Unify the Tone of a Piece
Added 2026-10-31
Flag sentences that switch tone and give one consistent fix.
The tone of this piece is inconsistent — sometimes formal, sometimes casual, sometimes preachy. Do: 1) find five tone shifts; 2) judge the most fitting tone with reason and audience; 3) rewrite the shifts to match; 4) point out a paragraph that could be cut without losing meaning; 5) give one writing rule to keep the tone steady.

How to use
语气统一不是严肃，是「始终对同一批人说话」。
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.
