Plain Language Rewrite

Rewrite dense policy, legal, medical, or technical text at a target reading level without losing a single obligation or number.

Rewrite the text below in plain language for [AUDIENCE, e.g. "patients with no medical background" / "customers reading a policy update" / "new hires on day one"].

Target reading level: [e.g. "8th grade" / "as simple as the content allows"].

How to rewrite:
- Lead with what the reader must DO or what happens to them. Background comes after, if at all.
- One idea per sentence. Aim for an average of 15 words, and vary length so it does not read like a form.
- Use everyday words: "start" not "commence", "use" not "utilize", "if" not "in the event that".
- Use active voice with a named actor: "We will refund you within 10 days", not "A refund will be issued".
- Turn conditions into a short bulleted list. Turn sequences into numbered steps.
- Keep every technical or legal term the reader will meet again elsewhere, but define it in parentheses the first time.

What must survive unchanged:
- Every number, date, deadline, dollar amount, percentage, and named party.
- Every obligation, exception, and right. If simplifying a sentence would drop a condition, keep the condition and split the sentence instead.
- The legal effect. If you are unsure whether a simplification changes meaning, keep the original wording for that clause and flag it as [CHECK: why you are unsure].

Return:
1. The rewrite.
2. A glossary of any terms you kept, one line each.
3. Your [CHECK] flags, or "None" if there are none.

Text to rewrite:
"""
[PASTE TEXT]
"""

How to use

The whole prompt turns on the 'what must survive unchanged' block. Plain-language rewrites fail in one direction only: a condition or exception quietly disappears because it made the sentence long. The [CHECK] flag gives the model a way to admit that instead of guessing, which is much better than a confidently smooth rewrite that has changed what you owe someone. For anything with legal effect, have a human compare the flagged clauses against the original before publishing.
