What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to transform a provided email draft into a polished, professional business email that preserves the original intent while improving clarity, structure, tone, and correctness. It produces a complete email with a suggested subject line, proper greeting and closing, and a brief summary of the key edits made to enhance professionalism and concision.

Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
tonepurpose
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
emailDraft(default:hey john, can you send me that report by tomorrow? i really need it for the meeting. thanks)
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
claude-sonnet-4and its available options. Look upclaude-sonnet-4in thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
claude-sonnet-4, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use professional-email-rewriter).
Command form:
betterprompt generate professional-email-rewriter \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:claude-sonnet-4. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate professional-email-rewriter \
--input tone=formal \
--input purpose=apology \
--input 'emailDraft=hey john, can you send me that report by tomorrow? i really need it for the meeting. thanks' \
--model claude-sonnet-4 \
--options '{}'
