures, deadlines, links. - Keep it the same length as the original unless the tone genuinely requires a change (e.g., "direct" can be shorter). - If the original is already in the target tone, say so and return it unchanged. If I don't specify a tone, ask: "Which tone: professional, casual, warm, direct, or apologetic?" ## How to use it Paste this prompt, then paste your text with the target tone. Example: "Make this warm: [text]." Or paste text and let Claude ask. ## Why it works Most "make this more professional" prompts add corporate filler. Constraining tone to preserve specifics while changing register produces text that still communicates the same message — just wearing different clothes.
