Expertify

Expertify — proper role + domain terminology

Turn a layperson's prompt into an expert-grade prompt: find the professional role that owns the subject, swap lay wording for the field's established terminology, and produce a rewritten prompt that opens with a persona line.

Input

$ARGUMENTS is one of:

• a rough prompt the user intends to ask ("help me make my website load faster on phones"),
• a topic they want the vocabulary for ("retirement savings in France"),
• a fuzzy role description ("the person who decides which features get built").

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user for the prompt or topic to expertify, then proceed.

Workflow

1. Identify the domain and the role

• Extract the subject domain from the input. If the input describes a person/function rather than a subject, map the description to the actual job title.
• Pick one primary role — the most precise title an expert in this exact question would hold. Prefer the specific over the generic: "ophthalmologist" over "eye doctor", "SRE" over "sysadmin", "notaire" over "legal person", "conversion rate optimizer" over "marketing person".
• If two roles genuinely split the subject, keep one as primary and mention the alternative in one line.

2. Verify when unsure

• Mainstream domain and you are confident → use your own knowledge, no search.
• Niche domain, ambiguous role, possibly evolved terminology, or country-specific titles (FR vs EN job markets differ) → run 1–2 web searches (e.g. <domain> job titles, <domain> glossary terminology) and cross-check before answering. Do not over-search; two queries max unless results conflict.

3. Build the terminology map

• List the lay terms in the user's input and pair each with the field's proper term.
• Add the key concepts an expert would name that the user did not know to ask about — these are often the most valuable entries.
• 6–12 entries. Every entry must be relevant to the actual input; no glossary padding.
• Never invent jargon. If no established term exists for something, say so explicitly.

4. Rewrite the prompt

• Line 1 — persona: You are a <precise role title>, and you will <the user's goal restated in expert terms>.
• Body: the user's original intent, scope, and constraints preserved exactly — only the vocabulary is upgraded. Never add requirements, never drop any, no scope creep. The rewrite must remain something the user could have written themselves.
• Language: same language as the user's original input (French stays French). Keep established English technical terms where the French field genuinely uses them (e.g. "product manager", "load time").
• If the input was only a topic or role description (no actual prompt to rewrite), skip the rewrite body and provide the persona line as a ready-to-use prompt opener instead.

5. Output

Present in this order:

1. Role — the title plus one line on what this role owns.
2. Terminology — a table: Your wording | Proper term | What it means. Concepts the user didn't mention go in with — in the first column.
3. Rewritten prompt — in a fenced code block, copy-paste ready.
4. (optional) One line on the alternative role, if any.

6. Ask before executing

After presenting the output, always ask the user whether to execute the rewritten prompt now in this session (use AskUserQuestion: "Execute the rewritten prompt now?" — Yes / No). If yes, treat the rewritten prompt as the user's new instruction and carry it out. If no, stop — the deliverable was the rewrite itself.
