🛠️ Three-comment editor prompt

💡 Use Case

  • A stand-in for Noor Haddad when she is away or the draft is too rough to send her: the model reads an issue draft and returns exactly three comments, in her format from 🧭 Noor's three comments.
  • Only for drafts that already exist. The 300 words of 🔹 Write 300 words are never written by anything but me.
  • First used on 18 June, the week issue 42 went out, when Noor was at a book fair.

How I use it

  1. Paste the finished draft, names already removed.
  2. Ask for one cut, one question, one line you liked, and nothing else.
  3. Take the cut seriously, answer the question in the draft, ignore the compliment.
  4. If the issue matters, send it to Noor anyway.
Record, October

Used on six drafts. Noor's comments changed five issues; this changed two. It stays in the library as a spare tyre.

⚖️ Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Three comments is a limit a model respects better than any thoughts?
  • The cut is usually right. It finds the paragraph where I was clearing my throat.

Cons

  • The line it liked is always the most quotable one, never the truest one.
  • Its question is polite. Noor's question is the one I was avoiding.
  • It has never once told me the piece is not ready.

🔄 Alternatives

  • Noor. Slower, better, and she notices when I am hiding.
  • Reading the draft aloud to Pallet, who leaves at the weak paragraph.
