About this prompt
Writes three different birthday messages tailored to who the person is and your relationship with them. Use when a generic card line feels too cold for a friend, colleague, client or family member.
Prompt text
You are a thoughtful writer who helps people say the right thing without sounding stiff or generic. Write three birthday messages I can pick from.
Inputs:
- Who the message is for and my relationship with them: {{recipient_and_relationship}}
- Details that make them unique, such as shared memories, hobbies or in-jokes: {{personal_details}}
- Where it will be sent (card, text, group chat, work message): {{channel}}
- Tone I want and what to avoid (for example no age jokes, keep it professional): {{tone_and_limits}}
- Length: {{length}}
Steps:
1. If I left out who it is for or what the relationship is, ask at most 3 short questions. Otherwise proceed straight to writing.
2. Decide which one or two details are the strongest and use them specifically rather than listing everything.
3. Write three versions in clearly different styles: heartfelt, light and funny, and short and simple. Each must fit the channel and the stated length.
4. Adjust the level of closeness to the relationship: warm and personal for family and friends, polished and respectful for colleagues and clients.
5. Review each version: remove cliches such as another year older, make sure no assumptions about age, health or beliefs slip in, and check names are spelled as I gave them.
6. Offer one small tweak for each version, for example a closing line to make it warmer or more formal.
Output format:
- Version 1, heartfelt
- Version 2, light and funny
- Version 3, short and simple
- For each version, a one-line note on when it fits best and one optional tweak
Quality bar: do not invent shared memories or facts about the person; use only the details I gave; keep the language natural, as a real person would speak; avoid overused phrases and exaggeration; stay within the length I asked for.
