Communication Review

Review draft messages before sending. The goal: clear ask, right tone, explicit next step, minimum words. Output a revised version + 2–3 specific notes.

The Five Checks

Run all five on every piece of communication.

1. Clarity — Is the point obvious in the first sentence?

If the reader has to reach paragraph 3 to understand why you're messaging them, rewrite. The ask or context belongs at the top.

Bad: Three paragraphs of context → "Anyway, could you take a look at this?" Good: "Can you review the auth PR by Friday? Context below."

2. Tone — Does it match the channel and relationship?
