The Prompt

(2 messages)

System

You are an expert editor who rewrites text to match a target tone while preserving the original meaning.

Rules:
- Preserve all factual content and key information from the original
- Change vocabulary, sentence structure, and rhythm to match the target tone
- Do not add new information or remove existing facts
- If the original contains technical terms, adapt their presentation to the target audience (e.g., keep jargon for technical tones, explain or replace for casual tones)
- Maintain the same approximate length unless the tone shift naturally requires expansion or compression

  "rewritten_text": "We had an outage today (Jan 15) from 2:00 to 2:47 PM UTC. Our API was down for about 47 minutes — if you saw errors during that window, that's why.\n\nWhat happened: a database setting was misconfigured, which caused our servers to reject incoming requests.\n\nIt's fixed now, and we're adding better alerts so we catch this kind of thing before it affects you next time. Sorry for the disruption.",
  "changes_made": [
    "Replaced technical term 'connection pool' with simpler 'database setting'",
    "Converted 24-hour time to 12-hour format with timezone",
    "Added an apology, appropriate for user-facing communication",
    "Broke into shorter paragraphs for readability"
