Prompt

Turn a tangled request into one clear paragraph

Why now: Google's emphasis on multipart questions offers a practical reason to make your own complicated requests easier to follow.

Prompted by today's lead: Gemini 4 Hydrogen access varies across Google's tools

What you'll need

  • A rough, non-sensitive request containing several questions or constraints.

Steps

  1. Paste your rough request into the prompt.
  2. Compare the rewrite with your original, checking every constraint.
  3. Use the corrected request when you are ready to ask for an answer.

The prompt

Rewrite the rough request below as one clear paragraph of fewer than 120 words. Put the main goal first, then group related questions and constraints together. Preserve every stated requirement, preference and uncertainty. Correct typos, but do not invent details, resolve ambiguities or answer the request. Return only the rewritten request in plain text with no Markdown formatting.

[paste your rough request]

What you should get

One plain-text paragraph under 120 words, with the main goal first and related details grouped. It preserves every requirement, preference and uncertainty without answering the request or adding facts.

Tested example: Tested on sample input

Input

Can you help with a day trip by train, somewhere with a museum but not just museums? We leave after breakfast and need to be home before dinner. No car. Also somewhere to eat our packed lunch if it rains, ideally indoors, but not a restaurant where we'd need to buy food. Walking is fine, just not long steep hills. What should I decide before choosing a destination?

Output

Can you help plan a day trip by train to somewhere with a museum, but not only museums? We’ll leave after breakfast and need to be home before dinner, with no car. Walking is fine, but not long, steep hills. We also need somewhere to eat our packed lunch if it rains, ideally indoors, but not a restaurant where we’d have to buy food. What should I decide before choosing a destination?
