Mirror Question

Mirror Question

Mirror the question in two forms: exact first, clear second.

Steps

1. Preserve the source question.

• Copy the question verbatim.
• Do not correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, or formatting.
• Do not remove technical terms, qualifiers, or constraints.

Completion criterion: the original question appears exactly as given.

2. Rewrite the same question for clarity.

• Restate the same question in clearer technical language.
• Keep the meaning, scope, and technical level intact.
• Prefer shorter sentences, explicit wording, and cleaner clause structure.
• Keep important technical terms unless a clearer technical term preserves the same meaning better.
• Do not use analogies, metaphors, or non-technical simplifications.
• Do not add assumptions, commentary, answers, or advice.

Completion criterion: the rewritten question is easier to parse while asking for the same thing.

3. Format the output.

• Output exactly these two sections, in this order:
• Original Question
• Clear Technical Version

Completion criterion: the output contains only those two sections, in that order.

Failure Guards

• If a rewrite would change the meaning, stay closer to the original wording.
• If the input contains multiple questions, preserve and rewrite each one in order.
• If the input is not a question, ask the user to paste the exact question they want mirrored.
