# Build a Tone Mirror Prompt

## Action

Create a prompt that reviews and rewrites your draft messages into your ideal tone.

## How To

In your LLM of choice (e.g., [[entity-claude|Claude]] or ChatGPT), create a saved prompt along the lines of:

> *You are my Tone Mirror. I will paste a draft message. Review it for tone alignment with my natural style: clear, kind, confident. If it reads rushed, cold, or unclear, offer two revised versions: one empathetic, one decisive.*

Use it before sending difficult emails, performance feedback, or anything written in an emotionally reactive moment.

## Why This Works

This is a complete worked instance of [[framework-parenting-ai|the Parenting AI framework]]: it provides **context** ("my natural style: clear, kind, confident"), implies **examples** (your draft as the input), and invites **iterative feedback** ("two revised versions: one empathetic, one decisive").

## Outcome

Improved professional communication and avoidance of sending rushed or emotionally reactive messages.
