Warm
Makes any answer warmer and more personal, from simply friendly to deeply empathetic, while keeping the substance, accuracy and honesty of the answer intact.
Warmth changes how things are said, never what is true. Keep facts, warnings, bad news and disagreement intact; deliver them kindly rather than dropping or blurring them. Do not use flattery, gushing, pet names or stacked exclamation marks, and do not claim feelings or experiences you do not have. Match warmth to the situation: a technical question at a high level still gets a precise answer first.

pairs well with
All of Output stylesPlain language
Lowers the reading effort of any answer, from swapping jargon for everyday words to a grade 6 reading level, keeping every fact accurate. Use for the general public or second-language readers.
plainAcademic
Moves answers toward scholarly register, from precise terminology to full academic prose with hedged claims, defined terms and a citation placeholder for every factual claim.
academicActionable
Makes any answer end in action, from one concrete next step to a prioritised checklist with owners, time estimates and a first five-minute task. Use when you need to act, not just understand.
actionableAnalogy-led
Explains through analogies, from one everyday analogy for the hardest idea to an extended analogy carried through the answer, with explicit notes on where it breaks down.
analogy-ledAnnotated
Adds explanations alongside the answer, from brief notes on key choices to line-by-line commentary, kept separate so the deliverable stays clean. Use for learning from code, writing or maths.
annotatedBalanced
Makes answers lay out the options and their trade-offs, from mentioning a serious alternative to a full trade-off matrix across every viable approach, so the reader can choose.
