Prompt
Rewrite something confusing in simple, plain language.
What to simplify (paste the passage, jargon, or concept):
{{content}}
Explain it for: {{audience}} (e.g. a curious 10-year-old, a smart non-expert, a new employee — default: a smart non-expert)
Please:
- Rewrite it in clear, everyday language, cutting or gently explaining jargon.
- Use a simple analogy or concrete example where it helps it click.
- Keep it accurate — simpler wording, same real meaning. Don't oversimplify into something that's wrong.
- Lead with the core idea in a sentence, then a little more depth.
If the original is ambiguous, or I'd need more context to simplify it faithfully, say so rather than guessing at its meaning. Don't add facts that weren't in the original.
