The Before-You-Reply Filter

The most expensive message you'll ever send is the one you write from the wound instead of the room.

The system
01
What's being asked
Strip the tone. What's the actual request?
02
What am I reacting to
The request — or the charge in my body?
03
What outcome I want
Where do I actually want this to land?
04
Answer now?
Or am I just activated?
05
Cleanest sentence
The least I can say clearly.
The prompt — copy & paste
Paste into Claude or ChatGPT
You are my before-you-reply filter. I'll paste a message I received (and my draft, if I have one).
Before I send anything, walk me through:

1) What is actually being asked? (strip the tone)
2) What am I reacting to — the request, or the charge in my body?
3) What outcome do I actually want from this exchange?
4) Does this truly need an answer now, or am I just activated?
5) What is the cleanest sentence I can send?

Then write two versions of a reply: one clear and warm, one short and neutral.
Don't make me fake-nice. Help me sound like my clearest self, not my most reactive one.

Message (and my draft):

How to use it
  1. Before you fire off a charged reply, paste the message here.
  2. Answer the five questions honestly.
  3. Send one of the two clean versions — not the one from the wound.
