Make an Angry Draft Presentable
Added 2026-10-31
Keep the point, remove the heat, produce something sendable.
I wrote a heated reply (below). Do: 1) mark sentences that vent rather than state a position; 2) keep my core facts and asks, rewrite into something sendable; 3) flag anything I may be misremembering or exaggerating and suggest "to be verified"; 4) give a calm but firm closing; 5) do not make it weak.

How to use
先写下最想说的，再删掉不能发的。
Try tweaking it
- Ask for three openings in different tones, then pick one.
- Replace "make it better" with concrete limits: length, reader, facts to keep.
What you should get
- A publishable draft, not an outline
- A short changelog: what changed and why
Common mistakes
- Letting it guess the facts, so plausible-looking sources get invented.
- Dumping the whole text with just "polish it" — the result still has no point.
How to check the output
- The conclusion comes first; deleting the opening paragraph does not break it.
- Every fact, number and quote traces back to the source text.
Where it works
- Good for: turning a rambling draft into a conclusion-first, shorter version.
- Watch out: keep sources and figures verbatim — do not let it invent citations.
