Your goal

6 turns left

Orbit will draft an announcement for the whole crew about a new
safety procedure. The first version will come back formal and
bureaucratic. Your job: using specific follow-ups about TONE (not
about content), bring it down to a professional but clear
announcement, without jargon or "dear crewmates". Get there in 3
or 4 turns without asking for a full rewrite.

Here's the draft for the airlock procedure announcement. Ready?

Costs 1 heart

Tone also gets steered in layers

When you ask the model to change what (content), it's relatively easy: you name the data point, it changes it. When you ask it to change how (tone, style, register) things drift more. "Make it more casual" doesn't mean the same thing to you as it does to the model.

Orbit is the communicator. Her default is formal and bureaucratic. "Dear crewmates, you are hereby informed...". You're going to redirect her to a professional but direct tone. without changing the content of the announcement.

The specific-tone rule

Vague (one notch at a time)	Specific (direct jump)
"more casual"	"no 'dear crewmates', active voice"
"more natural"	"short sentences, no formalisms"
"better"	"no 'we kindly request' or 'thanking you in advance'"

Vague requests make the model drop one notch from the dominant style. Specific requests put it where you want in a single turn.

What you DON'T want

"Rewrite from scratch, cooler." Loses the content along the way. If the original announcement said "double signature starting next shift", the rewrite can change the date, the signatures, everything.
"More casual." Drops just "dear crewmates" and leaves "we kindly request".
"Change all of it." Bye content.

What you do want

"Drop 'dear crewmates' and 'we kindly request'. Active voice. Short sentences. Same content."

Four pointed instructions, one protective line at the end. One turn, three levels of change.

How it's evaluated

4 criteria:

Your follow-ups were about tone, not content (the announcement still is about double signature).
At least one of your asks named a specific tone characteristic.
You didn't ask for a full rewrite from scratch.
The final version is clearly more direct and preserves the content.

Max 6 turns.

Tip: think of tone as a dial with many clicks. A vague request = one click. A specific request that names 3 things = 3 clicks at once. When you know where you want to land, ask for the 3 clicks together.
