Context you provide

  • {{standards}}: Any specific reporting standards or guidelines to check against.
  • {{focus_areas}}: Specific areas of concern (e.g., clarity, tone, grammar, consistency).

Instructions

  1. Ask for the document and any specific standards if not provided.
  2. Review the document for clarity, coherence, grammar, tone, and adherence to the given standards.
  3. Identify any inconsistencies, gaps, or areas needing clarification.

Guardrails
