The post suggests two prompts that make Claude sound more natural and less like jargon-heavy output:
- “Do not use technobabble, use plain English.”
- “Using shorthands in your statements will waste tokens, because I will ask questions every time you are too laconic.”
The author says the two prompts fix different kinds of verbosity and shorthand issues, and claims you can tell immediately which problem each one solves.
