What to paste in
- COMPLEX TOPIC
- AUDIENCE
- WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW
- WORD LIMIT
The prompt
Explain [COMPLEX TOPIC] to [AUDIENCE] who knows [WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW]. Start with a plain-language definition, use one everyday analogy, explain the three essential parts, give a concrete example, and end with a common misunderstanding to avoid. Keep it under [WORD LIMIT] words and define unavoidable technical terms.
How to adapt it
- Replace the bracketed placeholders with your real complex topic, audience, what they already know before you run it.
- Keep the requested structure and constraints; adjust the tone for your writing context.
- Review the first answer against your own facts, then ask for a second pass on anything that feels vague or unsupported.
