Tighten this
Cut a piece of writing to a stated length and show what was lost, so you can judge the trade rather than accept it.
The prompt
Cut the text below to WORDS words. Keep my voice. Return three things. The tightened text. What went, as a list. Each line names what you removed and why: repetition, hedging, a detail the reader does not need, a sentence that restated the one before it. What I would lose if you cut further. One or two items, quoted from the original, that are carrying the argument rather than decorating it. Rules. Do not add a single fact, number or claim that is not already there. Do not make a hedged sentence certain. If the text cannot reach the target without losing something load bearing, say so, give me the shortest honest version, and tell me its length. TEXT:
How to use it
Run this in Chat. It is a thinking tool, not a deliverable.
Use when something you wrote is too long and you want the cut shown rather than hidden.
Vibe prepares and drafts. You verify and decide. Ask for a citation on every finding: a confident answer is not evidence.
What you get back
The tightened text at the target length, a list of what was cut, and anything that could not be cut without losing meaning.
What it writes
Nothing. This one only answers.
